Overall Market Outlook

More homes are selling: 1,848 closed from July to September 2026, up 14% on a year earlier and the most for that quarter since 2022 (Redfin)
Values are still rising: Zillow shows home values up in all 23 towns over the past year, by 3.8% on average
Bidding wars are less common: 44% of homes sold above list price in the past year, down from 48% the year before (Redfin)
Homes now take about three days longer to sell than a year ago, so pricing right from the first day matters more

What Jessica's Clients Say

  • We used Jessica for the sale of our first home and the purchase of our second home. Jess was phenomenal when it came to navigating the ever changing market. For the purchase of our second home, she was incredible in negotiating not only the price but throughout the entire inspection process. We had an accepted offer without even having our house on the market, which is unprecedented in these real estate times. With interest rates rising, she guided us to trustworthy lenders and always answered any questions we had. It made this complicated process smooth and seamless. For the sale of our home, she was knowledgeable, strategic and professional. She had an incredible marketing strategy and team that guided us on the best way to prep our house to be put on the market. She didn't miss a single detail and our house sold extremely fast. We cannot recommend her enough for all your real estate needs.

  • Jessica was awesome to work with selling our house . Very professional and responsive. She staged the house so nicely (with real physical objects, not AI), nailed it with the pricing, got our house sold the first weekend on the market. Really great during negotiations, advocated strongly for us. Went above and beyond

  • If you are looking for responsive, kind, knowledgeable agent that can negotiate things you didn't even know were possible to negotiate, you need Jessica. We purchase our home in the middle of pandemic and in the middle of historically low inventory. Not only did Jessica find the most perfect home at well negotiated price, her broad knowledge of all things real-estate related including financing helped us save even more money. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

  • Jess is awesome! She is great to work with. Very knowledgeable every step of the way, including connecting with high quality, local professionals for renovation work. Highly recommend!

  • I would give Jess 10 stars if I could! As first time homebuyers, the process seemed SUPER daunting at first. After connecting with Jess, the home buying process was extremely easy for us. From day one, she has been kind, reassuring, and incredibly knowledgeable. If we had questions or didn't fully understand something within the process, Jess always took the time to explain things in a way that made sense. We went into every decision feeling informed and confident! Jess always made us feel like a priority- she was on top of every detail, super responsive/highly communicative, and she also cared that we got the right home for us. We are incredibly grateful for Jess with her support with buying our first home. SERIOUSLY, THE BEST REALTOR EVER!!

  • Very knowledgeable and experienced realtor. Great home buying experience.

  • Jessica was a tremendous help in buying our home! Especially as first time home buyers in this market, her expertise and advice helped us navigate an otherwise stressful process. Jessica helped us talk through each decision to make sure that we felt comfortable and knew exactly what we were doing, and ultimately ended up in a home that is perfect for us at this point in our lives! We will not hesitate to reach out to Jessica in the future!

  • My husband and I really can't say enough good things about Jessica. She was incredibly knowledgable about the home buying/home sale process, while also very understanding of our needs as buyers/sellers. After several months of searching, Jessica was able to help us secure an off-market home before it hit the market. She also helped us to get multiple offers for our home we were selling, and we ended up selling it for $80,000 over asking price. I would not hesitate to recommend Jessica as a realtor to anyone.

  • Jessica was very helpful and attentive during our home buying process. We found her to be very professional and easy to work with.
