Before you make your next move be sure to visit City Hall
One of the things your REALTOR® should tell you before you buy or sell a home is to look up your property's jacket at City Hall. I stopped into the Inspectional Services Department at Newton City Hall and was greeted, as always, with friendly courtesy. I gave my address to Jennifer Garvin and she promptly returned with the folder of permits and applications for my Newton home. I already knew my house was built in 1927 but it was kind of strange to see the building permit written in fountain pen. The cost for building my home was estimated at $8,000. There were various other permits for different renovations done over the years. Everything looked in order. But image $8,000 in 1927! I guess Newton homes have held their value in the big picture. LOL!
