See below for the stats on November in MIllis.  If we only look at homes sold (single family) we may be a bit shocked that in 2011 we only sold 50% of what was sold in November of 2010.  End of year 2011 in Millis is running a bit more slowly than in 2010 but other stats are solid, average home size, sold price per sq ft and the number of days on market year over year is very similar.  This may be telling us that the market is starting to stabilize  A more telling analysis will be year over year - Watch for that report for Millis early in January. Incidentally 3 condos sold in Nov 2010 and 1 condo   sold in Nov 2011 along with 1 multi - So a bit slower than last November on all residential types.

I don't have alot of experience with foreclosures, primarily due to the fact that I haven't been successful in completing a transaction though several attempts have been made.  It always seemed that the bank wouldn't respond in a timely fashion and my buyer would walk.  If not, the bank would take months to respond, my client would negotiate and then nothing from the bank again for months. Well my most recent offer on a foreclosure was countered in 2 days!  And those days included part of the weekend!  Hopefully these transactions, though created out of a not so happy situation, can be cleaned up and closed quickly by the banks in the coming days to allow for happier times in these homes sitting vacant.

The Charles Cafe Millis MA Just Opened Their Bar! For years, "The Charles"  located on the banks of the Charles River on route 109 exactly on the Medfield/Millis line was a favorite spot to head down to for dinner and or drinks.  The food was good, exotic it was not, and the bar was one where you might find a group of guys sitting around playing cards or just the kind of place you could drop into after work and see your friends for a quick one before heading home.    One thing for sure, it was a friendly place where everyone knew your name  or if they didn't they quickly would.  A comfortable kind of place!     The very long time owner and legend, a former Marine, affectionately known as "Buckshot", moved on and passed the restaurant bar on too.     It closed for a long time leaving the...

A Millis MA home buyer should receive a brochure, Home Inspectors Facts for Consumers Sheet, at the time of the signing of the first written contract to purchase.A standard home inspection in Massachusetts is a visual examination of the physical structure and major interior systems of a residential building consisting of one to four dwelling units. It should be understood that there are certain risks inherent in the purchase of property and a home inspection is inherently limited in its scope and depth. The information gained from home inspection conforming to the Massachusetts Home Inspector Standards of Practice may reduce some of those risks, but the home inspection is not intended to provide the client with protection from all of the risks involved.Visit the Millis MA Home Inspector...

Millis, Massachusetts This past week was broker tour week in Millis.  Last Thursday I previewed 14 homes in Millis.  There is quite a variety of homes in Millis based on price and style. There’s something for everyone whether you want a colonial in a neighborhood or a surprise contemporary in the woods.  It’s important for real estate agents to know and view the inventory in the towns of their expertise.  If they are going to give you the best service, as a buyer or a seller, they need to know the homes first hand. Before working with an agent as a buyer ask them if they have already seen the homes they are going to show you. If you are selling your house, ask the agent if they have been in the homes they are using as comparable to price your home.  If they haven’t, how can you be sure ...

Millis, Massachusetts   It’s been one full year since I start blogging about the weekly Millis market! Due to its size Millis typically doesn’t have as active a real estate market as neighboring towns.  In 2009, Millis sold 56 single family homes compared to 122 in Medway and 111 in Medfield.  For that reason, Millis won’t have lots of activity week to week.  Though we did see movement this week with some new properties coming on the market and some being sold or going under agreement. Single Family Homes Currently there are 43 single family homes on the market in Millis.  The houses have an average list price of $431,000 and an average market time of 94 days.  There are ten properties available for $300,000 or less. On the upper end of the scale, there are two property listing for $700...
