Belmont’s limited inventory keeps homes moving at a sprint: well-priced listings often draw multiple offers within three weeks and finish above list. Values have surged roughly 18 percent year-over-year, pushing the median sale deep into seven-figure territory and rewarding owners who present their homes well. For sellers, that momentum means a carefully priced, polished property is likely to command attention quickly. For buyers, success hinges on rock-solid pre-approval and an agent ready to write clean, decisive offers the moment a new address hits the MLS.



Ask long-timers why they stay and they’ll mention the quick walk to coffee in the Center, Saturday soccer at Payson Park, and the fact you can still borrow a cup of sugar from the neighbor. Belmont feels dense enough to keep things interesting - bookstore, butcher, farmers’ market - yet the tree cover and front-porch chats give it a small-town heartbeat.

Workdays are painless: hop the Fitchburg Line at Belmont Center or Waverley and you’re stepping off at North Station about twenty minutes later, skipping the parking hunt in Cambridge or Boston. Health-care pros have McLean Hospital right in town, while tech and biotech hubs cluster just over the border in Alewife and Kendall Square, so commute math rarely breaks a sweat.
