"Provincetown Matchmaker Connects Desperate Home Seekers"

Provincetown, Massachusetts, has one of the most harrowing housing markets in New England due to limited stock, enormous summertime demand, and heavy reliance on seasonal workers. Dan McKeon, an unofficial "housing matchmaker," helps renters find housing and urges homeowners to open unused rooms to newcomers. The median sales price of a single-family home in Provincetown was $1.9 million last month, and apartment vacancies are essentially nonexistent. Local leaders are stepping up efforts to address the housing crisis, but many are still struggling to find affordable housing.
