Although there are 47 single family homes currently on the market for sale in Medway, Ma. But of those 47 homes for sale, 9 of them are flagged as having an offer accepted. So in actuality, there are only 38 homes ready for new buyers in this metrowest community. Over the past 5 years, I've watched the spring inventory of single family homes and it usually hovers around 100 to 110 homes. So it's understandable that buyers are feeling a bit frustrated by the lack of options out there. Because it feels like spring in New England, (tomorrow is supposed to hit close to 60 degrees), buyers expect to see the number of homes they'd generally see later in the season. What's a seller to do? If you're a seller who has a home to list this spring, DON"T WAIT TO LIST. Call me to help you expedite th... 02/21/2012

Interesting year in Medway for Real Estate Sales.  It's been a long while since a home for as low as $112k but a small cape in need of repair did sell for that price in 2011 - the lowest price point for a single family home - On the flip side we had another home sell in the new Applegate Development that sold for $1.38 million - Those were the extremes - We had a solid year on the high end and had a few real bargains in town.  To read about the specifics feel free to review the report on Medway's Real Estate Market in 2011.  To compare 2011 to 2010 we can see the market is stabilizing.  Look how similar the numbers look year over year.   01/10/2012

ItIt's exciting to note we're one step closer to getting a project manager hired to assist in a detailed design plan for the Thayer Homestead in Medway, an historic homestead abutting our beautiful Choate Park.   Last November the town voted to fund a schematic design to provide more project detail to bring to the town for a final vote to build. The homestead is unique in a number of ways. It's unique because of its historical significance, part of the mill history of Medway. It's also unique because of its beautiful location - on a knoll overlooking the Pond at Choate Park. You may have noticed (and have wondered) what was up with the property which consists of the home, the barn and the beautiful almost 4 acres overlooking the pond. The house itself has been boarded up for a number of... 01/05/2012

A Franklin home has found its new residents! The last work day of the year and these buyers managed to close on the home of their dreams! This home is a classic farmhouse design with a beautiful porch overlooking an idyllic yard - providing peace and serenity with its close to 2 acres of open land. Luckily prior owners had addressed all the worries of buying an antique, replacing systems and windows and then restoring many of the floors. I love the enormous kitchen in this home. It will be the focal point for this new family!     12/31/2011

Some, maybe most people, in town don't know about Sanford Mills. They're surprised to find out there is a condo complex on the River Charles in Medway situated right at the water falls that can be seen from Sanford St (Lincoln St as it crosses the river into Franklin). The complex has been around since the early 90's as a real estate complex. Prior to that it was vacant for a while, but was once a thriving mill. In fact one of the prior owners whose home I sold in the past few years tells me she remembered when her Grandfather worked there and she was so excited to have one of the units in the building where he was a supervisor. Her unit like some others hat an UNBELIEVABLE view of the water fall over the dam. The complex currently is owner occupied. There are a few rentals (I think les... 12/28/2011

Sales for residential homes in November has been running exactly the same as this time last year.  We sold 7 single family homes in November which is exactly the same number of homes in November of 2010.  But that's where the similarities end.   The average list and sale price was lower in 2010.  Does that mean we're seeing appreciation year over year?  No.  In November of 2010, we sold smaller homes with less living area.  In actuality the per sq foot sale price has dropped over 2010  Average Sale$ per Sq ft   has dropped to $136 from $150 per sq ft in November of 2010 - That's about a 10% drop -  Because this is such a small sampling (7 homes and 1 month) I wouldn't make assumptions about the entire year.  Stay tuned for our end of year reporting in about one month.                   ... 12/07/2011

A Special Town Meeting is scheduled for November 14 at 7pm at the High School. If you've been to town meetings years ago, you'll be pleasantly surprised how efficiently the meetings are now run.

A wise woman once said, “The best response to the long list of social ills is to put into effect the Noah principle. That is, stop looking for credit for predicting the rain, its time to start building an ark.”, I guess you could say, I've observed the Noah Principle in my town of Medway. I’m involved with a committee that has been formed to advise the selectmen about what to do with a particular property in Medway – The Thayer Homestead. The Thayer Homestead is a town owned property that has historic significance. The homestead and barn is still on the property and we, the Thayer Homestead Development Committee (THDC) have recommended a use for the property that will benefit the town and its residents. To learn more about that project, check out my Youtube video when I first started o... 10/06/2011
