Selling a Single Family in Davis Square

If you are thinking of selling your single family home in Davis Square, understand two things. First, you are in a good place in the sense that Davis Square is arguably the highest demand area in all of Somerville and a top neighborhood in Cambridge after Harvard and Central Squares. So that’s the upside - no matter what you do, you are likely to sell quickly and for a good price.

But the second thing you must understand, is that how you position your property will have a massive impact on where it sells. Generally I find single families to land in one of three categories;

Category one is single family homes that are in total disrepair. A lot of seller agents make the mistake of just popping it up on MLS, crossing their fingers and hoping for the best. Don’t be that person! Oftentimes these homes need to be marketed to show their best position. Sometimes that is actually making some very light updates to position the property in a positive light. Other times that means showing what a completely updated single family could go through with recent past examples. 

But marketing the potential to prospective buyers has an outsized impact on where your sales price will land, as well as how quickly you sell and with what terms. If you need guidance on selling your single family, give me a holler at 617-833-7457!
