The Natick market
What shapes home values in Natick
Walk to the center
Homes within walking distance of Natick Center and its commuter rail station tend to draw steady attention.
Water and open space
Nearness to Lake Cochituate, the Charles River or conservation land is a feature many buyers look for.
Route 9 access
Quick access to Route 9 and the Mass Pike is convenient, though streets right beside the highway can feel busier.
Home updates
Renovated and expanded postwar homes stand apart from original houses that need work on kitchens, baths and systems.
Natick's homes span a long timeline. Around Natick Center you find Victorian and early twentieth-century single-families, along with two-families and some condo conversions. South Natick holds many of the town's antique houses along Eliot Street and near the Charles. Much of the rest of town was built out after World War II with Capes, ranches, split-levels and Colonials, many of which have been expanded or replaced. Condominium and townhouse complexes are scattered along Route 9, Route 27 and other main roads, and newer apartment-style buildings have appeared near the center.
Things to check vary by section. Near Natick Center, look at parking and the condition of older systems; on lake or river streets, ask about flood zones; and in condo complexes, review the association's reserves and rules. Distance to the train and to Route 9 or the Pike shapes a daily routine more than the address suggests. For an up-to-date view of Natick pricing on the streets you like, contact The Pettengill Group and we will prepare one.
FAQ
Home valuation questions
How is the home value estimate prepared?
A member of our team looks at recent comparable sales near your property, its size, layout, condition and features, and current market conditions. It is prepared by a person who knows the area, not generated by an algorithm.
Is the home valuation really free?
Yes. There is no cost and no obligation to list your home with us.
How long does it take to get my estimate?
We send personalized estimates within 24 hours, usually by email. If we have a question about the property, we may call first.
Is this the same as an appraisal?
No. Our estimate is a comparative market analysis: our professional opinion of a likely sale price based on market data. A formal appraisal is done by a licensed appraiser, usually for a lender during a purchase or refinance.
What happens with my information?
We use it only to prepare your estimate and to contact you about it.

How to sell a house in Massachusetts
Price the home from recent comparable sales, prepare it and list it, while gathering the paperwork Massachusetts requires: a smoke and CO certificate, the lead paint notification for pre-1978 homes, a home inspection disclosure, and a Title 5 report if you have a septic system. After you accept an offer, your attorney negotiates the Purchase and Sale agreement and handles the deed and deed excise tax at closing.

Outside Barnstable County, the Massachusetts deed excise tax is $2.28 for every $500 of the sale price, or fraction of $500 (about $4.56 per $1,000). The person who signs the deed, the seller in a sale, pays it when the deed is recorded.
