Local insights from Redfin agents
Despite new zoning laws encouraging housing production, Cambridge remains a Seller's market driven by pent-up demand and a constant influx of buyers. Because it is a historic, built-out city, there is little new housing to replace existing...
properties, & true supply growth is severely constrained.
