The Spring Home Selling Window is Open But Not for Long Home buyers are still active and well-priced homes are continuing to sell quickly, especially with competition still relatively low right now. But the market is shifting. Interest rates are rising, and as more homes come on the market in the coming weeks, sellers will start to feel increased competition and a softening in demand. That’s why timing and pricing matter more than ever. The sellers who succeed in this market aren’t the ones chasing the market. They are the ones getting ahead of it by listing now and positioning their homes strategically from day one. At The Baker Team at Keller Williams in Greater Boston, we’re helping sellers take advantage of this window before it narrows. 📩 If you’ve been thinking about selling this spring, let’s connect before the opportunity passes. #GreaterBostonRealEstate #BostonHomes #HomeSellingTips #SpringMarket #KellerWilliams #TheBakerTeamMA

Massachusetts had introduced a new rule (830 CMR 62B.2.4), November 1, 2025, that affects certain residential real estate transactions. In simple terms, if you are not a Massachusetts resident and you sell property in the state for $1 million or more, a portion of your sale proceeds will be held back at closing. This process, called “withholding,” means the closing attorney or title company sends part of the money directly to the state as a prepayment toward any taxes you may owe. This also applies to Massachusetts residents selling a home and moving out of state. The amount withheld is generally around 4% or so of your share of the sale price or based on your estimated gain. It’s important to understand that this is not a new tax, but rather a way for Massachusetts to ensure taxes are collected upfront, particularly from out-of-state sellers. Massachusetts residents and certain entities may be exempt, though documentation is still required. #TheBakerTeamMA #RealEstateTips #NewtonMA #RealEstateUpdate

THE RISKS OF RELYING ON AI TO BUY OR SELL A HOME AI is a powerful tool and many buyers, sellers, and agents are already using it. But relying on AI alone in a real estate transaction can come with real risks. AI can pull comparable sales, flag potential liens, and analyze data. What it can’t do is evaluate a home’s true condition, understand location nuances, or uncover issues that aren’t publicly available. It won’t walk a property, speak with listing agents, or investigate the story behind the sale. Real estate transactions are rarely straightforward. From title complications to inspection negotiations, every deal has moving parts and often, unexpected challenges. AI may suggest a logical next step, but it lacks the context to understand timing, competition, or the broader strategy needed to keep a deal together. It also can’t pick up the phone, coordinate with lenders and attorneys, or guide clients through complex decisions in real time. And perhaps most importantly, it can’t provide the reassurance, judgment, and emotional support that clients need during one of the largest financial decisions of their lives. AI is a tool and not a substitute for experience, relationships, and advocacy.
