- About 2 in 3 homes this year sold at or below the price the seller was asking. Ask what sellers of similar homes accepted before you write.
- Have your lender run your numbers before you tour, so you can write an offer when it's the one.
Every buyer we work with gets a lender who runs the numbers before every offer. You'll know your payment before you fall in love with a house.
What does this mean if you're selling in Salisbury MA?

Price is always your choice. Before you choose, I walk you through three facts, in this order. First, what sellers near you accepted lately, for how much, and why they chose that buyer. Second, every home for sale in your price range, so we know how yours can stand out. Third, the accurate similar sales from the last 30 days.
Why don't last spring's sales tell you your price today?
Because buyers' payments change when mortgage rates move. A sale from six months ago only helps you if it's adjusted for what your buyer can pay now.
That's why this page leans on the newest numbers, pulled October 16, 2026. Ask for the newest sales on your own street in Salisbury MA before you choose your price.
