What’s the status of COVID openings as it relates to real estate?  We have fielded many questions because the Governor has new and emerging mandates that can get very confusing.  This page summarizes the continued reopening plan pretty clearly: https://www.mass.gov/news/baker-polito-administration-announces-plans-for-continued-reopening. It’s your best source for the latest details straight from the Governor. 

We did ask the state association legal department about the previous ban on serving food at open houses.  They indicated that there is not currently a restriction “per se” (which means BUT in legal jargon), it is a conversation to have with a seller to see whether they are comfortable with that. If there is food, people will likely be removing face coverings, and distancing and safety are concerns that need to be addressed fully in advance.
