112. From Rocky Nook to Silver Lake: Kingston's July Sales, Neighborhood by Neighborhood

Kingston, Massachusetts closed out July 2026 as a textbook seller's market on paper, but the numbers underneath tell a much richer story than a single headline. In this episode of The Pink Door Podcast, I break down two months of hard MLS PIN and RPR market data covering Kingston's 02364 zip code to show sellers, buyers, and fellow South Shore agents exactly what happened to home values, inventory, and days on market this summer. Here's what the data shows: fifteen single-family homes sold in Kingston during July, with a median sale price of $626,500 and a median sale-to-list ratio of 100 percent, meaning Kingston sellers largely got what they asked for. Public records confirm a nearly identical town-wide median sold price of $600,000. But days on market told a more complicated story. Median days to offer was just 18, while average days on market ballooned to 64, pulled upward by two dramatic outliers: a landmark American Legion post that sat 233 days before selling as a residential rehab, and a Rocky Nook property with an accessory apartment that took 263 days to find its buyer. I unpack why well-priced, move-in-ready homes under $700,000, like 17 East Avenue and 35 Maple Street, sold in single digit to low teens days, while unique or challenging properties lingered for months regardless of the seller's market label. I also flag that nine of July's listings carried price reductions averaging nearly 3.75 percent, a signal that even in a seller's market, correct initial pricing still matters. I also cover Kingston's inventory squeeze: active listings sat at just four homes for the entire month, ranging from $664,000 to $1,585,000, with a median list price of $849,000, nearly $225,000 above the median sale price, showing how thin and luxury-skewed the active pool really was. Meanwhile, months of supply jumped 37.9 percent month over month even as median sold price fell 19 percent from June, a sign the red-hot spring market may be cooling into a more balanced late-summer rhythm. Twelve properties are currently pending, with a median list price of $612,450, suggesting the next wave of closings may trend more moderate than July's. I walk through new construction sales in Silver Lake and on Station Street, historic homes with ADU potential on Center Street, and waterfront-adjacent sales near Crossman's Pond and the Jones River. Whether you're a Kingston homeowner wondering what your house is worth today, or a buyer trying to time a move in a market with almost no active inventory, this episode gives you the real numbers behind the headlines, straight from MLS PIN and RPR market data for July 2026. I'm James Aldred with Pink Door Properties, powered by Keller Williams Signature Properties, helping buyers and sellers from Southie to Sagamore. #SouthShoreMAHomes #BostonSouthShoreRealEstate #SouthShoreRealtor #jimaldred #kwsignaturepropertiesma #sellingsouthietosagamore #southshorerealestate #pinkdoorproperties #pinkdoorpodcast #02364 #kingstonbrokerealestate #kingstonmarketupdate #RealEstatePodcast #MarketInsights Jim Aldred is a Realtor “Helping buyers and Sellers from Southie To Sagamore”; serving Boston's South Shore and can be contacted via his Links below. https://linktr.ee/SellingSouthieToSagamore www.KWMASS.com Email me at JimAldredRealtor@yahoo.com cell: 339-987-0382 PODCAST INTRO "Werq" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ PODCAST OUTRO LURKING SLOTH By: Alexander Nakarada

111. The Extinction of Plymouth Starter Homes

Every July, Plymouth's real estate market tells its own story, and this month's numbers are worth paying attention to whether you're buying, selling, or just tracking Massachusetts' South Shore housing market from the sidelines. In this episode I break down the complete July 2026 Plymouth, MA housing report, the full list of single-family homes sold in Plymouth 02360, to give you the real picture of what's happening from West Plymouth to Manomet, Cedarville, White Horse Beach, Chiltonville, North Plymouth, and The Pinehills. Plymouth stayed a firm seller's market in July 2026, with just 2.45 months of housing inventory and homes selling for 100.7% of list price on average. Ninety-two single-family homes closed in Plymouth this month alone, with a median sale price of $707,500 and a median of $385 per square foot, and RPR's public records data puts the town-wide median sold price even higher at $700,000, up 3.3% month over month. Homes priced right aren't sitting: median days on market for solds was just 23.5, with buyers going under agreement in a median of only 6.5 days, and RPR's own median days-on-market figure of 8 tells the same story. But not every listing is a success story, and that's the real lesson in this episode. Ten Plymouth single-family listings expired in July with an average of 105 days on market, more than four times longer than the homes that actually sold. I dig into why expired listings happen, how pricing and positioning, not "the market," is usually the real culprit, and what sellers can learn from the gap between homes that moved fast and homes that never moved at all. I also spotlight July's standout sales: oceanfront and pond-front trophy properties like 135 Stage Point Road, which sold at full ask for $2,595,000, and 9 Eagle Hill Drive on Great Herring Pond at $1,350,000, alongside new-construction Pinehills homes that blew past asking price entirely, with one selling for 124% of list. I walk through active listing trends too: 48 homes currently on the market with a median list price of $797,000, and exactly where price reductions are showing up most, hint, it's concentrated in the luxury tier above $1.5 million, where cuts averaged nearly 8 to 10 percent, even as the median estimated property value for 02360 climbed 1.7% over the past twelve months to $683,130. Whether you're house hunting in Plymouth, MA, thinking about listing your South Plymouth or Manomet home, or you just want a clear-eyed read on Plymouth County real estate trends for summer 2026, this episode gives you the data, the context, and the neighborhood-level detail that generic market reports skip. As always, I'm bringing you the numbers the way a South Shore Realtor actually reads them, plus what they mean for your next move, whether that's Southie to Sagamore or right here in America's Hometown. #SouthShoreMAHomes #BostonSouthShoreRealEstate #SouthShoreRealtor #jimaldred #kwsignaturepropertiesma #sellingsouthietosagamore #southshorerealestate #pinkdoorproperties #pinkdoorpodcast #02360 #plymouthbrokerealestate #plymouthmarketupdate #RealEstatePodcast #MarketInsights Jim Aldred is a Realtor “Helping buyers and Sellers from Southie To Sagamore”; serving Boston's South Shore and can be contacted via his Links below. https://linktr.ee/SellingSouthieToSagamore www.KWMASS.com Email me at JimAldredRealtor@yahoo.com cell: 339-987-0382 PODCAST INTRO "Werq" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ PODCAST OUTRO LURKING SLOTH By: Alexander Nakarada

110. Hingham's 7-Day Turnaround: Inside July's Lightning-Fast Market

Welcome back to the pink Door Podcast, where we break down real estate data across Boston's South Shore, this episode covers the Hingham, MA 02043 single-family housing market for July 2026 — inventory, pricing, days on market, and what it means for buyers and sellers in Plymouth County. Hingham remains firmly in seller's market territory, though conditions eased slightly from June. Months of inventory sit at 2.83, up 11.4% year-over-year but down nearly 15% from last month, and the market-wide sold-to-list price ratio held strong at 100.5%. Speed is the headline story this month: median days in RPR dropped to just 7 days, a dramatic 75% jump month-over-month in market velocity, meaning well-priced Hingham homes are moving faster than almost any point in recent memory. On the MLS side, we tracked 24 single-family sales in July with a median sale price of $1,427,500 and an average sale price of $1,574,875. Homes sold at 101% of list price on average and 100% of original list price, with a median of just 19.5 days on market and 7.5 days to offer — proof that accurately priced Hingham listings are attracting immediate, competitive buyer attention. Sale prices ranged from $671,500 for a 1800-built colonial on Fort Hill to $3,000,000 for a fully renovated 1913 estate on Middle Street. Active inventory stayed tight at just 11 single-family listings, with a median list price of $1,750,000 and prices ranging from $849,000 up to $3,850,000. Total active market volume came in at $22.6 million. Meanwhile, the pending pipeline is robust — 24 properties under agreement worth over $45 million in combined volume, with a median list price of $1,687,500, signaling continued strong demand heading into August closings. Price reductions were notable this month: 16 listings saw price changes, averaging a 6.5% cut, most concentrated in the $1.5M-$4M and luxury $5M+ segments, suggesting some softening at the top of the market even as mid-range homes fly off the shelf. Three listings expired in July with a median price of $2,090,000, reinforcing that overpricing — especially above $2 million — remains the biggest risk to a smooth sale. Standout July closings included the historic Cushing Tavern (circa 1746) with eight fireplaces on Main Street, a stunning Crow Point property with panoramic Hingham Harbor views on Talbot Road, and multiple Hingham Center antiques blending 18th and 19th century character with modern updates. Whether you're selling a classic New England antique or searching for your next home in Hingham Center, Crow Point, South Hingham, or Liberty Pole, this episode gives you the real numbers behind July's activity. #SouthShoreMAHomes #BostonSouthShoreRealEstate #SouthShoreRealtor #jimaldred #kwsignaturepropertiesma #sellingsouthietosagamore #southshorerealestate #pinkdoorproperties #pinkdoorpodcast #02043 #hinghambrokerealestate #hinghammarketupdate #RealEstatePodcast Jim Aldred is a Realtor “Helping buyers and Sellers from Southie To Sagamore”; serving Boston's South Shore and can be contacted via his Links below. https://linktr.ee/SellingSouthieToSagamore www.KWMASS.com Email me at JimAldredRealtor@yahoo.com cell: 339-987-0382 PODCAST INTRO "Werq" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ PODCAST OUTRO LURKING SLOTH By: Alexander Nakarada

109. Coastal Colonials & Cul-de-Sacs: Duxbury's Priciest June Closings

Welcome back to The Pink Door Podcast, I'm Jim Aldred. This episode breaks down everything that happened in the Duxbury, MA 02332 housing market in June 2026, straight from MLS PIN and RPR data, so buyers, sellers, and fellow agents from Southie to Sagamore know exactly what's happening on the ground. June 2026 was a firmly seller's market in Duxbury. Months of supply sat at just 2.06, down 7.2% from May and a stunning 39.4% lower than a year ago — meaning inventory is drying up fast. Only 11 single-family homes were active at month's end, with a median list price of $1,750,000, up 25.3% month over month. If you're wondering how competitive the Duxbury real estate market is right now, this is your answer. Twenty-five single-family homes sold in Duxbury in June, totaling more than $35.7 million in closed volume. The median sold price hit $1,216,500 — up nearly 11% from May — and homes that sold went for an average of 102% of list price, with a median of just 5 days on market according to RPR. Average days on market across MLS PIN's June sold data came in at 38, with an average of only 21 days to offer, proof that well-priced Duxbury homes are moving quickly in this market. Maybe the most telling stat of the month: zero expired listings in Duxbury in June. Not one home failed to sell or find a buyer. That's an extraordinary signal for anyone asking, "is now a good time to sell my house in Duxbury MA?" Pending sales tell the same story — 18 homes under agreement with a median list price of $1,272,500, representing over $33 million in pipeline volume heading into July. I'll walk through standout closings, from a three-year-old 15 Cushing Drive colonial with a heated saltwater pool that closed at $2.75 million, to 17 Winsor Street's coastal Duxbury Village estate at $2.8 million, and 65 Myles View Drive — a reminder that overpricing still costs you time, with that Standish Shore colonial taking 296 days to sell after a price correction. I'll also cover the caution flag: 14 Duxbury listings still needed price cuts in June, averaging 5.55%, proof that accurate pricing still matters even when inventory is this tight. Whether you're a Duxbury homeowner wondering what your house is worth today, a buyer trying to compete in a low-inventory Massachusetts coastal market, or you're relocating to the South Shore and researching Duxbury MA home prices, schools, and neighborhoods, this episode gives you the real numbers behind the headlines. I'm James Aldred, Realtor, with Pink Door Properties powered by Keller Williams Signature Properties in Norwell.

107. THE MYLES STANDISH LEGS-WHERE HAVE THEY BEEN?

A dedication and cornerstone-laying ceremony attended by 10,000 people took place on October 7, 1872. The monument was not completed until 1898. The monument was built on Captain's Hill, the highest point, 200 feet above sea level, on what was once Standish's farm. The monument rises 116 feet from its foundation to a small viewing parapet that offers panoramic views over the original Plymouth Colony. The 14-foot statue that surmounts the tower has Standish gazing eastward across Massachusetts Bay and holding the colony's charter. #mylesstandish #duxburyma #mayflowerdecendants #pinkdoorpodcast #jimaldred #pinkdoorproperties #kwsignaturepropertiesma #sellingsouthietosagamore #mylestandishmonument #plymouthcounty Jim Aldred is a Realtor “Helping buyers and Sellers from Southie To Sagamore”; serving Boston's South Shore and can be contacted via his Links below. https://linktr.ee/SellingSouthieToSagamore www.KWMASS.com Email me at JimAldredRealtor@yahoo.com cell: 339-987-0382 PODCAST INTRO "Werq" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ PODCAST OUTRO LURKING SLOTH By: Alexander Nakarada

106. Silver Lake to School Street: Inside Pembroke MA's Explosive May 2026 Real Estate Market

If you've been watching the South Shore real estate market and wondering where the action is this spring, let me tell you — Pembroke just had one of its strongest months in recent memory. On this episode of the CityPointJim podcast, I'm breaking down the May 2026 real estate market for Pembroke, Massachusetts, and the numbers are telling a very clear story. Let's start with the headline stat: the sold-to-list price ratio in Pembroke for May 2026 hit 103.1%. That means buyers in Pembroke aren't just meeting sellers at asking price — they're going over it. Consistently. The median sold price came in at $775,000, up 9.15% from April, and the RPR median estimated property value for the 02359 zip code now stands at $703,000 — up 8.6% year over year. If you own a home in Pembroke, your equity position right now is strong and trending in the right direction. Eight single-family homes closed in May, with a median sale price of $892,500 and an average of $865,000. Three of those transactions crossed the million-dollar mark. 627 School Street listed at $800,000 and sold for $865,000 — 108% of asking in just 6 days. 50 Christina Marie Drive listed at $950,000 and sold for $1,050,000 — that's 110% of list, under agreement in 5 days. 64 Copperwood Road listed at $949,000 and closed at $1,041,000. These aren't outliers; this is what a deep seller's market looks like when inventory is this constrained. Months of supply in Pembroke came in at just 1.14 — the lowest threshold of seller's market territory. Yes, that number doubled year over year, but context matters: a year ago it was below 0.6. At 1.14, there is still nowhere near enough supply to meet buyer demand. With only 4 active listings at month's end and 11 homes under agreement heading into June, the pipeline heading into summer is healthy. The median days to offer was just 6.5 across the 8 sales, and the median days on market was 20 — pulled up by one notable outlier: 290 School Street sat on the market for 223 days before finally closing at $920,000, down from an original list price of $1.1 million. That one property is a textbook example of what happens when pricing misses the market from the start. Every other sale in May? Under agreement within weeks. Zero expired listings in May. None. In a market where sellers price correctly and present their homes well, buyers are showing up and paying premium prices. If you're a Pembroke homeowner who has been thinking about selling, this is the environment you've been waiting for. Pembroke continues to offer incredible value on the South Shore — great schools, Silver Lake, the commuter rail, easy Route 3 access, and a real community feel that buyers are willing to compete for. I'm Jim Aldred with Pink Door Properties, helping buyers and sellers from Southie to Sagamore. Let's talk Pembroke. #SouthShoreMAHomes #BostonSouthShoreRealEstate #SouthShoreRealtor #jimaldred #kwsignaturepropertiesma #sellingsouthietosagamore #southshorerealestate #pinkdoorproperties #pinkdoorpodcast #02359 #pembrokebrokerealestate #pembrokemarketupdate #RealEstatePodcast #MarketInsights Jim Aldred is a Realtor “Helping buyers and Sellers from Southie To Sagamore”; serving Boston's South Shore and can be contacted via his Links below. https://linktr.ee/SellingSouthieToSagamore www.KWMASS.com Email me at JimAldredRealtor@yahoo.com cell: 339-987-0382 PODCAST INTRO "Werq" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ PODCAST OUTRO LURKING SLOTH By: Alexander Nakarada

105. Is Kingston MA Still a Good Place to Buy a Home in 2026? The Numbers Decide

Spring is in full swing on the South Shore, and Kingston, MA just delivered another month of real data worth talking about. On this episode of the Pink Door Podcast, we're breaking down the May 2026 real estate market for Kingston — what sold, what didn't, what buyers are paying, and what sellers need to know heading into summer. Let's get right to the numbers. The median sold price in Kingston for May 2026 came in at $725,000, up another 3.35% from April, and the RPR median estimated property value for the zip code now sits at $737,550 — up 7.2% over the past twelve months. For homeowners watching their equity grow, that's a meaningful number, and it's been a consistent upward trend across the 02364 zip code throughout 2026. Nine single-family homes closed in May, but the story behind those sales is what makes this month interesting. Strip out the investor rehab flip at 105R Main Street — which sold for $210,000 as a vacant fixer-upper — and the remaining eight homes closed with a median right around $736,000. Several transactions punched above list price: 23 Bog View Road listed at $995,000 and sold at $1,050,000, coming in at 106% of asking. 35 Grove Street listed at $530,000 and closed at $550,000 — 104%. 5 Starling Ave asked $695,000 and sold for $730,000, landing at 105%. In Kingston's core price range, motivated buyers are still competing. Median days on market came in at 17 per the MLS, with the median days to offer at just 6. That's the metric that tells the real story — well-presented, correctly priced homes in Kingston are going under agreement in less than a week. The pipeline confirms demand: 13 properties were under agreement at month's end, with a median pending list price of $710,000 and a wide range from $299,900 all the way up to $1,950,000. Inventory remains the defining constraint on this market. Only 4 active listings remained at month's end — that's not a typo. Months of supply dropped to 1.36, down 25% from April and a staggering 40% below where it stood a year ago. That year-over-year compression is significant and suggests structural inventory tightness, not just seasonal fluctuation. On the seller caution side: six listings took price reductions during May, averaging cuts of about 5.9%. And one property expired after 201 days on market at $749,999 — a reminder that even in a tight market, price discipline and presentation matter. Buyers haven't abandoned their judgment. Kingston continues to be one of the most compelling value propositions on the South Shore — strong schools, Route 3 access, the commuter rail, proximity to Plymouth beaches, and home prices that are still competitive compared to towns further north. If you're thinking about selling in Kingston this summer, the conditions are as favorable as they've been. If you're buying, you need a plan and you need to be ready to move fast. I'm Jim Aldred with Pink Door Properties, Keller Williams Signature Properties — helping buyers and sellers from Southie to Sagamore.

104. The Summer Setup: Marshfield MA Real Estate Market Breakdown for May 2026

If you've been asking "what is the Marshfield MA housing market doing right now," "are homes still selling over asking price on the South Shore," or "is it a good time to sell a home in Marshfield Massachusetts," this episode is built for you. On this month's CityPoint Jim market breakdown, we're pulling apart the May 2026 numbers to answer exactly those questions — and the data tells a more nuanced story than the headline suggests. Here's the short version: Marshfield is still a seller's market. Homes are still selling over asking. But the sprint of April has settled into a jog, and the sellers who don't understand that shift are already paying for it. The median sold price held steady at $850,000 — flat with April — while the overall sale-to-list ratio came in at 101.2%, still over ask but down a fraction from April's 102%. Median days on market doubled, from 6 in April to 13 in May. That's not a collapse — that's a market pausing to breathe. Buyers who were outbid in March and April are now getting a bit more time to think, and sellers who missed the absolute peak of the spring frenzy are facing a more selective audience. The MLS data fills in the story. Fourteen single-family homes closed in May with an average sale price of $792,536 against an average list of $779,043 — a 102% sale-to-list ratio across all tiers. Every bracket from $500K to $1.5M saw buyers paying at or above ask. Not a single listing expired in May. Zero. That's the kind of market statistic that should make every Marshfield homeowner sit up straight. But here's what tells the real story heading into summer: the pending pipeline. Thirty homes went under agreement in May — 30 — with a total pending market volume approaching $31 million and an average of just 11 days from list to offer. The $700K–$899K and $1M–$1.5M ranges each had strong pending clusters, pointing toward a very active June close season. That pipeline is your preview of what this market looks like on the other side. Price reductions are the signal to watch. Seventeen active listings took cuts in May, averaging nearly $56,000 per reduction. The luxury tier — particularly listings originally priced at $1.5M and above — saw the steepest adjustments. This is where buyers searching "is it a buyer's market in Marshfield 2026" or "are home prices dropping on the South Shore" will find the most honest answer: not broadly, but in overpriced segments, yes. Active inventory grew modestly to 12 homes at month's end, with a median ask of $920,000 and the highest listed at $1.3M. Months of supply ticked up to 2.14 — still firmly in seller's market territory, but the highest we've seen since this series began. Coastal lifestyle homes — Humarock, Rexhame, Green Harbor — continued to command lifestyle premiums, with multiple properties trading well above $700 per square foot. What does May 2026 tell us about buying or selling a home in Marshfield this summer? It tells us the market is maturing, not retreating. If you're a seller, correct pricing is now the difference between a fast sale at over ask and a price reduction. If you're a buyer, you have slightly more time — but not much. #SouthShoreMAHomes #BostonSouthShoreRealEstate #SouthShoreRealtor #jimaldred #kwsignaturepropertiesma #sellingsouthietosagamore #southshorerealestate #pinkdoorproperties #pinkdoorpodcast #02050 #marshfieldbrokerealestate #marshfieldmarketupdate #RealEstatePodcast #MarketInsights Jim Aldred is a Realtor “Helping buyers and Sellers from Southie To Sagamore”; serving Boston's South Shore and can be contacted via his Links below. https://linktr.ee/SellingSouthieToSagamore www.KWMASS.com Email me at JimAldredRealtor@yahoo.com cell: 339-987-0382 PODCAST INTRO "Werq" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ PODCAST OUTRO LURKING SLOTH By: Alexander Nakarada

103. Summer Is Coming In Hot: Plymouth Massachusetts Housing Market May 2026 Breakdown

Hey everyone, welcome back. I'm Jim Aldred with Pink Door Properties, helping buyers and sellers from Southie to Sagamore — and today we're unpacking the Plymouth Massachusetts real estate market for May 2026. This is the episode you need if you're searching for Plymouth MA home sales data, South Shore housing market trends, or trying to figure out what homes are actually selling for right now on the South Shore. Let's start with the number that stopped me cold: median days in RPR hit just 8 days in May. Eight. That's down nearly 58% from April and it's the fastest absorption rate we've seen in this three-month spring run. Buyers in the Plymouth MA housing market right now are not browsing — they're deciding. If you're a seller asking "is it a good time to sell a home in Plymouth Massachusetts," the answer is sitting right there in that number. 49 single-family homes closed in May. The median sale price landed at $675,000, with an average closing price of $741,878, and the overall sale-to-list ratio held at 101% — meaning Plymouth home buyers are still paying over asking price on average. Median days to offer was just 7 days. Well-priced homes in Plymouth are not lasting a week. The price band action was broad-based. The $500K–$700K range dominated volume, with 10 closings in the $600K–$699K band averaging 102% of list. The $700K–$799K segment saw 11 closings also averaging 102%. And the $1M–$1.5M range posted seven closings at a 97% SP:LP ratio — still strong for the luxury Plymouth real estate segment. Standout sales included 265 Manomet Point Road at $1,425,000 — sold at full list — and a 1902 downtown Plymouth colonial at 9 Sever Street that closed at $1,450,000. Coastal and beach community properties were a major story this month. Homes near White Horse Beach Plymouth, Manomet Beach, Priscilla Beach, and the Indian Brook Association all traded competitively, some well over asking. If you're looking for Plymouth MA beach house real estate or waterfront homes on the South Shore, May confirmed that coastal demand is not cooling. The pipeline heading into summer is the strongest we've seen. 82 properties are currently under agreement in Plymouth — the largest pending count of the spring — with a median pending list price of $729,000 and average volume approaching $77 million. June closings are going to be significant. Inventory is building slowly. 57 active listings with a median list of $825,000 and 2.39 months of supply — still firmly a seller's market for Plymouth MA real estate. But the 10 expired listings, averaging 126 days on market and a median list of $1,012,000, are your warning label: price it wrong and Plymouth will let it sit. The bottom line for anyone searching for Plymouth Massachusetts real estate market updates: May 2026 delivered fast sales, above-asking prices, a monster pending pipeline, and active coastal demand. Summer is going to be loud.#SouthShoreMAHomes #BostonSouthShoreRealEstate #SouthShoreRealtor #jimaldred #PinehillsPlymouth #RedbrookPlymouth #kwsignaturepropertiesma #sellingsouthietosagamore #southshorerealestate #pinkdoorproperties #pinkdoorpodcast #02360 #plymouthbrokerealestate #plymouthmarketupdate #RealEstatePodcast #MarketInsights Jim Aldred is a Realtor “Helping buyers and Sellers from Southie To Sagamore”; serving Boston's South Shore and can be contacted via his Links below. https://linktr.ee/SellingSouthieToSagamore www.KWMASS.com Email me at JimAldredRealtor@yahoo.com cell: 339-987-0382 PODCAST INTRO "Werq" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ PODCAST OUTRO LURKING SLOTH By: Alexander Nakarada
