Quarterly Market Insights: MA Single-Family and Condominium Market Awareness

Schools are so important to many buyers. By popular request, we’ve doubled the size of the Grade School, Middle School, and High School fields for listings in Pinergy. These fields now can handle up to 30 characters each, so longer school names or multiple schools can be included when needed. Pinergy is back to school early this year!

The Division of Occupational Licensure (DOL) has prepared this document to highlight application items for licensees to help them apply for or renew their real estate licenses more easily. As explained in the flyer, all applications, renewals, and reinstatements are now submitted through the eLIPSE portal.

Now you can use AI to quickly generate Public Remarks for your new and existing single-family, condominium, multifamily, mobile home, and rental listings!

This flyer shows all the ways to use AI when generating listings in Pinergy . More time-saving AI features are in the works, so be sure watch Pinergy’s News & Notes for updates.

In response to new Massachusetts legislation taking effect on August 1, 2025, changes will be made to Pinergy’s online input form for Residential Rental listings on the evening of July 31, 2025. Three fields will be removed from the form: List Brokerage Fee Required from Tenant , List Brokerage Fee Amount , and Cooperating Compensation . For Residential Rental listings that are on the market, under agreement, or recently expired or canceled (going back ten days), List Brokerage Fee Required will be set to “No” and the List Brokerage Fee Amount and Cooperating Compensation fields will be cleared. Users will not be able to edit these fields, since they will be removed from the form. On August 18, 2025, these three fields will be completely removed from Pinergy and will no longer appear anywhere in the system. For more information about the new legislation, please visit Mass.gov .
