This one is just sliiiiightly late, but multiple congratulations are in order to my friends/clients! They closed on this wonderful house in a preferred location of Norfolk, MA, and then just a few days later welcomed their first child to the world!

Buying a house in a very competitive market can be a huge challenge, but these two were motivated throughout the whole process. It certainly seemed like they were at every open house in Southeastern MA while they were searching, but they braved the highs and lows of a tough market and found the home they will start their family in! Thanks for trusting me and allowing me to be a part of all of this!

Congratulations to my clients on the purchase of their first home!

Normally, I like to choose the best listing photos when I make a post about a sale, but this house didn't have any, because it never made it to the market! When an incredible opportunity presented itself to view this home before it was listed, and inevitably got a ton of interest because it's a great house, these clients didn't hesitate to act. After a year of searching on and off, and facing the very real struggles of being first-time buyers in a very difficult market, they knew this was the one for them - and made it theirs!

Congrats again!

SOLD IN MARSHFIELD!

This one is a little late, but congratulations to my friend/client Lauren on the purchase of her first home!

Another great thing about working in real estate is when I have the opportunity to help friends. It's extra special to be a part of an important step like this with someone that I will see again outside of the business transaction. Lauren had one goal when we started working together: she wanted a house in Marshfield. She loves the town, the location, and already has friends there. If you are not familiar with the area and the market, this is much easier said than done. Countless crowded open houses, offers submitted, a pandemic, and oh yeah - she also did it on her own! With patience and determination, she now has HER house in HER town, and I'm thrilled that I was a part of the process!

One of the things I love about working in Real Estate is getting to know each client - and they're all unique. Each person brings their own knowledge and persoective from their own travels and experiences, and it's always fascinating to learn about them. This client has a particularly long resume, having lived in more states than I've even visited, but now has his own home in America's Hometown, my hometown of Plymouth!

Nothing has been easy during this pandemic, buying a home is no exception. Congratulations to my client for staying positive and motivated, and trusting me to help you navigate the crazy market. I'll see you around town, I'm sure! @ Plymouth, Massachusetts

Great quick read for anyone wondering what the Real Estate world has been like this summer. Here are some highlights:

- The supply of homes available for sale is down 21% from July 2019. Currently, it's the lowest single-family inventory available in HISTORY since the NAR started tracking single-family inventory in 1982.

- Sale prices are up 8.9% from July 2019, and the current median home sale is $304,100 - this is also a RECORD high, higher than the infamous Real Estate bubble in 2006

What does this mean for you, as a seller or buyer?

If you are thinking of selling your home, it's hard to say there will be a better time to do it than right now! Contact me to set up a viewing of your home and an analysis of your local market - completely free of charge.

As a buyer, the also historically low mortgage rates mean you have more buying power than ever- but it also means your offer needs to stand out. In a multiple offer situation, it's not always the highest dollar amount that wins. Contact me and I will work with you to put together a strategy so you can shop with confidence in this extremely competitive market!

Sales of existing homes soared 24.7% in July from June, according to the National Association of Realtors. The median price of a home sold in July rose 8.5% annually to $304,100.

Congratulations to my friends/clients and on the sale of their (now former) home in Holbrook! Their journey started out back in February, and included many highs and lows, including A PANDEMIC, but here we are. They stuck with it, trusted and I to get the job done, dealt with a tremendous amount of individual showing requests in a post-COVID environment, and eventually had their patience rewarded with a great offer for above asking price!

The best part is yet to come: they close on their beautiful new house in just 2 more days!

Congrats guys! @ Holbrook, Massachusetts
