If you saw that North Shore condo prices jumped 14% in September, you saw a real number. It just doesn't mean what it sounds like.

31 of Beverly's 44 condo sales that month were in one new building. Most of those units went under contract back in the spring and all closed once the building was finished, at a median of $877,000. That single building was one in six condo sales across the North Shore in September, and it pulled the regional number up with it.

The condos selling one at a time are telling a different story. This year they're taking 44 days to sell, up from 34, and sellers are getting a little less of their asking price than last year.

If you own a condo, which number have you been going by? Comment CONDO or send me a message and I'll send you what units like yours actually sold for.

Carolyn bought her home on Boardman Street in Salem in October 2006. She handed over the keys on October 7, five days short of twenty years.

When I asked her what she loved about it, she told me she grew up in a house about the same age, and the first time she saw this one, she felt at home. The rest is in her words in the video.

Congratulations, Carolyn, and thank you for trusting me with it.

If you're selling a house in Massachusetts, there's a rule you should know. Every offer that comes in on your property has to be passed to you forthwith, which is the regulation's word for right away.

That includes the low ones and the complicated ones. It also includes the offer that would make your agent less money. A low offer today can turn into your best offer next week, but only if you know it's there.

Have you ever wondered whether you were seeing every offer? Comment OWED or send me a message and I'll send you the exact rule.

Here's something most buyers in Massachusetts never notice they missed. The first time an agent sits down with you about a specific house, they're required to hand you a two-page form called the agency disclosure. Its official name is the Massachusetts Mandatory Real Estate Licensee-Consumer Relationship Disclosure, if you want to look it up. It isn't a contract and it doesn't commit you to anything. It just says who that agent works for: the seller, you, or neither one.

If the agent works for the seller, the things you mention in passing, like your budget or how much higher you'd go, can end up with the seller.

Did anyone ever hand you this form? Comment OWED or send me a message and I'll show you what it looks like.

If you've noticed more price changes on North Shore listings lately, you're not imagining it.

The national coverage calls it a buyer's market. Locally, the story is narrower. Buyers have more room to negotiate on homes that have sat, but the number of homes to choose from has not jumped. Sellers who priced off last spring are the ones adjusting.

Thinking about buying or selling in the next few months? Comment SHIFT and I'll message you directly.

Quick one for anyone thinking about buying. I keep getting asked whether the market is too tough right now. Before you worry about that, there are three things I walk every buyer through. They take about ten minutes to answer, and they've changed more decisions than any rate move has.

Comment READY and I'll send you my buyer readiness checklist.

How do you win a house without being the highest offer? I get that question a lot, and this closing is a good example.

Price is only part of what a seller weighs. They're also asking whether the deal will hold together and close on time. My buyers had that side locked down before we ever wrote the offer, so when a competitive weekend hit, the sellers went with the surer thing over the bigger number.

If a move is on your radar, send me a message and I'll show you how to be in that position early.

For a couple of years on the North Shore, selling a home meant bracing for a frenzy. Ten showings in a weekend, offers stacked up, sale prices well over asking.

A house I just sold in Salem didn't have any of that. It got one offer. It closed at $1,375,000.

Here's the thing. At the top of this market, the frenzy has cooled, and it doesn't need to be there for a sale to be a good one. This was an 1878 home a block off the Common. We aimed high, tested where the ceiling of a shifting market actually was, and waited for the one buyer who belonged at this level. When they showed up, the house cleared right where I'd valued it before we ever listed.

One strong offer isn't a house that underperformed. It's a house that was priced honestly.

Thinking about selling something at this level around Salem or the North Shore? Comment SALEM or send me a message, and I'll walk you through how I priced and positioned this one.

A big part of this job that I don't talk about enough: helping good people say no.

My buyers spent months searching here on the North Shore. Three separate times they found a house they wanted and went under agreement. And three separate times, something turned up that they weren't willing to live with, so they walked and started over. Any one of those could have worn them down into settling. It didn't.

This week they got the keys to their first home, right here in Salem. The first one that was actually right.

If you're house hunting and worried you're being too picky, you're probably not. Knowing what you won't compromise on is most of the game, and having someone in your corner who protects that line is the rest.

Thinking about a move? Comment KEYS, or send me a message, and I'll walk you through the first-home game plan we used.
