There is a chart I want you to look at before we talk about anything else. It is the OECD Composite Consumer Confidence Index for the United States, sourced from the Federal Reserve’s FRED database. It tracks how Americans feel about the economy, their finances, and their prospects — going back to the early 1960s. […]
Kevin Warsh held his first press conference as Federal Reserve Chair this afternoon. Markets did not like what they heard. The Dow dropped over 500 points. The S&P fell more than 1%. Two-year Treasury yields jumped 16 basis points — the highest level in over a year. The dollar surged. Gold cratered. And if you […]
If you are buying or selling a luxury home in Boston or on Cape Cod, the most important decision you will make has nothing to do with the property itself. It is the decision about who you trust to guide you through it. That might sound like an obvious thing for a real estate firm […]

There is a major fight happening in real estate right now over Coming Soon listings, private exclusives, MLS rules, Zillow, Redfin, Compass, and who gets to control where listings appear first. On the surface, the argument sounds like it is about seller choice. Some brokerages and technology companies say sellers should be able to decide […]

It is not just a transaction on paper—it is the place where holidays happened, routines were built, and life unfolded in quiet, ordinary moments that somehow mean the most.

At the same time, a long, blustery winter in the Northeast didn’t just freeze the ground… it slowed people down. Showings were lighter. Buyers hesitated. […]
