Shirley MA is located off of Route 2 between Harvard and Leominster MA, and is bisected by Route 2A. A small town with a well-appointed library and new municipal buildings and middle school, 2000′s census claimed that Shirley was called “home” by more than 6000 people.

Shirley has a large historic district and was named  Most Historic Small Town by ePodunk, based on:

     

  • the number of buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places
  • the size of National Register Historic Districts,
  • the age of housing, and
  • the number of projects awarded a federal preservation tax credit
  •

Diane...nice work keeping consumers updated on your area. We too find that the buying public want as much info as possible on an area before purchasing a home.

I hope we have a busy fall too - July is showing a huge amount of inventory, although with a smaller town two or three sales can impact the look of the graph. 

With this much inventory, buyers have the best chance of negotiating a good deal. And you can't beat the mortgage rates!

A positive is that the Shirley School System recently regionalized with Ayer, and that should improve both systems. My older kids school-choiced intothe Harvard school system, and my youngest is starting at NCCES this fall - charter school in Fitchburg.
