ow that we’re well past the first quarter we can say with confidence that the higher interest rate environment has certainly not put a dent in buyer demand in our neck of the woods.

The good news for both buyers and sellers is that both inventory and sales are up for both condos and single-family homes in Brookline and Newton. It should be noted, however, that the increase in inventory in the single-family home market tends to be skewed to the high end of the market. Certainly, we need more homes in the starter and mid-priced home range.

It is a challenging market right now. If you are considering selling this year, we encourage you to get your home on the market as soon as possible, as the summer market tends to be somewhat slower.

If you are a buyer, getting information early about properties coming on the market is crucial.

Please do call upon us for any of your real estate needs or questions.
