Spring sprung - South Shore, Mass.

Steady as she goes!  I am always bemused when I see the look on locals faces when they hear that our market conditions right now in Scituate are good.  They seem very surprised - as well they should be...  The national "doomsday" media has them all believing that the sky is falling yet again.  While we were not unscathed by the foreclosure/down market, overall, we are remaining steady with sales.  The new commuter rail has been a great added benefit and has drawn many from the Boston area.  Gas prices have increased ridership substantially.  Soon, families will be going back to the old days of a one-car family with Daddy taking the train...  Cohasset is also doing well.  The condo market has slowed considerably.  My buyer clients are not remotely interested in them.  Even those that are great deals are not seeing the activity they should.  Norwell single family homes are not fairing very well.  Not sure why. Could be the coast draws more interest? Although, that would not explain Marshfield ;) sales also being down.  The summer market will hopefully see the continuation of activity.
