In most U.S. housing markets, the conversation in late 2026 centers on rising inventory and price adjustments. In Westwood, Massachusetts, a commuter town roughly 30 minutes west of Boston, neither condition applies. The town currently has about 20 homes listed for sale, a figure that has held relatively steady for years, according to Tammy DeWolfe, ...

The real estate brokerage landscape in Eastern Massachusetts is consolidating, not because smaller firms are failing, but because the operational demands of running one have grown faster than most small shops can staff for.
