How It Works in Massachusetts

Massachusetts is one of the most expensive housing markets in the country, with a statewide median sale price above $645,000 and 40% of homes selling above asking price. In a market where a traditional 6% commission could exceed $38,000, the savings opportunity for sellers is enormous. Greater Boston's tech and biotech sectors drive demand in the metro, while the Cape and Islands attract seasonal and retirement buyers, and Western Massachusetts offers relative affordability with growing appeal to remote workers.

Know Your Disclosure Duties in Massachusetts

Massachusetts does not require a standardized seller disclosure form, but sellers are legally obligated to disclose known material defects. Being proactive about disclosure protects you from legal liability and builds buyer confidence throughout the transaction.

Here are the key things you must disclose:

Known Material Defects: Sellers must disclose known defects that affect the property's value or safety.

Lead-Based Paint (Pre-1978 Homes): Disclose known lead hazards, provide an EPA pamphlet, allow 10 days for inspection.

Lead Paint Compliance (Massachusetts Law): Massachusetts requires a lead inspection for homes built before 1978 with children under 6.

Title V Septic Inspection: A passing Title V septic inspection is required within 2 years of closing.

Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Compliance: Sellers must provide a certificate of compliance from the local fire department.

HOA Documents: Provide governing documents, bylaws, and fees if part of an HOA or condo association.
