Today's Brookline TAB Blog piece about May home sales highlights a continuing trend in Brookline. Single family homes are not selling(only 5 in May). Condos are selling well(78 now, 74 last year). Pricing is down in condos slightly, but some of that is tied to a difference in data between MLSPIN and the Warren Group (taken from the Registry of Deeds). I've consistently kept my analysis tied

Did I miss a memo?Every day, on my way to and from the office, I drive down Dean Road between Beacon Street and Chestnut Hill Avenue. Recently a few houses have had little signs popping up on the front yards. Always one to see if these happen to be new listings I have closely followed the changes. These are not For Sale signs, though. It seems that all of the neighbors in this lovely Fisher

William Raveis Real Estate, my brokerage, was just awarded the Banker & Tradesman Best of 2008 Gold Award for Residential Real Estate. For those unfamiliar with the company, Raveis has consistently been one of the top three offices in Connecticut for over 20 years. This year we were ranked #29 in the "Top 100" offices nationwide, and from that group one of only 17 that saw a growth in sales

Obviously you all know I like to live here, and pretty much anyone who reads this either lives here, is planning on moving here, or also sells real estate here. So, for a lot of us this should not be too surprising. For those planning on

I came across a news story this week about an agent who was allegedly murdered by a former client while sitting in his Michigan office. According to various reports, agent Troy VanderStelt was in his office when a former client of his walked in and asked to meet with him. The pair entered a conference room when the client allegedly pulled out a hand gun and shot Mr. VanderStelt in the side of

It's her first day, so I will let her off the hook. Stacey Myers, the replacement for Binya Appelbaum has posted a summary of a Money Magazine 2009 Housing Forecast which states Boston should drop 10.5% This forecast uses the Case/Schiller Index which tracks major metro markets. Of course, anyone who looks at the Boston data in the Money Magazine piece will see a startling median price of $

We've all seen them, the lovely 6, 8 or 10 button combination lockboxes that many listing agents throughout the country use. Well, guess what...in Brookline they're the sign of an agent who does not work in our market. I personally don't get the lockbox thing. The premise is you hire me to sell your house (paying me 2.5%+) and I'm going to sit on my couch with my dog just allowing people to

I took Tessie for a walk last night and noticed that my old parking lot off of Centre Street has suddenly doubled their number of Zip Car spots to start the month. This is right on the heels of a feature on NBC Nightly News about the increased usage around the country.In urban areas, the Zipcar takes offWhile I support a greater reliance on "shared" transportation, I know this particular parking

The World Series Trophy will be in Brookline tomorrow (Thursday the 26th).In the news this week Mass housing prices have fallen 8.6% from last year, but Brookline's numbers are doing very well.I was quoted in the cover story from the Homes section in The Boston Globe on Sunday. In essence, the question was whether or not an expensive garden would impact a sales price. My extended opinion is

Increasingly I see agents offering home appointments by text message. Mainly these offers are broker to broker, but as a home buyer would you feel comfortable texting to set up an appointment? As a seller's agent I'd want to have a phone conversation with the person coming to visit to make sure they are a "qualified" buyer first, but am I the only one?Email this post to a friend.

Tomorrow is the start of one of my favorite Brookline events. The weekly Farmers Market is open between 1:30 and 6:00ish. While the offerings were a little sparse at the beginning last year, the market quickly filled with farm stand favorites. In addition to vegetables there is usually a great selection of baked goods, meats, cheeses and my personal favorite fresh fish brought in from the
