LOOKING AHEAD From the sale of multimillion-dollar estates to luxury condos, the North Shore’s reputation as a premium destination for sophisticated buyers has only been enhanced over the past year. And while competition may be fierce, the opportunity to invest in this dynamic market remains a smart long-term move. LOW INVENTORY, HIGHER PRICES Low supply continues to underpin price growth on the North Shore. In June 2025, the median sales price rose nearly 14% year over year, compared to the national average of just 1.9%, according to the latest S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller data. Quick turnaround times further amplify the favorable conditions for potential sellers, especially those with a plan in place for their next move. For buyers, the scarcity of available homes has underscored the importance of creativity and preparation in their purchasing strategies. Buyers are not only strategizing financing tactics to fit today’s market but are also acting decisively when the right opportunity arises. “While this offers advantages like avoiding temporary housing and moving twice, it also involves financial considerations like managing two mortgage payments and potentially higher interest rates on short-term financing,” Levitt explains. Transitional financing options offer flexibility, particularly in a market where timing is everything. Homeowners looking to upsize or downsize benefit from the ability to move decisively, securing their next home without waiting for their existing property to sell. Bridge loans and home equity options, in particular, have emerged as favorites for those aiming to manage the transition smoothly while maximizing their purchasing power, according to Levitt.
