By Alissa Christie | Bentley’s | The RE/MAX Collection

With rain still in the forecast and temperatures feeling more like March than spring, many are asking:
When will the Spring 2025 real estate surge arrive in Newburyport?

This season is typically the time when the Newburyport housing market comes alive, but weather delays and economic uncertainty have slowed the usual momentum. Whether you're buying a home in Newburyport or getting ready to sell, understanding the local market trends can help you stay ahead of the curve.


🌸 Spring 2025 Market Snapshot: Newburyport Real Estate Trends

🔮 Will More Homes Hit the Market in Late Spring?

While we're not heading back to 2010-level inventory, there are clear signs that more homes for sale in Newburyport are on the horizon.

Many would-be sellers have been holding off—but that’s changing. With interest rates stabilizing and personal timelines aligning, more homeowners are preparing to list this spring.
