Summer Surprises! What Really Happened in Real Estate...

More Sales and More Price Changes in Sudbury
There were lots of headlines and news stories during the summer about fewer homes sales and higher prices.

While that is true for most places, all real estate is local and you may be surprised that Y-T-D through 7/31, there were actually more sales and either flat or lower sale prices in some of the towns west of Boston. The other data that is not reported are price reductions; even in the hot seller's market, there were price reductions. Reading headlines can be misleading and there were home-sellers who thought they could list their houses for whatever price they wanted and after a while on the market realized that correct pricing matters in any market. 

Contact me anytime if you are interested in information about other towns or specific properties.

Hilltop Townhouse in Maynard | Short Sale $232,000


Hilltop Townhouse at Oak Ridge - 4 Finished Levels - Privacy, Views

If you have been looking for a great opportunity to buy a townhouse, check out this short sale listing at Oak Ridge in Maynard for a spacious 4-level townhouse with 2 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, central air-conditioning, fireplace, and parking for 2 cars, privacy, views, and a community pool that has just been listed for $232,000! It is an easy location for commuting on Route 117 to Waltham/Route 128 or west to Route 495 or the commuter rail in Acton, West Concord, or Lincoln. Minutes to Maynard center shops, restaurants, movies, arts, farmers’ market; parks, hiking trails, and of course, everyone’s summer favorite Erickson’s Ice Cream! Everything you need for comfort and convenience at an affordable price.
While it is always difficult for a homeowner to make the decision to go forward the short sale process, for many people it is their best option for being able to move on, and having these properties come to market can be a great opportunity for a buyer who is not on a tight deadline for moving. Other than time, patience, and some extra paperwork, buying a short sale is really no different than buying any other property. A qualified short sale buyer can have a mortgage and a home inspection contingency, although don’t expect a seller who is underwater to make repairs, and if it’s a condominium you will be able to your attorney review the condo documents and do your due diligence.

"Marilyn handled the short sale of my home in Wayland, MA. She did a great job with our property & had it under agreement in the blink of an eye. As with all short sales, the bank makes it difficult for everyone involved. However, Marilyn kept the buyers and the sellers up to date at every turn and she even handled all signing of documents electronically which made life so much easier, especially seeing as I was living out of state. She also had to deal with both myself and my ex, we are very much estranged, and she was even able to navigate those difficult waters with ease. She faced many challenges in handling the sale of this property and she overcame each one easily and with great professionalism. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Marilyn to anyone looking for a buyers or sellers agent!!" Kimberly Bellavance, Wayland
