Are Sturbridge Home Sales Improving?
 
Recent reports show that month-over-month home sales are on the rise across the country.  However, when it comes to real estate, local conditions prevail.  This report shows month-over-month single family home sale in Sturbridge, Massachusetts, for 2010 compared to 2011.
 

Data source: MLS PIN
Looking at the graph above, you will notice that 2011 sales are ahead of 2010 figures for the months of January, February, and April.  Sales in 2010 were higher in the months of March and May, most likely due to the $8000 tax credit offered to first-time home buyers … (0 comments)

"I Want a Deal" - 3 Tips for Getting a Real Estate Deal in Sturbridge MA

1.  Hire a buyer's agent and get access to the MLS.  With the availability of information on the Internet, many buyers try to go it alone.  They do research online.  They sign up for listings on dozens of real estate sites.  … (8 comments)

Wow! Under Contract in 11 Days in Sturbridge, MA


There is a property in Sturbridge, MA, that was on the market for just 11 days before being marked as Under Agreement in the MLS.
In a market that has been described as slow, having a property under contract in just 11 days is quite a feat. I am excited to see this type of activity in Sturbridge.  How did the sellers and their agent do it?

sturbridge homes: Sturbridge Snowstorm - 03/17/09 12:53 PM
For those of you who miss the snow, here is a video I made of our snowstorm of March 2, 2009. We had over a foot of snow overnight, and another 3-4 inches later that day. This video was filmed at around 6 AM. No plow had been down the road yet, so I was able to make first tracks! All of that has melted now, of course, as spring starts to peek out around us. This was probably the last storm of the season. I hope you enjoy it.
