Bill, nice summary for Ashland homes - it certainly seems like this area has held up pretty well !! I love your market reports by the way, very informative and easy to read.

Chris & Stephanie - Thanks for the compliments on my Real Estate report. Ashland did fair better than some of the other local towns in my area.

Bill - Already getting around to Market Reports, huh? I must give you the Most Hardworking Realtor(R) award. If I ever move to Metrowest area, you bet I only can count on Bill Gassett to be my Realtor(R) even if I'm one myself. My standing ovation to you, my dear friend. Success for 2009 is in your near horizon. I can feel it. Can you?

Hey Bill, do you find that a lot of people click on these reports by checking out BlogLog? I still like how you do this...;-)

Great information here, Bill. How did things compare to the prior month? We saw sme dramatic changes, in a positive way.

Jeff

Bill, I love reading your market reports, and I'm with Loreena...you'd be my REALTOR in a hot second if I moved to the Metrowest area! Have a wonderful, happy 2009!

Good report! I just finished my market stats as well. Great to see that DOM are down a bit... perhaps a little light at the end of the tunnel? : ) Happy New Year!

Bill,

It looks like Ashland is the place to be right now. This could be the bright spot in your area.

Loreena - thanks for the compliments on my Ashland Market report. They do take some time to put together.

Teri - Yes I get quite a few visitors checking out my local market reports.

Jeff - They were about the same. Real Estate sales are traditionally slower at this time of year for us with the Winter weather change and holidays.

Liz - Ashland overall has done better than some of the other local towns. Many of the homes fall into an attractive price point.

Don - Ashland is a solid town for Real Estate.

Bill I will agree with everyone that you do a great job with your market reports. Anyone considering a real estate transaction should give you a call, you certainly know your markets.

Bill- I used to drive through Ashland Calfornia many a year. I did not know that there was an Ashland Massachusetts.

Jennifer thank you very much for your compliments on my market reports. The reports do take a lot of effort to put together as I do them for ten towns in the Metrowest area.

Katerina - There is also an Ashland in Oregon as well:)
