Many buyers have a home to sell before they buy. That creates a natural dilemma, and Rick Renna, Sr. Loan Officer and VP with Blue Hills Bank in Concord, Massachusetts sat down with us to explain the range of options available! Can you get a bridge loan? Here’s the transcript: I’m Jessica Packineau with […]
Data for Lincoln, Concord, Weston, Wayland, and Lexington gives us a sense of the big trends over the past 5 years. Check it out below! You’ll see that 2018 saw strengthening market indicators for sellers (decreases in inventory, increases in average sale price per square foot, and decreases in average days on the market). That’s […]
In this video, Rick Renna, Sr. Loan Officer with Blue Hills Bank sat down with Jessica in his Concord office to share his thoughts on the current mortgage market. We originally asked him about how buyers can overcome the gap between selling and buying (forthcoming). This was just a great, spontaneous addendum! We’re so grateful […]
After comprehensive community collaboration, we will undertake to (re)build and pay for an innovative and attractive $94.9M preK-8 Lincoln Pubic School, meaning a 17-19% increased property tax bill. Property value impact cannot be forecast; it was a decision the town needed to make without market speculation. The project makes it EVEN MORE important to use […]
Our analysis revealed that gains made over 2017 seemed to firm up in nearly all price brackets this year. What is the historic context for our current strong seller’s market in Lincoln?

We gave away 500 pieces of candy, a hundred “bones” pens and a hundred slime-covered “eyeball” bouncy balls from our ‘haunted house for sale” at the Rec Department’s trunk-or-treat. Our past clients got mini pumpkins, too. Jeannine was a spooky ghost hiding in our darkened van. Ours was a popular trunk!
There is so little on the market in Lincoln and the pent-up demand feels palpable. Is it borne out in the data? YES! But less so in surrounding towns. One year ago, today, there were 25 single family houses on the market in Lincoln, now there are 16. That works out to only three months’ […]

Top notch restaurants and shops meet at a commuter rail station that serves Cambridge and Boston. Concords great schools (No. 2 High School in Massachusetts!) resources for kids and families, walkable village center and […]
There are still only 12 houses on the market in Lincoln. That is extraordinarily low inventory, which has meant higher than expected offer prices for those houses that have come onto the market this spring. There is so little on the market, and what there is makes new listings look SO GOOD, but it is […]
Seven houses have come on the market so far in 2018 (that were not previously recently listed). Of those seven listings, four (maybe five, not sure yet) have accepted offers. And all four have had multiple offers (and will therefore sell at or above list price). THAT IS A VERY HOT SPRING! It’s only March […]
