December in Kingston, MA finished the year with scarce inventory, quick buyer action, and closed prices holding the line. The RPR Market Trends panel pegs Kingston at 1.02 months of inventory (deep seller territory), a Sold-to-List of 99.6% , median 7 days in RPR, and a median sold price of $729,000 —up 10.3% month-over-month . The Active Listings snapshot shows a $800,000 median list (up 2.6% MoM...

December in Norwell was the definition of tight: buyers stayed active, spreads stayed tight, and the market punished any listing that missed on value.  The month-end snapshot showed zero active single-family listings , which doesn’t mean “no homes existed” — it means that by the last day of December, nothing remained on the shelf.  Inventory has been chronically scarce, and December’s snapshot mad...

December in Plymouth 02360 delivered a classic year-end pattern: inventory stayed tight , pricing held up, but the market took longer to make decisions . Let’s start with the big picture for 02360 (single family + condo/townhouse).  Months of inventory came in at 1.59 , keeping the market seller-leaning despite the seasonal slowdown.  But the pace clearly cooled: median days in RPR jumped to 38 (a...

December kept Marshfield firmly in seller territory, but the picture is more nuanced than “everything sells instantly”.  With just 1.19 months of inventory , the RPR index still flags a clear seller’s market, even as conditions eased slightly from November’s ultra-tight levels.  On the pricing side, the story was strength at the higher end.  For single-family homes, 25 properties closed in Decembe...

December closed out the year with a lean, disciplined market in Scituate, MA 02066 . Fourteen single-family homes sold , delivering a median sale price of $935,000 , median days on market of ~24 , and median days-to-offer of 13 . In a month that typically cools, buyers stayed active when homes were priced to the market and presented well—proof that demand on the South Shore remains durable even as...

In this episode, I’m breaking down what really happened in the Hingham, Massachusetts housing market in December 2025 – and what it means if you’re thinking about buying or selling on Boston’s South Shore. Let’s start with the big picture: Hingham is still a clear seller’s market .  We finished December with just 0.97 months of inventory for single-family and condo/townhouse homes – less than one...

Duxbury closed the year exactly how a tight coastal market should: very little on the shelf, quick decisions when value is obvious, and selective—but not silent—activity at the top.  December’s macro tape shows a still-seller-leaning market: Months of Inventory at 1.9 (up ~25% month over month, but still lean), Sold-to-List 101.1% (a small uptick), and a median 5 days to go active-to-hot in RPR—fa...

Halifax’s housing market closed 2025 showing clear signs of tightening inventory and strong buyer competition despite seasonal slowing. With just 1.81 months of inventory , the town remains in a solid seller’s market , a condition further reinforced by a 98.6% sale-to-list ratio and median days on market of only 16 , a sharp rise from the previous month but still reflective of fast-moving properti...

In this episode, we break down why 55+ manufactured housing communities (often called “manufactured home parks”) are becoming a serious downsizing option—especially in high-cost markets like Massachusetts. The structure is different from a typical condo or single-family home: in many communities you own the home, but you rent the homesite (lot) under it. That land-lease model is one reason monthly...

Accessory Dwelling Units — known as ADUs, in-law suites, backyard cottages, or garage conversions — are rapidly emerging as one of Massachusetts’ most promising solutions to both the housing shortage and the needs of aging homeowners.
