Cambridge and Somerville are entering the summer 2026 market with very different signals depending on property type.

A few highlights from the latest MLS activity:
- Cambridge single-family homes closed at 104.2% of list, with 81.8% selling above asking price.
- Cambridge condos reached $977 per square foot.
- Somerville condos closed at 100.0% of list, with 42.5% selling above asking price.
- Somerville multi-family properties are showing a more measured pricing pattern, making property-specific analysis especially important.

I put together a full Cambridge & Somerville Summer 2026 Market Preview breaking down inventory, pricing, buyer demand, and where the local market is diverging from broader Greater Boston trends.

✨Just Sold!!!🏡

Not every sale is about highest price. The terms of the offer and timeline that is advantageous to a seller’s needs play an important role when considering which offer to accept.

As a Team we discuss our clients goals and prepare a marketing strategy tailored to optimizing our client’s needs. Such as longer closing time line, security of the transaction, possible Use & Occupancy. These terms can be more valuable to a seller than highest price on occasion.

Selling a home you've owned for 15, 20, or 30 years involves decisions that most seller guides skip entirely. What do you do with decades of belongings before you list? Which original features need updating and which ones buyers will love? What happens with capital gains on a home you bought at a fraction of today's value?

We put together a practical guide for long-term homeowners covering exactly these questions, from sorting and prep to pricing, logistics, and what to think through before committing to a listing date.

If you're starting to think about what selling looks like after years in the same home, this one's for you. DM us the word SELLING and we'll send you the full blog post directly.

Selling a home you've lived in for 15 or 20 years involves decisions that most seller guides don't cover. Here's a practical look at what's different and how to approach it.

Cambridge real estate conversations are increasingly being shaped by infrastructure, transit accessibility, and long-range planning decisions — not just interior finishes.

Along the Massachusetts Avenue corridor, projects tied to Red Line accessibility improvements, corridor planning, and institutional employment continue influencing how buyers and investors evaluate housing across Cambridge MA 02138.

In my latest market intelligence breakdown, I take a closer look at how these factors connect to properties near Central and Harvard Squares, including 872 Massachusetts Avenue.

If you're buying a home, you already know AI search tools are useful.

But they can't tell you what the seller needs from this deal, what your offer has to look like to win, or what the listing left out.

Check out our latest post to find out where that line is.

Another closing that took a creative, outside the box offer strategy to receive an accepted offer. With a multiple offer scenario it is imperative to understand the seller’s needs and present an offer that caters to those needs without sacrificing our buyer clients best interests.

Thank you for such a smooth transaction and we look forward to working with you again.
