A condominium is a shared form of property ownership that includes 1) a divided interest - the inside of an apartment, townhouse, part of a duplex, a unit in a mult-family, or detached home; 2) an undivided interest, i.e. roofs, exterior siding, recreational facilities, elevators, etc.; 3) and there can also be exclusive use areas, i.e. parking spaces, decks, balconies, garden areas.

If you are a first time home buyer, you can generally get more living space for the same price as a single-family home, developments tend to be newer, and some offer amenities such as swimming pools, tennis courts, fitness centers.

If you are just too busy or not interested in working around the house, owning a condominium is a good option for you. Exterior maintenance is taken care of by the homeowner association so you don't have to be concerned about exterior painting, landscaping, snow plowing, roof replacement, etc. - the benefits of home ownership without a lot of the work!

A lot of empty-nesters are ready for a change and have someone else take care of things, especially during the winter months! Wouldn't it be nice to just lock the door and go somewhere warm next winter without having to worry about who's going to shovel?

There are a variety condominium options for people over 55+/active seniors in Sudbury, Concord, Wayland, Hudson, Acton, and many of the nearby towns including resales and  new construction. Click here to see condominiums for sale.

Condo living is a great lifestyle if you're someone who wants easy living; doesn't mind having close neighbors; is OK with letting other people make decisions, or is willing to volunteer to be on the Homeowners Association Board of Trustees (HOA), and won't mind trading some personal freedoms in return for convenience.

Buyers know that condominiums/homeowner associations have rules that govern the community. Any offer to purchase a condominium should include a contingency that says the offer is "subject to satisfactory review/acceptance of all documents..." 

Most HOA (Home Owner association) rules are pretty standard, and your attorney can tell you which ones you can expect to find in most places. However, communities can and do amend the rules over the years so rules can vary. Parking and pets and pools seem to be the biggest issues but there may also be rules about holiday decorations, gardening, decks, facility usage; bicycle and baby carriage storage, rental restrictions - some communities do not allow any rentals. Some associations restrict what vendors you can use to replace the windows and doors... Yes, units owners are often responsible for windows, doors; know what you will be responsible for.

Your lender will review the budget and send a questionnaire asking about the overall well being of the development - i.e. number of owner occupied units, if there are any pending lawsuits, special assessments; but as the buyer, it is really important for YOU to read the rules. Only you can know if you'll be comfortable living by the rules that govern the condo development you'll be sharing; and the best time to do that is before you make an offer. Once you accept the condominium rules (or not) you can move forward and enjoy the lifestyle that's right for you!

Having your own agent on your side will help you get the best deal.

Sudbury Real Estate Market Update - Sale Prices Up in May!

Sudbury MA - Sale Pending

Overall, the Sudbury market is similar to many of the desirable suburbs that are commutable
distances from Boston, Cambridge, and Waltham.

There are fewer single-family homes for sale that last year at this time. The number of closed sales both in May and year-to-date through May 31 is also less than in 2013 for the same time periods. Median sale prices are for closed sales were higher higher, and the luxury properties market is thriving again as is the 55+ condominium market.

Lower supply meant to increased competition among buyers and it was not unusual to see houses have accepted offers within a day or two; many receiving multiple offers/bidding wars. I am starting to see some closed sales with sale prices above asking. Keep in mind, it generally takes about 60 days to close from the time of an offer; the buying decisions for these houses were made a couple of months ago at the peak of the Spring market.

As busy as the market has been, there were still very single-family home sellers who had to reduce their list prices because their houses were not selling.

Here is the link to more details on my Trulia blog. Contact me at 508-596-3501 to discuss how the market effects your decision to buy or sell a house in Sudbury. Search for homes or request a market valuation for your home at www.marilynmesenger.com.

Sudbury MA Real Estate Update - 2013 Sales & Prices Up!

2013 was a good year for selling a house in Sudbury MA. Both the median sale price and the number of single-family homes sold were higher than in 2012. Although the median price was still lower than in 2005 when the housing market peaked, there were more homes sold.

Even in the hottest market, correct pricing matters and there were lots of price reductions during 2013 and there were also a number of "expired listings", houses that did not sell during their listing contract period. There are generally three reasons why houses do not sell, and pricing is number one. Home buyers search by price and if a property is not priced correctly in will not be exposed to the right buyers.

Current inventory and list prices in Sudbury are lower than they were last year at this time. Only 44 single-family houses for sale; the lowest I've ever seen! And home buyers are out there. I visited six public open houses yesterday to preview listings (a buyer agent should actually see the houses!) and gage market activity. Buyers are definitely out there! Anyone thinking about selling, now is the time to put your house on the market for sale. Don't wait for everyone else. "The early bird catches the worm!"

If you are thinking about buying a house, having your own buyer agent represent you is especially important when the market is so tight. As a buyer agent/broker, I will personally (in addition to automated systems) make sure you know about houses that come on the market right away and that you are prepared to move forward when you find home that's right for you.

How's the Sudbury Real Estate Market?

As in most places, the number of homes sold and median and average sale prices for single family homes in Sudbury during the first quarter of 2011 were down from the same period in 2010. There were 18 single family homes sold between 1/1 and 3/31/2011 compared with 22 in 2010. The 2011 first quarter median price was $556,000 and the average was $584,889. During Q1 2010 the median price was $646,250 and the average $710,000.

While that may sound discouraging for sellers and give buyers the idea that they can take their time and then make low offers, March and April have been substantially more active and there are 26 single family homes with offers accepted and 17 with sales pending. Sellers who priced their properties to position themselves in the marketplace as "good deals" or as Jordan's Furniture calls it "under-pricing", are getting offers pretty quickly. Others who want to use the price to show that their house is "better" are staying on longer.

Current list prices for single family homes range from $174,000 to $2,795,000; the median price is $849,900; last year at this time it was $876,750. The average list price is $965,531 compared with $1,020,914. The average time on the market is 168 days, last year at this time it was 176 days.

After this past winter, it's no wonder that a lot of people are thinking about owning a condominium. There are currently 25 luxury townhouses for sale in Sudbury with prices ranging from $459,900 to $699,000. Recent activity shows there are 5 with accepted offers and 4 with sales pending. First quarter sales for townhouses in Sudbury up slightly from first quarter last year; median and average prices were also higher.

If you are thinking about renting a property in Sudbury, there are only 5 available. Rents in Sudbury range from $1400 per month for a 2 bedroom, 1 bath unit, to $7,000 per month for an 18 room luxury home. When adding up the cost of a first, last, and one month security deposit plus the rental agent's fee, buying may be a better option.

Interest rates are still the lowest in decades, so it's a great time for buyers and sellers to make a move.

You Have the Right to Remain Silent.. Anything You Say..."

Anyone who has ever watched a crime show on TV can finish that sentence. We all know about Miranda rights when someone gets arrested. Hopefully, no one reading this blog will ever have to hear those words but there is a good chance that you or someone you know will at some point talk to a real estate agent or broker about buying or selling a home.

If you are like most people, you don’t think about “rights” or “relationships” when you contact a real estate agent; you just want information about a property or a town or about financing. The agent will ask questions about where you live, where you work, when you need to move, how much money you make, your source for financing, how much you want to spend on a property… all kinds of personal and financial information that you would want to have kept confidential; and certainly not shared when you want to win a negotiation.

Now this is not legal advice (you need a lawyer for that), just a heads up for buyers and sellers that in Massachusetts whenever a consumer asks a real estate licensee to discuss a particular property, the licensee must disclose in writing whose interests the licensees represent, the buyer or the seller, or both. Without such a warning consumers can make tactical mistakes in negotiating the best possible deal, such as disclosing their bottom line price to a real estate licensee who is actually the seller's representative..."anything you say can and will be used agains you..." How about a seller asking for advice about pricing their property; what if that agent represents a buyer who may have an interest... who does that agent work for?

A recent investigation by Patrick-Murray Administration's Division of Professional Licensure shows real estate licensees regularly fail to disclose whose interests they represent. Investigators found 94 percent of licensees checked were not in compliance in Boston. Pairs of investigators from the Division of Professional Licensure, posing as consumers, visited 200 real estate offices throughout Massachusetts and found that in only 12 instances, or 6 percent of the time, real estate licensees properly disclosed to consumers whose interests they represent.

Have you contacted a real estate agent lately…did they provide the Mandatory Licensee-Consumer Relationship Disclosure form for you to sign?

Wayland Real Estate Market - October Sales Up; Current Pendings Down

Welcome to the real estate market conditions report for Wayland MA for November 2010.


Overall, there are more single family homes for sale in Wayland than there were one year ago - 85 compared to 79, however, a closer look shows that in many price ranges there are actually fewer available. The price range with the largest decrease is $600,000 to $699,900 - last year at this time there were 11 homes for sale; currently there are only 7. The range with the highest increase is $250,000 to $299,000 - there are 10 compared to only 1 last year. Many of the homes that range are either short sale or banked-owned properties.

Eight of the "active" listings have offers accepted and are being shown until contingencies have been met. Additionally, there are 7 single-family homes with sales pending; there were 16 sales pending one month ago. Pending sales indicate recent activity.

List prices in Wayland range from $179,000 to $4,795,000. The median list price is $719,000; last year at this time it was $639,000. The average list price is $956,309 compared with $1,059,493 last year. Average time on the market for current listings is 199 days; a year ago it was 210 days.

Year-to-date, the number of single family homes sold sales was up over 2009 - 119 in 2010; 105 in 2009, and there was no significant change in median and average sale prices.

While median and average prices are helpful information, the market value of any property depends on the supply and demand which can vary greatly for each price range. It is important to understand your specific market when determining the list price that will attract the highest number of buyers; or if you are a buyer trying to determine what you are willing to pay.

For anyone looking for easy living, there are excellent opportunities in Wayland. There are 28 condominiums, including duplex and townhouse styles with prices ranging from $319,500 to $985,000.

Written Agreements Benefit Buyers

Most consumers know that if they want to “hire” a real estate broker/agent to sell their home and represent their interests, they must sign a contract. Realtors® cannot list a property and represent a seller without one. The contract clearly spells out the terms of the agreement including length of time, compensation and each party’s responsibility.

A buyer agency agreement/contract does the same thing. It is an agreement for an exclusive arrangement between a buyer and a broker/agent for a period of time. It spells out how much the agent is to be compensated and by whom – it is in the buyer’s best interest to be clear about this. It describes each party’s responsibility and obligation. It lists the geographical areas covered, as well as the home search method. The contract also explains the terms “dual agent” and “designated agent” – very important to understand before the negotiation process.

While buyer agency is not a new concept – it has been legal in MA for about 15 years and a couple of years ago the law that governs agency relationships was updated to further ensure consumer protection, many buyers and some agents still don’t understand the benefits of a written Buyer Agency Agreement/contract. I have had many buyers call me to ask for help finding a home and they tell me they have had disappointing experiences with their “buyer” agents. When I ask if they had a contract with these agents, they answer is almost always “no”. Well, of course they are disappointed!

Satisfaction is tied to expectation. Know what to expect – get it in writing!
