Beverly Homes & Living

🌊 Salt air. 🏡 Ocean views. 🌬️ The sound of the tide rolling in.

Living on the North Shore of Boston is extraordinary — and so is what that same ocean air quietly does to your home while you enjoy it. 😬

Here's what most coastal homeowners don't discover until they're facing a big repair bill 💸: salt is a desiccant. It pulls moisture out of everything it touches — your cedar shingles 🪵, your paint 🎨, your window caulk 🪟, your gutters 🏠. And on the North Shore, it never. stops. working.

The coastal homes that hold their beauty ✨ and their value 📈 belong to owners who:
✅ Know their materials
🗓️ Follow a simple seasonal routine
🔍 Treat small things before they become big ones

Whether you're in Ipswich 🦞, Gloucester 🎣, Beverly 🌊, Rockport 🎨, Salem 🧙, Newbury 🌾, or Salisbury 🏖️ — we broke it all down in our latest guide! 🙌

📊 Beverly Market Update — This One Matters

This report is for single-family home sales.

Prices didn’t fall —
they actually climbed.

The median price hit $782,500, up over 7% year-over-year.

But here’s what that number is hiding…

Homes didn’t all sell in one range.
They sold anywhere from about $565,000 to $1,750,000.

That’s a huge spread.

Most homes clustered between $700K–$875K,
but a few higher-end sales are pulling prices up.

Now here’s the shift 👇

• Fewer homes are selling (22 → 18)
• Days on market jumped (20 → 36)
• Inventory is still extremely tight (just 11 homes)

So what does this mean?

Beverly didn’t get cheaper.
It got more segmented.

Buyers are choosing carefully —
and only paying strong prices for the right homes.

👉 If you’re a buyer: this is your moment to negotiate smart
👉 If you’re a seller: pricing and positioning matter more than ever

Because in this market…
not every home wins — only the right ones do.
