CURRENT MARKET CONDITIONS
We report median days on market, not average — because one outlier property sitting 400 days shouldn’t change what you expect your home to do. Our data covers the Colonial School District, not a zip code — in this region, two homes on the same street can be in different districts with meaningfully different market dynamics.

★★★★★
“Jane and Vince are by far the best realtors I’ve met. They are professional with deep knowledge of their markets. The best part of working with them is that I never felt rushed or pressured. Jane always gave her honest opinion and I could tell she was genuinely thinking about what was best for me and my family.”
