Episode Details

Is Lincoln, Rhode Island a good place for first-time homebuyers in 2026? Alex Parmenidez walks through the live numbers: a median sale price near $520K that runs below the statewide figure, price per square foot up almost 6%, homes going under contract in about 23 days, and 86 active listings for the whole town. Then the part the data can't show you: what Lincoln showings and open houses actually feel like right now, why the median stays flat while per-foot prices climb, and which homes draw two to four serious offers versus which ones sit.

Also covered: the honest affordability picture from HousingWorks RI's 2025 Fact Book, and which Rhode Island buyer-assistance programs are really open in 2026 (RIHousing's $15,000 down payment assistance, FirstGenHomeRI's $25,000, RI AnchorHome's phased 3.99% mortgage, and why the 38% Pilot only applies to deed-restricted new construction). Closes with how to prepare an offer that wins in Lincoln.
