“I can't thank Emiel enough for helping me purchase not only my first home, but also my first investment property! From our very first phone call, he helped ease my nerves about the overwhelming homebuying process. He was knowledgeable, patient, responsive, and kept me informed every step of the way. Beyond helping me find my home, he took the time to educate me on becoming a landlord and connected me with valuable resources. He also coordinated so much of the behind-the-scenes work, making the entire experience much less stressful. I'm so glad I put my trust in Emiel! Thank you so much for helping me become a homeowner and take the first step toward building generational wealth. I couldn't have asked for a better realtor!!! I highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home or invest in real estate, and I look forward to working with him again in the future!”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Year over year in Cambridge, home values have pushed higher while listing prices have softened. The typical home value in the latest rolling three-month period is up about 9 percent from a year ago, even as the median list price has dropped roughly 14 percent. Homes sold are also up about 17 percent compared with the same period last year, pointing to stronger closed-sale activity.
Looking at the most recent rolling three months through September 2026, buyers are seeing more choices than a year ago but slightly fewer than in early summer. Active listings are up about 9 percent year over year, with roughly 490 homes on the market and about 4.1 months of supply, a modest increase from last year that still aligns with a seller-leaning environment. At the same time, the share of homes selling above list has dipped slightly to 38 percent, while the average sale-to-list ratio remains just under 102 percent, showing that many properties still command full price or better.
Momentum has cooled somewhat from the very busy spring period, with new listings and pending sales both down sharply from mid-2026 levels in this rolling view. Homes are taking a bit longer to sell than last year, with the median days on market edging up to 28 days. With these mixed signals of rising values, more inventory, and shifting pace, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an experienced Cambridge agent to navigate the current market.
Learn more about what Cambridge has to offer.
Cambridge offers residents a dynamic blend of world-class universities, a thriving innovation scene, diverse neighborhoods, vibrant cultural life, abundant green spaces, and a walkable, bike-friendly environment that supports connection and community.
Cambridge stands apart from nearby Boston and Somerville with its blend of global ideas and everyday neighborhood life. Anchored by Harvard University and MIT, the city attracts researchers, artists, and entrepreneurs, yet still feels like a collection of distinct squares where regulars know their local barista and bookstore owner.
Residents move fluidly between tree lined side streets and cultural destinations like the Harvard Art Museums and MIT Museum. Outdoor space is central to daily life, from jogging along the Charles River Reservation to picnics in Danehy Park. Dining can mean a casual stop in Central Square or a special night out in Harvard Square, with cuisines that reflect the city’s wide ranging cultures.
For commuters, multiple MBTA Red Line stops and extensive bike infrastructure create options that influence which neighborhood feels right. Housing ranges from historic triple deckers and classic brick buildings to new construction near Kendall Square’s tech hub, each carrying different trade offs in space, price, and convenience.
In a market this dynamic, timing and preparation matter. Whether you are a longtime resident weighing a sale or planning a move into Cambridge, the right local agent can help you read shifting conditions, position your offer or listing strategically, and act when opportunity appears.

“Nichole was fantastic! She’s honest, knowledgeable, efficient, and she tirelessly worked for us throughout the entire process from listing the house and culminating in the final sale/closing. She went above and beyond to address every issue that came up regarding the sale of the house. She made my family feel very comfortable throughout the process. Nichole reflects great credit on Century 21, and I give her my highest possible recommendation!”
“We couldn’t recommend Theo more! He’s incredibly nice, friendly, and easy to get along with. We always felt comfortable asking questions, and he was consistently quick to respond and incredibly knowledgeable throughout the process. You can tell he genuinely cares, and you know you’re in good hands with him. We’re so glad we had Theo as our realtor!”
“I genuinely could not have had a better house buying experience than I did working with Kaitlin. She went above and beyond across the board. She was extremely responsive and was more than happy to truly understand my situation and goals, as well as to explore locations that may have been a bit further from her normal ones. She approached each visit and listing with enthusiasm and offered helpful advice along the way. I never once thought she was simply telling me what I wanted to hear - she was honest, forthcoming, and always available to talk through all my questions or concerns (or even nerves) as a first time buyer. From when my offer was accepted to the final closing date, there were a lot of hurdles, delays, and winding roads due to other external factors. Kaitlin was able to navigate those with the utmost professionalism to make the process a success, even when it seemed like the cards were really stacked against us. I simply would not have been able to close on this house without her. She was an absolute rockstar the entire time and she always had my back and helped me truly understand all the inner workings while not overwhelming me with too many details. I am so impressed, and am extremely grateful that I worked with her, as well as the wonderful contacts she recommended for other aspects of the close. She was supportive and extremely knowledgeable, and was always able to exude confidence and poise throughout the entire process. She truly cares about her work, her clients, and their wants / needs. I always knew she was in my corner. This post does not come close to doing her justice, but I could not give her a higher recommendation. Whenever I am back in the market, she will be the first person I reach out to. Thank you Kaitlin for all you do - anyone is lucky to work with you!”
“Review Of David Nicholaou REMAX Reality and the value of working with him when buying or selling a home David has worked with me to first sell my house in Westford MA. The timing of putting it on the market in Mid - July coincided with our family trip to Italy. If I would have waited, I would have missed the peak summer market, I trusted Davids plan so we moved on to list, it. While in Italy, we kept in touch through cell phone, texting and email I received 2 offers, Dave presented them, by phone and email since I was not in the states. Both offers were the same amount of money, but he told me why one was better, stronger than the other. So, I took the advice of the stronger offer, and everything went well we closed without any issues. David was constantly keeping me up to date with everything and sending the documents in Italy. We met up when I returned from Italy and finished the sale After a few months my daughter was in the position to buy her first house. She picked David as she saw how easy it had been for me to sell the house, (because I listened to his advice) ,she was free to look for anything in her price range. David suggested things pro and con about all the houses she looked at. In the end she found the perfect house in Groton where she still lives. She told me working with David was easy and there were no surprises. She was very nervous as it was her first house and she didn’t want to make any misstates. She did not and is so glad I had David to let her use to buy her first house.. The second house he helped me sell was a farm in Barre MA who I had bought with my sister, and she decided to leave back to Wisconsin in the middle of an expensive rehab. I had to sell a 17-acre farm, I called Dave back to help me sell this property. We both knew little of valuing this farm, but he worked hard with me and several different web sites including a horse farm site that we thought may bring other offers rather than just MLS. I also had the property appraised to get a better idea of its value. The appraisal was Dave’s idea. – and good one. After 2 weeks on the market, we got an offer and we took it. This time the economy was depressed (Summer 2026) but I had to move, and it was a good offer considering how depressed the economy of Barre was. Houses were just not selling in that area. So, I consider myself lucky to have had Dave and his strong experience guiding me. That is your typical realtor story, but what really shines about Dave is the prep that goes into the house before it is ever listed. He can see issues that can come up at the open houses, or closing, what simple fixes the owner can do to prevent questions coming up with people that come look at your open house to haunt you. Things like how to clean your house, what to do with extra clutter, the yard, garage, basement things the owner over looks – I know I did. When you listen to him the. property shines and offers come in which is the whole reason to have a realtor in the first place. Dave also helped me buy my current home before I listed the Barre property. He advised me to choose a new home first, before listing, and I’m glad I did because I didn’t have to divide my time between house hunting and selling. He explained that waiting to search until after accepting an offer would not be practical. I followed his advice, and the process went smoothly. Dave clearly explains what to expect, stays organized, and double-checks both his work and others to catch issues before they become major problems. He also works with an excellent team, including a highly capable lawyer. Consider having Dave represent you the next time you buy or sell a property. Sincerely, Kassandra Harwood, happy new homeo”
“Tyler is a real estate professional, he is very responsive and thoughtful. He showed us many properties and was patient with our search process. Most importantly, he brought to our attention the property we did eventually purchas, because he understood our new home criteria and style.”
“Rick was an absolute pleasure to work with. He helped me with both selling my house and finding a new condo. He was very knowledgeable about everything and was very helpful when it came to selling both the house and condo. If I had any questions, he was always there via text or phone call. He treats you as if your family and I was extremely grateful for all his help and guidance in both the selling and finding of a new place. I knew when I was working with him I had complete trust in everything he did. I would highly recommend him to anybody looking to sell or buy a new place. I was very extremely happy with both outcomes and it was all because of Rick. Buying and selling at the same time can be incredibly stressful, but Rick made the entire process feel manageable. He was responsive, honest, knowledgeable, and always willing to explain what was happening and what I needed to do next. He If I ever have to sell or buy again I would definitely use him again.”
“Thanks to Chris Johnson and the YPC Team I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to Chris Johnson and his incredible team at YPC for helping my father and me navigate what could have been an overwhelming process during a difficult time. Our families have shared a longstanding connection over the years, which made this experience even more meaningful. However, it was Chris’s professionalism, direct communication, dedication, and swift action that truly made the difference in bringing our homeownership journey to life. My father, a proud veteran and I had spent approximately 6–12 months struggling to secure the appropriate pre-approval needed to purchase our family home. After experiencing delays and a lack of clear, personalized communication throughout the process, we were understandably discouraged. That all changed when Chris and his team stepped in. From the moment we connected in mid-September, Chris moved with an impressive sense of urgency and purpose. Through his network and coordination with a connected lender and the VA, we secured a pre-approval that exceeded our expectations. What once felt like a distant possibility quickly became a reality. From submitting our offer to closing on our fully renovated, four-bedroom, two-bathroom single-family home in Brockton, Massachusetts, the entire process was completed in just 24 days! I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge that the experience came with some stress, as any major life decision can. However, Chris and his team remained responsive, answered my questions in real time, and clearly communicated what was needed at each stage to keep everything moving forward. Knowing what to expect and having a team that was willing to guide us through every step made all the difference. Hearing those words, _“clear to close,”_ was truly a moment we will never forget\! Mr. Johnson, thank you for your outstanding work, your commitment, and your ability to turn a challenging situation into such a positive outcome for our family. You and your entire team and professional network are truly exceptional. Your work speaks volumes about your talent, dedication, and understanding of what it takes to get the job done. You have always had my trust, the gratitude, and my highest recommendation. YPC will forever be my first choice when referring friends, family, and colleagues. Experiences like ours are a powerful reminder that having the right professionals in your corner can make all the difference in the world. Thank you for helping make this milestone possible for my father and our family. This is more than a home purchase; it is a meaningful accomplishment for our family, and a memory we will cherish for years to come. May God continue to bless you, your team, and the work you do for others. You undoubtedly have a gift, Chris, and I hope you continue to use it to make a difference in the lives of many more families. With heartfelt appreciation and gratitude, The Williams Family”
“You should definitely use Chris as your realtor. I've been through the house buying process 3 times and this is the first time I've worked with Chris -- he came highly recommended. I won't work with anyone else in the future if I ever need to buy a house again. He's incredibly knowledgeable and very responsive. He goes above and beyond for literally everything you need. The entire process was seamless.”
“Charlotte is an excellent and effective communicator! How she handled the entire process of putting our house on the market to dealing with buyers and realtors was very professional. She is extremely knowledgable about the current market and best practice to move things along all while she has your best interest in mind. Hands down, I highly recommend her, her knowledge, her communication, her professionalism, her efforts and she is fun to work with! You will succeed when partnering with Charlotte!”
“I very highly recommend Zack Harwood! Zack was incredibly helpful, patient, and supportive throughout the entire process. Buying a first home was overwhelming, but he made the process so much easier by guiding me every step of the way, answering all my questions, being extremely thorough and very responsive. Zack’s professionalism, knowledge and genuine care made such a difference. I am so grateful and I could not have asked for a better realtor! Thank you so much for making my first and forever dream condo a reality! Kari Grossman”
“Excellent!”
“Phil was a huge help during my selling and purchasing of property last year. I knew nothing of the process and he was patient, informative and answered all my questions quickly. He was quick to get me into properties at a moments notice and was encouraging even when my open houses were not. I would highly recommend Philip Elias and if I ever have to move again I will call him.”
“Serena and her team did an amazing job selling our home. From the very beginning, they listened carefully to what we wanted while also guiding us with their expertise on everything from the listing and photography to the final sale. Throughout the entire process, we always felt that they had our best interests at heart. They were responsive, thoughtful, and consistently went above and beyond to make the experience as smooth as possible. We couldn’t be happier with the job they did and would highly recommend Serena and her team to anyone looking to sell their home.”
“Amanda was more than helpful with my search for a new home we talked about my family’s needs and completely understood what I was looking for and the few non exempt things that where a must like the one and only must be able to have my dog wherever we would call home I didn’t have a lot of money to spend and she found me a nice one bedroom condo with a fair price decent amenities and best of all my pet was welcome with open arms I was told I was a piece of cake to deal with glad she thought so I would say I was a basket case thru out the process I have at 57 years old never owned a house but this amazing agent put up my crazy question and did my family right I would recommend her to anyone anytime I am so happy i got meet a wonderful careing person to find my forever home thanks again and anyone reading this trust me use Amanda she’s great answers even the dumb question anytime day or night or weekends always keeps you informed”
“Andre helped me get my house listed and sold quickly and was very responsive. He is great to interact with and I would highly recommend him. He was able to explain the process thoroughly whenever I had questions and I did not feel pressured at all during our interactions. I had already left the state for closing and Andre had no issues with covering everything no questions asked.”
“I would strongly rcomend Farrah to anyone looking for a real estate agent. I started my search with another agent that didn't quite work out. I was lucky to find Farrah, her knowledge of the business from top to bottom was invaluable. She was professional honest and driven. I not only found a home at the right price, but exactly the right one! What I appreciate most along with her drive, is that Farrah has a network of excellent people to draw on from home inspector to lawyer. This made closing easier and less stressful.”
“Working with Darleen Lannon as our buyer's agent for our new home in Hull was an absolute pleasure. She was always proactive, incredibly responsive, and provided flawless support from our first offer through closing. She is not only an exceptional professional, but also a joy to work with. We wholeheartedly recommend Darleen to anyone buying or selling on the South Shore!”
“Fantastic agent to work with in all categories. It was an absolute pleasure to work with John in both the purchase of our new house and sale of our old house. John is extremely knowledgeable about the entire process from start to finish and always has his finger on the pulse of the market. He routinely went out of his way to help us understand and navigate the complexities of the entire process. His communication was prompt, accurate, and honest. He went the extra mile to represent us professionally through what would have otherwise been a very difficult purchase. John was able to negotiate great deals for us on both our purchase and sale agreements amid a turbulent market. I would highly recommend anyone entering the real estate market to work with John. We couldn’t have been more thrilled!”
“I used to think using a real estate agent was totally unnecessary, but working with Vicky and Paul completely changed my mind. We managed to buy a new house and sell a condo in two different towns in just 3.5 months with minimal works. Of course, we had to put in some work on our end too, but having Vicky and Paul in our corner was an absolute blessing. Vicky always protected our interests, whether we were buying or selling. Instead of just trying to push the first home on us, she gave us genuinely honest opinions and advice on every house we toured. She’s also super creative and proactive, always having a solid plan to tackle any situation and make sure things kept moving along smoothly and on time. She’s so thorough every step of the way. She read through inspection reports and made sure she addressed every concern raised by us or inspector with the seller's agent. And I can't leave out Paul, who was so helpful joining us for the inspection of the home we were purchasing and the works prior to the inspection for the home we are selling. Vicky and Paul make an amazing team, and they're honestly the exact combination you want when you're navigating the market. Thank you both so much for making our move way less of a headache!”
