About the comparison
Calculated from historical MLS records for other sudbury non-waterfront house sales recorded sold in the same calendar quarter. Each MLS listing is counted once; this sale is excluded. The median is the middle result. This is local market context across a range of prices and property conditions. Days on market refer to the final MLS listing; cumulative days include earlier listing periods where recorded.
From first purchase to family-home sale
The sellers bought 963 Somers Street as first-time buyers and spent the next twelve years building their life there. A new job eventually created an out-of-town move. Because we had stayed in touch, the sale conversation began with a shared understanding of the home and the timeline they needed.
Present the features that make daily life easier
The campaign focused on the detached garage, private backyard, practical layout and the updates completed over the years. A décor consultation, staging advice, photography, video, drone media and floor plans helped the property feel consistent online and in person.
Give the right buyer time to arrive
The home launched at $427,700 and stayed close to that position while the campaign worked. Rather than manufacture drama, the plan was to keep the presentation strong and let buyers compare a move-in-ready New Sudbury home on its merits.
A sale aligned with the relocation
The MLS record shows a recorded list price of $427,700, a sale price of $428,000, and an MLS sale date of August 4, 2022. More important for the sellers, the timeline lined up with their move and brought a twelve-year chapter to a clean conclusion.
Preparation that supported a relocation
The sellers needed the sale to fit an out-of-town move. Staging guidance brought the rooms together before photography, while video, aerial views and floor plans helped buyers connect the layout with the garage and private yard. Keeping that material in one property presentation gave interested buyers a way to revisit the home while we coordinated the sale with the relocation.

Wondering how your home fits today's market?
Returning to sell a home we once bought together—or coordinating a relocation? I can use that history to organize the preparation and timing without assuming today's market will repeat the past.
