marblehead ma: Pay It Forward - "You Dropped Your Money!" - 12/17/10 04:34 AM
A couple days ago my partner and I helped a client clean out their basement in preparation of putting the property on the market.  We took a couple of loads of trash to the dump in my partners truck.  On one of the trips to the dump my partner stopped at the bank in town to cash a check and I waited in the truck while he did his errand.  Just after he went in the bank I noticed a woman leaving the bank at a brisk pace, talking on her cell phone with one hand and fishing in her pocket … (7 comments)

marblehead ma: Pay It Forward - Pick It UP! - 12/12/10 06:22 AM
I have a very wonderful Big Chocolate Lab "who" I take out a number of times a day for a walk.  The walk is great  I get some exercise, chat with the neighbors and get some fresh air.  Also, along the walk I notice how litter collects in the unattended areas.  Like most dog walkers I carry a couple plastic bags (recycled grocery bags) that are likely to be needed along my journey.  The other day while bent over cleaning up after Mr. Dog I noticed that an empty designer water bottle was within reach and some other litter was also … (6 comments)

marblehead ma: Pay it Forward - Christmas Walk - 12/03/10 01:48 PM
Every year over the first weekend of December our local Chamber of Commerce puts on a Holiday kick off called "Christmas Walk" for our local merchants with a tree lighting Friday eve and a Santa parade on Saturday morning.
A number of years ago I was involved in a local Veteran Firemans's organization that has an old horse drawn fire engine. Despite quite a bit of resistance at first from the group I convinced them to get  involved in the "Christmas Walk" activites which they had not done before. 
After alot of sweat and perserverance we opened our Hall, which is … (5 comments)

marblehead ma: Salem MA, Howling Wolf Taqueria - A Terrific New Mexican Style Restuarant! - 11/30/10 11:22 AM
Good Mexican food is hard to find on the North Shore, No Longer!  The Howling Wolf Taqueria located across Derby Street from the Central Fire Station is a needed and great addition to Salem's growing selection of "to-die-for" restaurants.  This amazing eatery has an upbeat atmosphere with lots of bright colors, high ceilings, paintings, great music and friendly service.  
It's a perfect Mexican South West style taqueria with no tablecloths, self service, and great prices.  A Carne Deshebrada Burrito (shredded beef in a spicy tomato sauce) comes with rice, beans, cheese and a choice of salsas all for only $6.75 and … (3 comments)

marblehead ma: Pay It Forward - Lucky Parking Space - 11/27/10 02:17 PM
While on my way to the Assessor's and Zoning Offices at City Hall the other day I found a terrific parking space directly across the street from City Hall.  As I pulled into the space I noticed an older gentleman rummaging around in the car in front of me.  I noticed he continued rummaging around as I walked to the parking meter, to my surprise it was my lucky day, I didn't need to put a quarter in the meter, there was plenty of time left on the meter to do all my errands at City Hall.
By this time the … (4 comments)

marblehead ma: Pay It Forward - "Smile It Doesn't Cost You Anything!" - 11/20/10 05:19 AM
When I was a child my Dad insisted that I practice common courtesy to others.  He usually would say things like "It doesn't cost you anything to smile at a stranger!" or "It doesn't cost you a thing to say Thank You!" or  "It doesn't cost anything to be polite!" etc. etc.
This past week on a sunny afternoon while I hurried to the Bank's door I caught the eye of an older lady headed in the same direction.  We both smiled at each other and as I approached the door I held it for her.  When we entered the Bank's … (7 comments)

Marblehead MA market stats for single family home sales as of 9/30/2010 show good news and some not-so good news in year to year quarterly comparisons.
As a residential real estate appraiser and broker in the Marblehead market area I love to crunch the numbers to keep abreast of our market trends.  I've been anxiously waiting to analyze the 1st quarter data since the end of the home buyer tax incentives for the single family home market here in Marblehead (zip code 01945).
According to MLSPIN in the Marblehead Zip Code 01945 all single family sales are as follows:
