Free CMA

What Is a Comparative Market Analysis — and Why Does It Matter?

The CMA is the single most important document in selling your home. It tells you exactly what buyers will pay for your property right now — based on real, verified sales data from the Massachusetts MLS.

Pricing too high keeps buyers away and leads to price reductions. Pricing too low leaves thousands on the table. Our free CMA eliminates the guesswork entirely.

A quality CMA compares 5–10 similar homes sold in the past 3–6 months within your specific neighborhood. Your Colonial Realty agent visits your home in person to assess features that online tools can't capture — condition, updates, light, and layout.

What Your CMA Includes

Delivered in person or digitally within 48 hours of your consultation.

Active Listing Competition

What's currently for sale nearby — your direct competition. Critical for setting a price that stands out to buyers.

Normalized comparison across your neighborhood to ensure size and features are appropriately weighted.

Days-on-Market Trend

Seller Preparation Checklist

Before your first agent meeting, gather as much of this as you can:

  • Property deed and current ownership documents
  • Most recent property tax bill
  • HOA documents and rules (if applicable)
  • List of recent renovations with dates and costs
  • Current mortgage payoff amount
  • Any known property condition issues
  • Lead paint disclosure records (pre-1978 homes)
  • Private septic system documentation (if applicable)
  • Utility bills (average monthly costs)
Massachusetts Seller Disclosure: MA is a "buyer beware" state — sellers are not required to disclose all property conditions by law, but completing the Seller's Statement of Property Condition (SSPC) is standard practice and protects you legally. Your agent will guide you through this.

Seller Questions

Selling FAQs

Common questions from Massachusetts homeowners preparing to sell — answered honestly.

Ask a Sales Professional
How much does it cost to sell my home in Massachusetts?
The average real estate commission in Massachusetts is 5.39% of the sale price (as of September 2025 survey data), split between the listing agent and the buyer's agent. On a $688,000 home (June 2026 median), that's approximately $37,100 total. Since the 2024 NAR settlement, buyers now negotiate their agent's fee separately — ask your Colonial Realty agent how this affects your net proceeds in today's market. Additional closing costs for sellers typically include attorney fees ($1,000–$2,500), title search, and state transfer taxes.
How long will it take to sell my Massachusetts home?
The June 2026 median days on market in Massachusetts is just 21 days — the fastest pace in years. From accepted offer to closing typically takes an additional 30–45 days for financing, inspection, and paperwork. Total timeline from listing to closing: roughly 7–10 weeks. Properly priced homes in Greater Boston and Worcester are often under agreement within the first week on market.
Is now a good time to sell in Massachusetts?
Yes — Massachusetts is in a moderate seller's market as of June 2026. Sale-to-list ratio is 101%, median days on market is 21 days, and new listings are up 53% above rolling averages — indicating buyers are active. With 44.5% of homes selling above asking price statewide, well-priced properties are generating competitive offers. The best months to sell for maximum price are May through July — if you're considering selling soon, starting the process now is ideal.
What disclosures do Massachusetts sellers have to make?
Massachusetts is legally a "buyer beware" state, meaning sellers are not required by state law to proactively disclose all property conditions. However, two disclosures are legally required: (1) Lead Paint Disclosure for homes built before 1978, and (2) Private Septic System Disclosure. While not legally required, completing the Seller's Statement of Property Condition (SSPC) is standard industry practice and strongly advisable — it protects you from future legal claims about undisclosed issues.
Should I renovate or stage before listing?
In today's competitive Massachusetts market, minor improvements often yield the highest ROI. Fresh paint, decluttering, and professional cleaning are always worthwhile. Kitchen and bathroom updates can add significant value but require careful cost-benefit analysis based on your specific home and neighborhood. Full staging is recommended for vacant homes. Your Colonial Realty agent will advise which improvements make financial sense for your specific property before you spend a dollar on pre-listing work.
What is the difference between listing price and sale price in Massachusetts?
The listing price is what you ask; the sale price is what buyers actually pay. In Massachusetts as of June 2026, the median listing price is $718,900 while the median sale price is $688,100 — meaning homes sell for about 95.7% of list on average. However, the sale-to-list ratio is 101%, meaning that when you look at individual sales, homes are closing above their original asking price. The gap exists because some listings are reduced before selling. Strategic pricing by your Colonial Realty agent minimizes price reductions and maximizes your final sale price.
