Selling a Single Family in Kendall Square

If you’re thinking of selling your single family in Kendall Square there are a few things you should know. The first piece is good news - single families are quite rare, in fact as of 12/10/2025 only three single families sold on-market in 2025. 

Because there is so little inventory, generally single families in good condition go very quickly in Kendall Square. At the same time, there are a number of steps in my opinion you must take to ensure your home sells for the highest price, in the least amount of time and with the best terms:

  1. First you need to determine what sort of preparation is required to make your single family home as valuable as possible in the eyes of a potential buyer. Kendall Square tends to attract a lot of young professional couples and young professional families - so making updates to the property geared towards that demographic often has the biggest return. I work with each seller to ensure that we make the updates that will have the greatest return on investment and yield the most buyer interest, which ultimately translates to the most offers and highest prices with the best terms

  2. The next thing you need to do is seriously consider staging. Most single families are occupied and so it’s not always possible to stage a home. If at all possible, I highly recommend we stage the property in most scenarios because excellent staging can be the difference between getting a great sold price quickly or a property sitting for many months. If you aren’t able to stage the property, I will work with you to figure out best to declutter and rearrange the existing space to maximize the potential in the eyes of prospective buyers

  3. From there we need to properly price your home - I believe it’s important to make pricing decisions very close to the listing date but it’s a good idea to have a good sense of where your property will land before we get started. So I typically will run an initial analysis on the value of your single family and then go back and run the process again close to the listing date.
