As summer winds down, August offers the perfect window to jump into the market before fall routines take over. With motivated buyers, refreshed inventory, and plenty of sunny days left, it's an excellent time to make a move.
The North Shore market continues to show resilience. From January through August 1st, 427 single-family homes closed—nearly identical to the 421 closings during the same period in 2024. While sales volume has held steady year-over-year, prices tell a different story: the median sale price rose from $1.45M in 2024 to $1.5M in 2025, with list prices also edging upward. The market remains tight and competitive with homes selling for about 101% of list price—just as they did last year—even with today's higher interest rates. The average days on market lengthened slightly, from 20 to 25.
