Real Estate & Ramblings: Episode 23

In Episode 23 of the Real Estate & Ramblings Podcast, Jen and Michael dig into why the market finally feels “traditional” again, even as low inventory keeps pressure on buyers and sellers. They break down strategic pricing (let the market set the number), how their in-house staging barn helps listings pop, and the exact prep sellers should start now—think purge, paint, and a tiered “honey-do” list—so you’re ready to launch strong in late winter/early spring. They also chat rates hovering around ~6% and how boomers (the “silver tsunami”) are reshaping local inventory, plus details on their annual Toys for Tots drive with Matines Café in Chestnut Hill.
