Top-ranked schools, mature neighborhoods, and resale strength that has held through every market cycle since the 1980s.
Andover is one of the most stable price markets in the Merrimack Valley. The combination of Phillips Academy, top-ranked public schools, and proximity to the I-93 / I-495 interchange has given the town a buyer floor that does not waver easily — even in soft years.
Our work in Andover skews toward two profiles. Move-up buyers from inside-128 are drawn by school ratings and lot sizes. Long-tenured Andover homeowners — often empty-nesters in colonials they bought in the 1990s — start the conversation about downsizing five years before they actually move. We've learned to honor the timeline.
Inventory ranges widely: 1920s colonials near downtown, post-war ranches in West Andover, and newer subdivisions toward Boxford. Each pocket carries its own pricing logic — a $1.2M house on Salem Street is not the same buyer or seller as a $1.2M house off Lowell Street.
Whether the move is in ten weeks or ten years, the same call gets it started — what you’re thinking, what you’re weighing, what would make this work.
