The Wall Street Journal & Newburyport

The Wall Street Journal ran a real estate piece on Newburyport on October 14, 2020, highlighting how luxury housing doesn’t last here. We here at Bentley’s real estate can attest! It’s not just luxury either, anything and everything is competitive, much to buyers chagrins. Newburyport is simply that desirable of a community to move to. Everything is close here, whether it’s highway access, public transportation, airports, the beaches (Plum Island), and of course The White Mountains of New Hampshire.

“Fueling this moment is not only the city’s longstanding accessibility, via multiple highways and a commuter rail, but also newer cultural touchstones, like an infusion of high-end restaurants and retail, and the recently completed Clipper City Rail Trail, a 3.9-mile walk along defunct railroad tracks, marked by sculptures and interactive art.”

What the Wall Street Journal does not mention are the real estate brokerage firm footprints in both Newburyport and The Greater Newburyport areas. While every Newburyport property is at a premium these days, Bentley’s Real Estate has been able to weather the Covid 19 storm and actually gain in it’s already number one leading market share (via mlspin.com). If your a numbers person, which many reading The Wall Street Journal are, the numbers simply speak for themselves. Led by Bentley’s ownership of Robert Bentley and Alissa Christie, and a phenomenal group of talented local agents, one could see why Bentley’s leads the real estate market, we are the market.

“Newburyport has a burgeoning urban-suburban feel.
Newburyport’s market is more robust than those of most of its neighbors. In the city, 144 single-family homes sold between March and September, 35 of which were more than $1 million, according to MLS data.”

It’s true. Newburyport has the best of both worlds. You can be as close to the city as you want but without being there. Or, when you want the peace & tranquility of the suburbs, you need only go out your front door. Need to know more about Newburyport?
