📰 News we're reading
• Market & Moments: The Burlington, Mass., Summer Sales Report (burlington.buzz) — Burlington's summer housing market saw fewer sales but steady prices, with 34 single-family homes selling at a median of $862,500, nearly matching 2025. Rising interest rates are starting to cool buyer activity, making smart pricing crucial for fall sellers and potentially opening opportunities for patient buyers. A seasonal heating-system check is also recommended before colder weather hits.

• Where to eat with kids: fall frenzy edition (bostonglobe.com) — Families in Burlington have a couple of new, budget-friendly options for eating out with kids, including a ramen spot off Route 95 and a lively Mexican restaurant at Burlington Mall. Both emphasize fast, cheerful service, generous portions, and menus that balance adventurous dishes with kid-pleasing favorites, making them handy choices before or after errands or mall trips.
