Shrewsbury · Worcester County
Shrewsbury real estate agent — the town we have closed in most.
Ten-plus closings here in the last four years, more than any other town we serve. Shrewsbury runs its own market: median around $668,000, up 7.7% year over year, and 21 days on market with 42 homes available. That is fast, but it is not Route 128 fast, and the offer strategy that wins here is different.

- Offer strategy built on what has closed on these streets, not a regional average
- Title V septic guidance before you list, not mid-transaction
- Honest comparison against Westborough, Northborough, Grafton and Worcester
- Financing coordination including H-1B, first-time and cross-border buyers

Financing for Shrewsbury doesn't look like a standard 30-year fixed for every buyer
Shrewsbury sits right on Route 9, minutes from the Marlborough–Westborough life sciences corridor, where Boston Scientific, Hologic and AbbVie all have major sites. A meaningful share of buyers here are on a work visa, building credit history, or purchasing from outside the U.S. — each of those changes which lenders will talk to you and what they ask for. We coordinate that financing conversation directly rather than leaving you to find it yourself.

Common questions
How is Shrewsbury doing right now?
Median sale price is around $668,000, up roughly 7.7% year over year, with 21 days on market and about 42 homes available. It is a genuinely competitive market, though inventory is healthier than in the inner suburbs. Figures come from our market data and move monthly — ask us for the current read on your specific street.
Why does Shrewsbury cost less than towns closer to Boston?
Distance from Boston, principally. The trade is a longer commute for meaningfully more house — the median here is roughly half of Newton or Lexington. For anyone working along Route 9, the I-495 belt, Worcester or the biotech corridor, that trade is often the right one. Whether it is right for you depends on your commute and how long you plan to stay.
Is my house on septic, and does that matter?
A significant share of Shrewsbury homes are not on town sewer, and Massachusetts requires a Title V inspection before transfer. A failed system is a five-figure problem, and finding out mid-transaction is far worse than finding out three months early. We check this before you list.
What will I actually net if I sell?
Usually less than sellers expect, and the gap is predictable. Beyond the mortgage payoff there is the Massachusetts deed excise at $4.56 per $1,000, the closing attorney, prep work, the smoke and CO certificate, and Title V if you are on septic. Our net proceeds calculator lays it out, and the brokerage fee field is blank because that is negotiated between you and your broker.
Do you only work in Shrewsbury?
No — we work across the MetroWest and I-495 corridor including Ashland, Natick, Hopkinton, Westborough and Southborough, plus Belmont, Andover and Acton. Shrewsbury is simply where we have closed most.
