🏡 Think you need 20% down to buy a home? Think again!

One of the biggest homebuying myths is that you need a 20% down payment. The truth is, many qualified buyers can purchase a home with as little as 3–5% down, and some programs may require even less.

If you’ve been waiting because you thought you needed to save more, it might be worth exploring your options now.

Today’s ruling by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court means the proposed statewide rent control ballot question is officially off the November 2026 ballot.

As a REALTOR who works with homeowners, housing providers, buyers, and renters, I believe this is the right outcome.

Massachusetts doesn’t have a rent problem because landlords can raise rents. We have a rent problem because we don’t have enough housing. Limiting rents may sound like a simple solution, but history has shown that rent control often discourages investment, reduces housing supply, and can make it even harder for people to find available housing.

The proposed measure would have imposed statewide caps on rent increases while doing little to address the root cause: a shortage of homes and apartments.

If we want more affordable housing, we need policies that encourage the creation of more housing at all price points, streamline development, and support responsible property owners who provide much of the state’s rental housing.

Housing affordability is a real challenge, but increasing supply—not restricting it—is the path to long-term stability.

What are your thoughts on today’s ruling?

While having a coffee in my hometown of Southborough, the question of the day was asked.
“How’s the market?”

🏡 Southborough Real Estate is Moving — The Numbers Tell the Story
As someone who is in this community pretty much every day, I will let the data do the talking. And this spring, the data is speaking loudly.
Here’s how the Southborough single-family market is performing compared to this time last year:
📊 Spring 2026 vs. Spring 2025 | Single Family Homes
✅ Homes Sold: 21 vs. 13 — that’s a 62% increase in sales activity
✅ Total Dollar Volume: $42,229,100 vs. $32,500,530 — nearly $10 million more changing hands
What does this mean for you as a homeowner? Buyer demand in Southborough is real, it’s active, and it’s growing. More homes are selling, more buyers are competing, and more value is being captured by sellers who chose to list this spring.
If you’ve been thinking about making a move — whether it’s your first time selling or you’ve done it before — this market is working in your favor right now.
Are you a first time or long time since you’ve sold a home? Wondering what updates you should do. I can answer those questions and others.

Barry Henley.

It’s always a wonderful feeling when your clients say “This is it”. It’s a wonderful feeling when you tell them their offer was accepted. It’s a wonderful feeling when you get “We are on record” text. But it’s an awesome feeling when you can hand your clients the keys to their bones home. This the second home sale in a row working with great attorneys, lender, clients and agents working towards the same goal. Thank you Candi Bettencourt and your sellers for a great experience!
