real estate: Home Buyer Tax Credits ~ A Stimulus Package that could Actually Work! - 02/29/08 08:36 AM
 

Housing markets across most parts of the United States are facing their greatest downturn since the great depression.
The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) has proposed to Congress an additional stimulus package that I believe actually has a chance to make a real difference. This new stimulus package would create a tax credit for the purchase of a home.
 Recently, NAHB chief economist David Seiders told the Senate Finance Committee that "Tax credits for the purchase of a home are a means of eliminating excess inventory, relieving some of the pressure on falling housing prices and ending the … (13 comments)

real estate: Real Estate & Homes ~ Realtors ~ Massachusetts Real Estate Market - 02/23/08 06:43 AM
The Real Estate market has changed quite a bit over the course of the last three years in Massachusetts. The prices of homes in the Metrowest MA region have continued to drop. The peak in the Real Estate market in Massachusetts occurred in the Spring of 2005.
What many home sellers fail to realize is that if you need to sell your home now and purchased anytime between the middle of 2004 and the end of 2007, you are most likely going to lose money. You are in all likely hood not going to be able to sell your home for what … (21 comments)

real estate: The Dummies Guide to Agency and buying & selling a home in Massachusetts - 07/29/07 08:17 AM
Agency law has changed on numerous occasions in Massachusetts over the past decade for the types of representation that can occur. I will try to break it down into its simplest terms for the laymen to understand.
      SELLER'S AGENT- A Seller's agent works exclusively for the seller. A seller can engage the services of Realtor to sell his or her home. This is often refereed to as the "Listing agent". In this instance the agent works for the seller. The agent owes the seller undivided loyalty, reasonable care, disclosure, and obedience to lawful instruction, confidentiality and accountability, provided, however, that the agent must disclose … (0 comments)

real estate: When a seller does the unexpected....One of my best clients in 21 years! - 07/25/07 05:37 AM
 
The owner of one of the properties that I just sold this past week at 10 Redwood Drive in Milford Massachusetts did something that I will never forget. It actually started about a year prior when I had their home on the market in 2006. I had put the home on the market and did the typical marketing efforts that I would on any home I am selling in the Metrowest MA area. It went under agreement a few months after I initially listed it. I drew up all the contracts and attended the inspections as any good Realtor would.
