SOMERVILLE, Mass. & MELROSE, Mass. & MEDFORD, Mass. - BostonChron -- Stuck in Place? Why Homeowners Are Building Up Instead of Moving Out
—Aureli Construction offers solutions as high interest rates stall the housing market
While the housing market continues to cool due to elevated interest rates and tight inventory, homeowners across Massachusetts are facing a dilemma: move, or make the most of what they have. At Aureli Construction, we're seeing a clear trend, and it's one that puts smart renovation at the center of the solution.
"People still want more space," says founder, Daniel Aureli. "They're just not willing to take on a 7% mortgage to get it."
That's why more homeowners are choosing to remodel, expand, and reimagine their homes, especially through home additions, basement finishing, and kitchen remodeling. With over 30 years of experience in the Greater Boston area, Aureli Construction is helping families stay put while still upgrading their lifestyle.
The Market May Be Frozen, But Renovation is Heating Up
According to recent data from the Massachusetts Association of Realtors, home listings are down nearly 20% compared to this time last year. At the same time, remodeling demand has surged, especially for projects that improve both function and value.

"Adding a bathroom, finishing a basement, or building an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) can completely change how a family lives in their space," explains [Your Name]. "It's also an investment that pays off when the market picks back up."
Curious about what's possible? Explore our home additions, kitchen remodeling, and ADU services on our website.
From Frustration to Function: Recent Projects Show the Shift
One recent Wakefield client approached us after spending six months unsuccessfully house-hunting. Instead of compromising, they invested in a custom addition that included a sunroom, updated kitchen, and spacious mudroom. The result? A home that fits their lifestyle, without a bidding war.
Whether it's a second-story addition, a new bathroom, or a multi-generational suite, Aureli Construction helps clients create the space they need in the home they already love.
Thinking Ahead: The Rise of ADUs
Massachusetts' new zoning reform makes building an accessory dwelling unit easier than ever—and homeowners are taking notice. These self-contained spaces offer flexibility for aging parents, college kids returning home, or even short-term rentals.

"With local laws becoming more ADU-friendly, we're helping clients turn garages, basements, and backyard space into income-generating or family-supporting dwellings," Daniel Aureli notes.
