New Listings this weekend
By Mark LessesWe’ve listed 2 properties this weekend. The first is a charming fixer upper in the Arlmont section of Arlington (it is on the Belmont side of route 2) This 3 bedroom Cape has been in the same family for the past 40 years. Located in a quiet neighborhood, 38 Standish Road will be open Sunday from 12-2pm. Hope to see you there!
We also listed a Commercial property in Winchester. This retail/ office space is located at 14 Skillings Road across the street from the Stop & Shop. This property can be used for many types of businesses and could also be developed into a multi-unit building.
Mothers Day 2008 – The Breakdown
By Mark LessesWe are at the midpoint of the Spring market. Below is an On the Market Snapshot comparing last years inventory levels to this years. As you can see there is quite a difference;
Single Family Homes Condominiums Multi-family
2007—2008—2007—2008—2007—2008
67 48 -28% 84 73 -13% 30 13 -56%
These numbers are for sales volume (how many houses are on the market) Because we are in a supply and demand business this is important. The tight inventory translates into a solid foundation for home prices in Arlington. This bears out as we experience multiple offers and very busy open houses. Happy Buying and Selling! MFL
