What’s the MLS? (Multiple Listing Service)
Remember, The MLS (Multiple Listing Service) is a private! database that real estate professionals (like us at J.M. Whitney) use to share the most up-to-date property listings. Working with a broker who has MLS access gives you a huge edge by unlocking early insights, private listings, and accurate pricing data you won’t find on public sites.

National News, Context, and Our Impressions:
The broader U.S. housing market in May 2025 is influenced by several key factors; references included:
- Tariffs and Construction Costs: Recent tariffs on imported building materials, such as lumber and steel, have increased construction costs by approximately $10,900 per new home. This escalation is contributing to higher home prices and may slow down new housing projects. Investopedia
- Mortgage Rates: The average 30-year mortgage rate has slightly decreased to 6.76%, offering modest relief to buyers. However, rates remain elevated compared to historical lows, continuing to impact affordability. AP News
- Seller Concessions: In response to economic uncertainties, 44.4% of home sales in Q1 2025 included seller concessions, such as covering closing costs or funding repairs, indicating a shift towards a more buyer-friendly market. Business Insider+1MarketWatch+1
- Home Price Growth: Nationally, home-price growth is decelerating, with a 4.5% annual increase reported in February 2025, down from 4.7% in January. This trend suggests a cooling market amid economic instability. MarketWatch
These national trends provide context for the Watertown market, where increased listings and competitive pricing may offer opportunities for buyers.
