massachusetts: Introducing REMV...Not Heard of It Yet?...You will! - 01/20/09 01:27 PM
REMV, or Real Estate Music Video, is the newest and hottest way of video marketing homes.

The following are The Boston Globe Newspaper's real estate headlines for the past six months...all of them (good or bad). You determine for yourself what kind of a market we continue to experience.

massachusetts: 2007 - Full Year Market Update, Month-to-Month - 01/11/08 10:07 AM
In January, 2007, I wrote a blog entitled "Knowing Exactly When the Market will Change" that received many comments, replies and supportive feedback. In that blog, I stated that I felt that as soon as we have 3 consecutive months when more inventory is going off (under contract) than is coming on (new listings) we can expect to once again experience an appreciating market.Hot off the "Actual Statistics" press, it is now time for my January update (December, 2007 statistics) of how the real estate market is faring in my area of the country - the Massachusetts North Shore, north of … (3 comments)

massachusetts: The Massachusetts North Shore (Profile) - 05/03/07 07:08 AM
The North Shore is a unique area, one that we who live here treasure and those who visit thrill to discover. Linda and I have made the region our home and never tire of new discoveries - by boat or by car, on bike or on foot. Historically, culturally, and recreationally, the North Shore is like no place else!
The North Shore can be reached by traveling north of Boston up the Atlantic coastline. Located between the City of Boston and the New Hampshire border are quaint seacoast villages, summer resorts, industrial centers and residential suburbs which comprise this very special region.

How would you like to know when the real estate market has hit the bottom and prices can be expected to appreciate again? Wouldn't that knowledge be worth a great deal? Well, believe it or not, I can tell you when that will happen. And if you want, I will share my knowledge with you.
You see, it's actually not all that difficult to forecast. The reason for our current depreciating real estate market is simply that more homes are coming ON the market than are going OFF the market. About 19 months ago in the area I sell real estate (the … (20 comments)

massachusetts: A Commodity in Danger of Becoming a Liability - 02/11/07 12:52 PM
Have you noticed that many For Sale signs (especially on the Massachusetts North Shore) appear to have put down roots on the front lawns of the homes for sale? And how about the number of signs dotting our neighborhoods? It's staggering!
In some instances, it appears that the only people that are not clear on the direction the real estate market has been going for the past 18 months are the ones with the "rooted" For Sale signs. You see, homes are still selling at a decent pace on the North Shore. But frequently it is the new listings that are accounting … (2 comments)
