Happy Summer...
but winter is coming!
Updated July 21, 2010
This morning I was with a relocation client looking at homes in Acton. The home we happened to be in has oil heat, and she turned to me and asked "What's the going rate for oil right now?" Ummmmmm....I have natural gas at my house, I have no idea!
I did a little research, and look what I found...
I live in Massachusetts in Zone 11, but take a look at the map and decide where you're located. How cool to price shop so quickly and easily!
It's no secret, we're pretty fortunate to live in Middlesex County for a lot of reasons, and one of them is the surge in home sales these past few months. Take a look at the town statistics below, things are really moving! We've had a little dip in activity this past month, but buyers are still out there looking.
Looking for a quick way to check open houses?
The best way I know is to use Boston.com. They get daily feeds directly from MLS, so all of the open houses are available to you. There are only a few brokerage firms still using the Sunday papers, partly because it's just so darn expensive and partly because the majority of buyers rely on the internet as their primary source of information. If you depend on the paper alone you're going to miss out! This is what you do:
-
Log into www.Boston.com and click on the Homes tab on the top of the page.
-
A search panel will come up on the left hand side of the page, click on Open House.
-
Type in your criteria and make your list!! It doesn't get any easier than this, it's one stop shopping!
For local Realtors, our newest challenge will be the lack of available housing inventory. I personally have four different clients who have sold their homes and will be living in temporary housing until they can find something to buy. Assume that most full-time Realtors have the same situation, and you can see where this is going! If you're thinking about selling, this really is going to be a great summer to do it.
CHECK OUT A COUPLE OF MY CURRENT LISTINGS...MORE SOON!
These are some of my sold listings and how I marketed them. I always use professional photos and floor plans along with a great custom website that really features the house. I also take full advantage of all the best online real estate marketing available. Contact me if you'd like to make an appointment to talk about listing your home!
