GREAT NEWS shared by our Jack Conway CEO ~ Love that she shares this with us!
NAR’s latest Economists’ Outlook reminds us that December often brings more activity than people expect.
Historically:
Existing-home sales rise about 4% from November to December, showing that motivated buyers stay engaged through year-end.
Inventory typically declines around 9%, creating a market where serious buyers and ready sellers meet more easily.
December also sees steady participation from first-time buyers, who are often driven by job changes, tax planning, or life transitions that don’t follow the calendar.
Even during the holidays, the market continues to move, and those who stay active often benefit from the quieter landscape.
The Boston Globe’s new feature on the best places to buy in 2026 points to encouraging signs across Greater Boston:
buyers have more options than they realize, especially if they know where to look.
The article highlights several areas that fall within or immediately around Conway’s footprint:
Quincy, Weymouth, Brockton, Randolph & Stoughton
Noted for offering relative value compared to Boston, supported by transit access, shifting migration patterns, and community investment. Dorchester (specific sub-neighborhoods)
The Globe points to the area from Savin Hill to Neponset, especially within a 15-minute walk of the Red Line, as one of Boston’s most diverse and opportunity-rich sections, with varied housing stock and neighborhood amenities that support long-term value.
