THE BOTTOM LINE

At $1,785,000 — $15K below their Dec 2024 purchase — the sellers of 22 Old Cambridge Tpke are priced for an exit the comp set doesn't support, on a parcel fronting Route 2. RAAM-Lite: 58.6/100.

WHO NEEDS THIS

Anyone weighing an offer in Lincoln above $1.5M, or pricing a Route 2-adjacent listing in 01773.

KEY INSIGHTS
  • Ask is $185K above the highest 2025 Lincoln sale within 1.5 miles ($1.6M)
  • Listing markets 6,494 sqft; assessor shows 3,153 sqft — reconcile the floor plan
  • Route 2 frontage carries an unremediable noise/light discount per MassDOT history
  • Two permits filed within 67 days of purchase — including one for 'discovered damage'
  • RAAM-Lite score 58.6/100 — Lincoln schools alone keep it above 30
DO THIS NEXT

Pull permit R-25-0045, reconcile sqft, and anchor any offer to ATTOM comps — not the AVM.
