Act Now!  The price for a 1-ounce First-Class Mail stamp is going to increase from 42¢ to 44¢ starting on May 11.

As of April 30, 2009, there were 125 single family listings in Needham and Needham Heights on the Multiple Listing Service (MLSPin).  During April, 41 new single family listings were added to our MLSPin and an additional 2 single family homes were relisted for sale on the MLS, with an average list price of $956,849.   Market absorption rates have normalized in Needham; meaning that it is neither a buyers nor a seller's market, in general.  However, as with many communities in the Metrowest area, inventories of "luxury homes" are increasing as buyers demonstrate their preference for smaller, more affordable … (0 comments)

Natick and South Natick, MA Market Activity Report as of April 30, 2009 - 05/02/09 05:05 PM
