In this episode I break down what really happened in the Hingham, Massachusetts real estate market in November – and what it means if you’re thinking about buying or selling on Boston’s South Shore.

Hingham is still very much a seller’s market. We’re sitting at just 1.68 months of inventory, which is tight by any standard and firmly favors sellers, even though that number has inched up from last month. Homes that do hit the market are not sitting long – the median days on market is only 13 days, so the good ones are get...

Pembroke stayed lean and fast in November. The Market Trends panel shows a clear seller-tilt: Months of Inventory at 1.19 (up slightly month-over-month but still scarce), Sold-to-List at 100.2%, Median Days in RPR at 12, and a Median Sold Price of $595,000. The Median Estimated Value across the zip sits around $677K, up ~4.8% year over year—evidence that equity remains resilient even as buyers get choosier. (See the Market Trends page and “Active/Sold Listings” charts for November.) 

On the ground, the MLS tells the same story in shar...

Scituate’s November single-family home market delivered another tight, value-driven month: 15 closed sales, median sale price $1,200,000, median days on market 25, and median days to offer 10. In plain terms, buyers acted quickly on accurately priced homes, and sellers who launched with smart pricing captured most of their ask. 

End-of-month supply was minimal—only two active single-family listings, with a midpoint around $1.225M—which helps stabilize pricing into early winter. But the price-change tape tells the story of discipline: 9 listings recorded 10 price changes, averaging -3.85% or about -$55,460. Overpricing is still getting corrected, and the market is efficiently sorting aspirat...

November’s numbers confirm it: Marshfield is still a textbook seller’s market. With less than one month of inventory—about 0.97 months on hand—well-priced homes are getting snapped up quickly and for strong prices. 

In this episode, I break down what that really means if you live, buy, or sell in Marshfield. We’ll start with inventory: only 7 single-family homes were active at the end of November, with an average list price just over $1.28M and a median asking price around $899,900.

November kept Duxbury squarely in a seller-leaning market, but the month also showed where buyers can press. Months of Inventory edged up to 2.48, a +12.4% rise from October—think roughly 2.21 last month—so selection improved a touch without tipping the balance. 

Market_Activity The market also rewarded tight pricing: the Sold-to-List Price ratio climbed to 101.8%, up 4.4% from October (about 97.6% then), confirming that clean, correctly priced homes still command at or over ask. Median Days in RPR rose to 13 (~10 in Oc...

Norwell tightened up in November—and the numbers make the case for precision. Months of Inventory slid to 2.25, squarely a seller’s market. Buyers wrote faster offers (median 5 days) but pushed back on price, pulling the sold-to-list ratio to 98.6%. The median sold price landed at $1.15M for the month. Meanwhile, the median estimated value ticked up to $1,101,780 (+1.5% MoM, +10.5% YoY). That’s demand with discipline: buyers will move fast for the right home, but they won’t chase fantasy pricing. 

On the listing s...

Market temperature: Still seller-tilted, not overheated. Months of inventory sits at 2.38 (up slightly month over month), which keeps leverage on well-priced listings. Homes are landing at 99.8% of list, and the median days in RPR is 16—fast enough to reward accurate pricing, not fantasy pricing. The median sold price printed at $695,000 in November, up from October. 

Active supply + pricing: End-of-month MLS snapshot shows 32 active single-family listings with a median list of $775,000 and average DOM ~28. The stack skews to $600K–$899K with...

In this episode, South Shore real estate agent Jim Aldred breaks down the real story behind HECM reverse mortgages—what they are, how they work, and who should seriously consider one versus who should stay away.

This episode dives into one of the most overlooked landmines in a real estate transaction: the open building permit attached to your property. We start by explaining, in plain language, what is an open permit on a house and how the permit process is supposed to work—from opening the permit, completing the work, scheduling the final inspection, and officially closing the permit with the town or city. When step three and four never happen, that unfinished paperwork follows the property, not the previous owner. 

You’ll hear why unresolved open permits can derail a home sale at th...
