Financing Considerations

Properties in Dover typically require jumbo financing with stricter underwriting, larger down payments (20–25%+), and higher reserve requirements.

Learn about loan thresholds, property condition impact, flood/wind insurance, and how vintage homes (common in many MA towns) affect mortgage approval.

The Vibe

Ultra-exclusive rural enclave with horse farms, multi-acre estates, conservation land, and absolute privacy

  • Equestrian families
  • Privacy and land seekers
  • Old money dynasties

Avoid If

  • You're not ready for $2.4M median
