Inventory remains tight here in Lynnfield, across the North Shore, and throughout the Greater Boston suburbs—a trend we’ve seen consistently over the past several years.
From January 1 to April 30, 2025, the average sale price was $1,123,724 with an average of $443 per square foot. In the same period in 2024, the average sale price was higher at $1,466,912, but the price per square foot was lower at $401. This suggests that while the homes sold so far in 2025 have been slightly smaller, sellers are getting more per square foot—great news for anyone considering a move.

Despite ongoing concerns around tariffs, stock market swings, and recession fears, real estate continues to prove itself as a stable, long-term investment.
The Bigger Picture
Even amid concerns over tariffs, stock market volatility, and recession fears, real estate continues to prove itself as a stable, long-term investment. According to Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist at the National Association of Realtors, homeowners remain in a strong position, with little risk of a housing crash—even if we see job cuts or economic slowing.
That being said, we have seen an uptick in inventory this spring throughout the North Shore. Homes that are selling over asking price tend to be those that are priced competitively, well-marketed, and in good condition. Strategic preparation and the right guidance can make all the difference in maximizing your outcome in today's market.

At this particular Lynnfield property, my buyer fell in love with a beautifully maintained custom home and had big plans for it. While we weren’t the highest offer, we came in with a clean cash offer and terms that made the process easy for the seller—which ultimately made all the difference.
We listened to what the seller needed and tailored our offer to meet those goals. Because of that, our bid was accepted and we were able to close in a record 10 days—a win for everyone involved!
My buyer was absolutely thrilled to make this home his own, and I’m so happy I could help make it happen. My mission is always to support my clients in strategically and successfully reaching their real estate goals.
