We hope you're enjoying the start of summer! Last week was incredible, with the Celtics' championship parade passing right by our office on Boylston Street. Seeing everyone come together and celebrate historic championship #18 for the boys in green was amazing!

Now, let’s shift gears and take a look at the real estate market. While many headlines talk about our current inventory rising and some listings staying on the market longer than a year ago, a comparison with 2019 shows that inventory levels are still historically low.  

Please note: We pulled data for the entire Massachusetts single-family market only. This was to ensure we had a large enough sample size to make the numbers more consistent for comparison.
