“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).
Needham’s rolling three-month numbers show a market with more activity but tighter flow into contract. Active listings are up more than 15% year over year to 160, yet pending sales have risen only slightly, and new listings jumped more than 24% versus last year even as they fell sharply from the prior three-month period.
Pricing is adjusting to this shift in supply and demand. The typical home value over the latest rolling three months is down about 7% from a year ago, and the share of homes selling above list has dropped by roughly 10% year over year, with the average sale-to-list ratio now just under 100%.
Days on market and overall balance between buyers and sellers further highlight changing conditions. Homes are taking longer to sell, with median days on market up about 13% year over year to 32 and months of supply climbing more than 34% to 2.3, still consistent with a seller’s market but less intense than in prior periods. Buyers and sellers can both benefit from an expert local guide in this evolving environment, and Agent Pronto can connect them with a Needham agent who understands these trends and how to navigate them.

“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”
“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.”
“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”
“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.”
“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.”
“I wouldn't use anyone else. She's great.”
“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!”
“Smita Sinha was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout our home-buying journey. She is approachable, knowledgeable, and truly takes the time to understand her clients' needs and priorities. Her attention to detail and deep understanding of the real estate market gave us confidence at every step of the process. What stood out most was her commitment to supporting us beyond expectations. Smita consistently went the extra mile to answer questions, provide guidance, and advocate for our interests. She listened carefully, remained responsive, and ensured that we felt informed and comfortable when making important decisions. If you are looking for a real estate agent who is professional, dependable, and genuinely invested in helping her clients succeed, I would highly recommend Smita Sinha. Her dedication and client-focused approach make her exceptional at what she does.”
“Excellent Realtor – Highly Recommended! We had a wonderful experience working with our realtor Josh Stiles while buying our apartment. From the very beginning, he was professional, knowledgeable, patient, and always available to answer our questions and guide us through every step of the process. Josh truly listened to what we were looking for and helped us find the right apartment. His expertise, attention to detail, and excellent communication made the entire buying process much easier and less stressful. We always felt that he had our best interests in mind and were working hard to help us make the right decision. We are very grateful for all their help and support and couldn't be happier with our new apartment. We highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

“We had an excellent experience working with Samson during the purchase of our new home. From the beginning of our home search all the way through closing, Samson was professional, knowledgeable, patient, and truly committed to helping us find the right home for our family. He took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for, answered our questions clearly, and guided us through every stage of the home-buying process. He was always responsive and available when we needed him, and his communication made what could have been a stressful process feel organized and manageable. What impressed us most was how genuinely Samson looked out for our best interests. We never felt pressured into making a decision. Instead, he gave us thoughtful advice, helped us evaluate our options, and made sure we were comfortable and informed before moving forward. Samson went above and beyond our expectations, and we are extremely grateful for the hard work, dedication, and professionalism he showed throughout our journey.

“Nick is GREAT to work with. He’s extremely knowledgeable of Boston and the surrounding areas and makes the entire process easy from start to finish. I’ve worked with him a couple of times now, and most recently he helped me rent out my place within 2 weeks and for well above asking price. He always shares great advice along the way. I highly recommend him.”
“Working with Sarah was the easiest and most rewarding decision I've made. She came highly recommended by someone I trust in the industry, and she absolutely delivered. I owned my home in Somerville for 21 years, and when it was time to sell, it needed some attention. Sarah helped me prioritize where to invest and where to hold back so I got the most out of every dollar. She had wonderful contacts to get the work done, along with a genuine eye for design that guided the interior choices - and she came by herself to help with the final touches. She was thoughtful about timing, invested real care in the marketing and the open houses, and was patient with my endless questions from start to finish. Sarah held my hand through the whole process. I would work with her again in a heartbeat and recommend her to anyone.”
“We truly could not recommend Brandon enough! As first-time homebuyers, the entire process was completely new to us, and Brandon made everything feel so much easier and less overwhelming. He was incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, patient, and always willing to answer our many questions along the way. From searching for the right home, to putting in our offer, navigating the inspection and negotiations, and finally making it all the way to closing, we always felt like Brandon genuinely had our best interests in mind. He was there for us every step of the way and made sure we understood what was happening throughout the entire process. We are so grateful for all of his help in getting us into our first home and couldn’t have asked for a better realtor to guide us through such a huge milestone. We would absolutely recommend Brandon to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thank you for everything, Brandon!!”
“Paul was fantastic to work with throughout our home search and purchase. He was knowledgeable, responsive, professional, and always had our best interests in mind. He made the process smooth and stress-free, and we truly appreciate all his help in finding our new home. Highly recommend Paul!”
“Spencer, you made the whole process from start to finish seem so easy! You were always such a calming influence and made my needs the top priority in both the selling of my home and the purchase of the condo that I am in love with. You have been so patient and never rushed me to make decisions. You took care of every detail and went far beyond what anyone would expect from their real estate agent. There are no words to express the level of care, expertise and professionalism that you exhibited at all times. I am forever grateful!”
“Ashley was fabulous to work with from start to finish! She made sure to share new homes as soon as they came on the market, and welcomed feedback based on our wants and needs. Ashley went above and beyond when searching for our future home. She was a great communicator, and responded quickly to any texts we sent. When it came to putting in offers and closing, she provided guidance to help us make decisions that were right for us, and thoughtfully and clearly answered any questions we had. She made the entire home-buying process manageable and achievable. Absolutely recommend her to any future home-buyers!”
