John Fortes, real estate agent serving Abington, MA.

Selling a home in Abington

Abington was settled in 1668 and became a town in 1712. In 1815, Jesse Reed invented a tack-making machine here that helped grow the local shoe industry. Buyers come for the train station, town sewer and quick access to Routes 18, 58, 123 and 139.

I’m John Fortes, a real estate agent with RE/MAX Synergy, and I help Abington owners sell their homes. I walk the house, check the sewer and water details for your address, and lay out a clear plan. You can learn more about how I work on my South Shore home selling page.

    Neighborhoods and areas

    Locals talk about Abington Center and North Abington, and older maps also show South Abington and East Abington. The center has homes closer to the street, while many North Abington lots run a bit deeper. Homes in each area sell differently, so I price from sales close to yours.

    Island Grove Park has a pond swimming area, walking paths and the Memorial Arch, and it was a major abolitionist meeting ground before the Civil War. Ames Nowell State Park sits around Cleveland Pond in the northwest corner of town. Abington has no ocean beach.

    Abington homes get town water from the Abington and Rockland Joint Water Works, a system the town shares with Rockland. The town sewer system has about 90 miles of pipe and 4,849 property connections, and about 95% of its flow goes to Brockton’s treatment plant. Trash and recycling pickup is curbside.

    Abington Public Schools starts with the Abington Early Education Program for preschool. Beaver Brook Elementary School serves kindergarten to grade 2, and Woodsdale Elementary School serves grades 3 and 4. Abington Middle School serves grades 5 to 8, and Abington High School serves grades 9 to 12.

    Commute

    Abington market snapshot

    These numbers come from MLS PIN, year to date as of 11/6/2026 (January 1 to November 6, 2026), median view.

    Single family homes:

    • Median sale price: $627,500
    • Median days on market: 21
    • Sale price to final list price: 100.0%
    • Active listings: 9
    • Closed sales so far this year: 98

    Condos:

    • Median sale price: $412,500
    • Median days on market: 22
    • Sale price to final list price: 100.0%
    • Active listings: 12
    • Closed sales so far this year: 20

    What this means for you: Abington single family homes are selling in about three weeks, right at asking at the median. With only 9 single family homes for sale at the time, buyers had few choices, which helps a home that is priced well. Condos also sold in about three weeks at asking, but with 20 condo sales so far this year, one sale can move those numbers.

    Reasons to sell in Abington

    The worry, then how I help.

    Upsizing

    You do not want to sell before the next house is set.

    I map the dates so you are not stuck with two payments or nowhere to go.

    A multi-family

    Tenants may still be in the home, and you are ready to sell.

    I follow the lease and the law, and I do not promise that a tenant will leave.

    Needs work

    The house needs work and you do not want to renovate first.

    I price it as it stands, and that opinion is not a home inspection.

    Inherited

    You inherited a house and you are not sure what you can do yet.

    I coordinate with your estate attorney, and I do not give legal advice.

    A condo

    Fees, reserves, or the rules can surprise a buyer.

    I read those before we set a price.

    Buy and sell

    You need to sell one home and buy the next.

    I put both dates on paper before we list.

    How I help sellers

    From the first call through closing, you deal with me.

    Pricing

    I price from recent sales and the repairs that pay you back, and this is my opinion, not an appraisal.

    Prep

    I give you a short prep list and introduce vendors that you hire and pay yourself.

    Negotiation

    I negotiate price, dates, and inspection terms, and I keep my list to 6 to 8 so I have the time.

    Closing

    A transaction coordinator keeps the file moving, and you still talk to me.

    Buying in Abington

    Or find your next home in Abington. Before you offer, I look at the roof, the foundation, and the systems. I bring trusted home inspectors and I walk through the inspection with you. I do not replace the inspector.

    First home

    You are buying your first home and you do not want to miss a costly problem.

    I tell you what I see before you offer.

    Multi-family

    You need the building’s real condition, not a pitch.

    I look at the roof, the systems, and the numbers before you offer.

    The inspection

    You want someone with you who can explain what the report means.

    I bring trusted home inspectors and I walk through the inspection with you.

    The trip to Boston

    You work in Boston and you need the real trip, by train or by car.

    I talk about the rail and the roads as facts, then I look at the house.
