Welcome to the August Local Loop

As summer begins to wind down and families prepare for the busy fall season ahead, we’re excited to share some updates from the Legacy Group, a look at the local real estate market, and an upcoming community event we’re proud to be hosting in partnership with several outstanding local businesses.
Legacy Group Update: Growing Our Team

This month, we’re thrilled to share some exciting news: John DeBlois and Joanne Dorsky have officially joined the Legacy Group!
John and Joanne each bring a wealth of experience, market knowledge, and a genuine passion for helping clients achieve their real estate goals. Most importantly, they share the same values that have guided our team from day one: exceptional service, strong relationships, and a commitment to putting clients first.
As Legacy Group continues to grow, we’re incredibly excited about what their addition means for our clients and the communities we serve. Their expertise will allow us to provide even more personalized support while continuing to deliver the high level of service our clients have come to expect.
Please join us in congratulating John and Joanne and giving them a warm welcome to the team. We’re looking forward to this next chapter together and can’t wait for many of you to meet them in person.
Real Estate Update: Fall Market Outlook

As we head into the fall market, buyer demand remains strong across both Westwood and Dedham.
Westwood’s recent median sale price was approximately $1.18 million, with homes selling in an average of 17 days. In Dedham, the median sale price was approximately $766,000, with homes averaging about 20 days on market.
Today’s buyers are more selective, but well-priced, well-presented homes continue to attract strong interest. With fewer listings typically available in the fall, it can be an excellent time for sellers to stand out.
If you’re considering a move or wondering what your home may be worth, we’d be happy to provide a personalized market analysis.
Community Spotlight: Free Educational Seminar

This September, Legacy Group will be hosting a free educational seminar at the Westwood Council on Aging:
Preparing Your Home—and Yourself—for the Next Move
Whether you’re considering downsizing, planning a future move, or simply want to be prepared, this seminar will offer practical advice on preparing your home, simplifying the moving process, and reducing stress along the way.
We’ll be joined by:
- Mike’s Collectibles & Antiques, sharing tips on identifying items that may have value before donating or discarding them.
- Carmel Moving, providing expert guidance on packing, storage, moving, and donation options.
We hope you’ll join us for an informative and engaging discussion designed to help you plan your next chapter with confidence.
Until Next Month
As summer winds down and fall approaches, we’re excited about the opportunities ahead. Thank you for your continued trust, support, and referrals.
We look forward to helping you, your family, and your friends with all of your real estate needs.
Warmly,
Legacy Group
