How does November 2025 compare with November 2024? And what do recent fed rate cuts mean for the housing market? Find out in this month's Market & Moments column.
Welcome to our monthly Burlington, MA, real estate market update! If you’ve ever wondered, “So… how’s the market?” this series is for you. This month, we’re taking a look back at what happened in November in the Burlington real estate market.
Last month 11 homes sold in Burlington, with the average sale price coming in at just about $4k below list price. Even with the market softening a bit, sellers are still seeing strong offers. Here are the highlights compared to the November 2024 market:

This November, the Burlington real estate market showed a slight seasonal slowdown, but plenty of movement remains. Some buyers are finding opportunities to negotiate great deals, while others are still facing multiple-offer situations – proof that demand continues to vary depending on the property type and price point. As we wrap up 2025, it will be interesting to see where the year ultimately lands. In 2024, Burlington saw home values rise roughly 7% year over year, and with steady demand and limited inventory, we’re on track for similar, or potentially even stronger, appreciation by the end of this year.

The November 2025 federal rate cut (this year’s 3rd) could give the real estate market a little lift. Lower borrowing costs may bring more buyers back into the search, increasing activity as we head into 2026. While the impact won’t be immediate, repeated cuts like this can help build momentum.
Before the snow really piles up, now is the perfect time to clean and inspect your dryer vent. Lint buildup doesn’t just make your dryer less efficient; it’s also one of the leading causes of household fires. Pull the dryer away from the wall, disconnect the vent hose, and use a vent cleaning brush or vacuum attachment to remove trapped lint. Don’t forget the exterior vent flap outside your home, which can get clogged with debris or even freeze shut in winter weather. A quick cleanout can help your dryer run better, reduce energy costs, and keep your home safer all winter long.
