metrowest real estate: Kudos Received and Welcomed!
- 02/15/12 06:17 AM
Flying High - After a real estate listing of mine that was put up for sale and just started showings on Sunday and went under agreement 48 hours later. Since this was a referral, the referring broker thought it was "awesome" and noted "very impressive work". Those are always good words to hear from your referring broker. Why though .... did it go under agreement so quickly? Well, pricing, we know, is the number one way to get a home under agreement quickly and clearly pricing was an incentive here - Other factors were very helpful - like the home was … (4 comments)

metrowest real estate: The Stars Align for you in 2012 - When Mortgage Rates bump the bottom!
- 01/02/12 04:08 AM
We've all been busy with the biggest holiday season of the year so you may have missed this. Take a look at CNN's article mid December tracking the mortgage rates since 2002 - For any buyer who thinks there may be a home purchase for them in 2012,record low rates and very attractive home prices make home buying SO affordable in 2012, it's silly not to consider the move now . Clearly the Metrowest spring home sale market will be robust because of these rates. So start early and avoid the rush! In fact, I just got an update on … (5 comments)
So the past week has been hectic – I’m not sure if you’re observing the same thing I am but negotiations seem to take longer and longer – And sometimes I yearn for those days when you would wrap up the negotiation process in a few hours . And now ? It’s not unusual that the discussions can extend a week or longer before pen hits the paper.
So when you have 3 negotiations going as I did this week – it can get confusing – Could be 20 – … (1 comments)

- 10/09/11 03:44 AM
To all my relatives and friends this Thanksgiving Day in Canada - Hope you have a wonderful, peaceful, thankful day with your friends and families Having family in CA since I was born I find it interesting how this day of Thanksgiving has grown over the years in CA - I truly don't remember it being celebrated 30 or 40 years ago - Maybe our Canadian friends can comment on that. Nonetheless - we all need a day of thanks - a day to be introspective to think about all the things for which we are appreciative. And a nice Turkey … (3 comments)
metrowest real estate: Medway's History
- 10/11/08 11:56 PM
Great News! The town of Medway is seeking to list a portion of its southeastern corner in the National Register of Historic Homes. At this point the State Historical Commission has recently endorsed our bid. This area will be known as the Medway Village Historic District, its name given by our local Historical Commission. To give you a feel for the location of this newly defined district, start at Charles River on the south, and the town's railroad bed on the north. Oakland street would form its eastern boundary and Holliston St on the western boundary. A portion of Village Street … (0 comments)
metrowest real estate: Life in a small town Can be Intersting if You're Open to New Things!
- 09/21/08 04:45 AM
Ok - so it's not so small and not so far away from a big city. Medway, in fact, is a bedroom community, where the exit roads are filled from 6-9 in the a.m. and from 3-7pm as workers manage their way to and from work. There is a country feel to this town. It was in fact, a farming area not too many years ago and still a few farms thrive in the area. But a tractor pull in Medway seems to be a bit of a strange aberration I've seen the signs before announcing the event. I've often … (1 comments)
metrowest real estate: It's Flat - But Flat is GOOD !
- 09/21/08 01:11 AM
I know = It's not the end of the third quarter so why am I talking about 3rd quarter statistics? - Because just around this time I'm itching to see how our real estate sales compare to last year. I know - All real estate is local so I'm not about to make generalized predictions on what I'm seeing, but just as I can't wait to look to see how we compare to last year (the end of quarter is less than 10 days away and I'm factoring in any homes under agreement), I also have to look first at my home … (0 comments)
metrowest real estate: Medway -first in the state of MA to....
- 09/18/08 12:04 AM
Medway Ma is rarely in the spotlight as the First in the State for anything but yesterday we did make the headlines as the first in the state to provide a “Minute Clinic” in our local CVS. No one is surprised in the fast paced environment we live in, that some day we would try to make the time draining process of seeing your doctor a more efficient task. SO here it is ~ Good or Bad! Walk to the Pharmacy area of CVS and you will see patient rooms offering same day service for simple things like vaccinations and … (1 comments)
metrowest real estate: Why Live in Medway - Part 2
- 06/07/08 06:03 AM
As you're considering a home for your family, one of the top concerns is whether the school system will work well for your children. If you're considering MetroWest, just thought I'd share some good news about the Medway School System. According to the The Massachusetts Department of Education in its 2007 Graduation Rate Report. Medway High School's 4-Year graduation rate of all students is 98.1. This graduation rate ranked Medway High 7th best out of the 281 districts reporting in Massachusetts. And according to a February 2008 article in the Boston Globe, Medway High School ranked 27th out of 341 high … (0 comments)
I know you've noticed this if you are a realtor. What is it about a vacation that causes a burst of business the 48 hours preceding a trip away? Ok, maybe in the spring we should expect to be wading through a short sale offer with a buyer as we pack our running shoes into the packed corner of our carry-on luggage. Spring is, of course, for the North East market, the busiest time of year. But still, weeks can go by with not much happening, but just dust off your suitcase and the buyers and sellers come out … (5 comments)
metrowest real estate: March Madness in the Real Estate Market in MetroWest Boston
- 03/29/08 04:12 AM
It's been "March Madness" in the news this month when it comes to Real Estate. We had Good News and Bad - The good news came out just last week when Boston.com noted that "Sales of Homes May Be Nearing the Bottom". They noted that the number of sales in February in Massachusetts (tracked by the Warren Group) was basically the same as in January ~ even slightly improved. While the median price of a single family home in Ma has dropped (they noted 9% in the past 12 months), this may be a plus as buyers need to be enticed … (1 comments)
