Is spring the best time for you to Buy or Sell? A rise in temps can inspire both sellers & buyers to consider their options early. Here’s what to expect in the 2025 Boston Real Estate Market – Contact Julie to get a jump-start on the competition.
SPRING 2025 Real Estate Outlook: Boston & Surrounding Areas
As we head into spring 2025, the Boston real estate market is showing signs of cautious optimism. After a few years of fluctuating interest rates and limited inventory, the market is gradually stabilizing. Mortgage rates have moderated compared to their peak in 2023, and although still higher than pre-pandemic levels, they’re becoming less of a deterrent for qualified buyers. Meanwhile, inventory is slowly increasing as more homeowners feel confident listing their properties. This should offer a bit more breathing room for buyers who’ve been navigating tight competition.
BUYERS
Patience and preparation will be key. While bidding wars are less frenzied than in previous spring seasons, desirable properties—especially in coveted neighborhoods —still move quickly. Getting pre-approved for a mortgage and working with an experienced local agent, like Julie Harrison, can give you a competitive edge. Also, consider expanding your search radius to emerging suburbs where prices may be more reasonable and commutes still very manageable.

SELLERS
It’s still a good time to sell, but strategy matters more than ever. Homes priced appropriately and well-presented (think clean, staged, and updated where possible) are selling faster than those that aren’t. With more listings hitting the market this spring, sellers should be realistic about pricing and open to negotiations. Highlighting energy-efficient features, home office spaces, and updated kitchens or baths can also help attract buyers in today’s market.
