massachusetts: Chandler Quadrangle, Duxbury, 2013 market report
- 02/25/14 11:25 PM
The Chandler Quadrangle is an area that contains about 800 single-family homes. In 2013, 30 of those homes changed hands. I've included two lists, sorted by price and by address, below, showing the particulars of each sale. There are four homes for sale in the Chandler Quadrangle now (February 25, 2014). That's pretty low, suggesting correctly that properly prepared, properly priced homes are attracting willing and able buyers to this attractive and popular area. There are few properties for sale, and there are prepared buyers in the market, pre-approvals in hand, looking for the right property when it hits the market. 30 single-family homes sold in (5 comments)

Here's a very helpful graph! It shows how Duxbury home prices climbed in the early years of the last decade, topped out in 2005, and then declined to their 2002 levels in 2010, and have remained in a narrow price band for the last three years. What's important for homeowners to notice and, hopefully, take to heart, is that the prices home buyers paid between 2003 and 2008 were abnormally high. Even from today's price levels, the median price paid per square foot would have to increase 15-25% to begin to reach (8 comments)

Everyone has a dream town: a place they long to live, a place they live already, or even a place they have yet to find. The Boston Globe sought to match its readers with their dream towns with its Dreamtown Finder. The online tool asks users their priorities and then matches them with their ideal Massachusetts community based on a wide array of data. Everyone has a different set of criteria, of course, but the factors we chose for the tool include the following: schools (SAT scores), fun (movie theaters, restaurants), hipster (number of colleges, Starbucks, (10 comments)

massachusetts: Homes sold in Norwell - December 2013
- 01/21/14 08:29 AM
Norwell, Massachusetts, has become a surging little market on the South Shore over the past year. December was better than a year ago, and all the numbers have been moving in the direction of sellers' advantage most of the year. Many market watchers and professional participants expect a substantial number of homes to come on the market this spring but, for the time being, there aren't many available. With sales happening promptly and at higher prices (and higher prices per square foot), sellers are in a strong position. Buyers with a pre-approval in hand will be in a good position to act, if (5 comments)

massachusetts: Johnny Hoy and the Bluefish

Dateline: Saturday night, Plymouth MA Subject: Johnny Hoy and the Bluefish These guys have been rocking the South Shore and the Cape and Islands for years! I had no idea they were playing nearby last night until I walked past a sandwich board on the street in Plymouth announcing that they were playing in the back right then. I had to go in. Had to. So many good summer memories from those wistful days of youth. Brought it all back. And it still feels good! The dancing crowd was filled with kids from 20 to 70. He's such a great (8 comments)
massachusetts: Pretty cool Emerson chalkboard
- 01/18/14 02:17 AM
I just showed a house that is being well-lived in. That is, there is stuff everywhere because the occupants are enjoying life. We looked past it, knowing why, and loving it. There's always something that grabs me in each place I go. This permanent piece of artwork was hung on the chimney. Such good words to hold.

massachusetts: A 1% rise in interest rates will make your mortgage 12% more expensive
- 01/15/14 01:01 AM
Many economists and market watchers are predicting that interest rates will rise in 2014. Generally, the consensus estimate seems to be that the average mortgage rate will increase from about 4.5% now to about 5.%% by the end of the year. If it happens, that 1% rise would raise the monthly payment on a mortgage by over 12%. The same increase, 1% higher than current levels, cuts your purchasing power - the size of the house you can afford to buy - by 10%. Mortgage interest rates are trading around 4 1/2% At 4.5%, the monthly payment per $100,000 of principal loan amount (23 comments)
