Real Estate

It's all about living somewhere, it's part of life so it's always good to know what's happening in real estate.

I'm a mother of two grown sons, my husband and I are empty-nesters at this point. Both of my sons have graduated from College. One is a graphic designer and the other is a senior credit analyst. My oldest is married and has a son (grandmother-yippee!) and owns his own home. My other son has a condo and getting married! There is something to say about all that. I am very proud of them and feel I accomplished a great task in my life. I've always work hard at everything I do and feel that is the only way I get things done to get what I want. I guess that's the way it was meant to be for me anyway. I truly believe things happen for a reason and if you want something you have to take chances to get it.

MASS & NORTH SHORE HOME SALES

MAR reported that both single-family home sales and condominium sales were down 14.9 percent and 20.3 percent respectively in June compared to the same time last year. On a month-to-month basis, both single-family sales and condominium sales continue to go up. Listings and months of supply are down compared to the same time last year.



In the second quarter of 2008, single family homes sales were down 13.7% and condominium sales were down 23.6%. "While we were hoping to see the trend of narrowing sales declines we experienced in April and May, that just didn't happen in June, " said MAR President, Susan M. Renfrew. "However, median prices are at their highest in several months, while the number of homes for sale and months of supply are continuing to come down, meaning demand for those properties can start to increase.
