Why Suburban Sellers Are Winning Big Right Now
Inventory is down, demand is up—and sellers are cleaning up.


Why Suburban Sellers Are Winning Big Right Now
If you’ve been toying with the idea of selling your home, you might want to take a serious look at what’s happening right now in many Massachusetts suburbs.
We’re seeing a wave of multiple-offer situations—and not just in luxury markets. Homes in towns like Wakefield, Reading, Franklin, and Dedham are often going under agreement within the first weekend of showings.
Why?
Inventory is tight. Many homeowners are holding back from listing, meaning buyers have fewer options.
Buyer urgency is high. With mortgage rates bouncing around, people are rushing to secure homes now.
Suburbs are hot. Remote work flexibility has made communities just outside Boston more desirable than ever.
What this means: If your home is priced and presented right, there’s a very real chance you’ll receive multiple competitive offers—and potentially above asking price—within days.
Thinking about testing the waters? I’m happy to show you what buyers are paying right now for homes like yours in your neighborhood.
Let’s chat.
Would it make sense for us to have a 10-minute conversation this week to see if now’s the right time for you?
If it turns out the market’s not right for you, no problem—at least you'll know where you stand. But if we find you could sell for more than you expected, would that be worth a quick conversation?

Low Inventory + High Demand = Seller Leverage
