Cleveland Circle Condos Sold Last Week - Brighton MA I had two Cleveland Circle condos closings last week, both excellent buys.  I represented the buyer on one, and both buyer and seller on the other.  If you are seeking a free market analysis for your Brighton MA home, click on link. 141 Englewood Ave #35 is a one bedroom condo which was owned by Fannie Mae.  We had to be very patient to make this sale happen as offers were rejected over and over again.  But my savvy buyer stuck to her guns and secured this property well under market.   This condo is in an excellent association, one of the biggest in the area.  A classic brownstone with an elevator and roof access, the condo has hardwood floors and updated bathroom.  The unit overlooks the perfectly manicured courtyard.     Just around...

No one should be surprised at the hot Brighton MA Real Estate market. Current market conditions in the Brighton MA condo market were easy to predict, as they are part of a decade long cycle we see in real estate. Now one of the hottest condo markets in the Boston area, Brighton's better condos are on the market 2-7 days, and enjoy rising prices.   The writing was on the wall.  Look at the falling average days on market, plunging nearly 40% in 2012 from the previous year.  Prices went up and the average sale price / list price ration went up.   What does that mean: condo sellers in Brighton MA are asking for more money, and getting more of it.  This is great news for home sellers, but poses some difficulties to the buyers out there, often feeling the frustration of multiple offer situati...

You don't see very many townhouses for sale in Brighton MA.  Furthermore, Brighton MA real estate is most well known for pre-war buildings and small condos.  But the up-and-coming area around Brighton Mills has more to offer than you'd expect. Nestled in a cul-de-sac is a three townhouse complex, built in 2006.  22 Abbey Road #3 is an end unit with sunshine and a bright open space.  The Brighton MA condo features: 1515 square feet 3 bedrooms 2.5 baths, marble granite and stailess steel kichen private deck huge shared yard two parking spaces hardwood floors full basement which can be finished easily But we all know looks are not everything.  What about the location?   22 Abbey Road is ideal for both inbound and outbound commutes.  I timed a six minute drive to Harvard Square in heavy tra...

Moving day in BostonSeptember 1st is moving day in Boston for thousands of students. On the afternoon of September 1st I was driving east from Newton MA into Boston on the Mass Turnpike. In Boston there is a split in the road at the toll booth. To the left is the toll booth and exit for Cambridge and Brighton. To the right the Pike continues into Boston.Traffic was a mess. The Pike was backed up for about a mile before the toll booth, and was moving at a snail’s pace. As I passed by the line of vehicles waiting to exit at the Cambridge and Brighton exit I noticed something unusual. Most of the vehicles were moving trucks, pickup trucks filled with furniture, cars with mattresses tied to their roofs, and cars with their front and back seats filled with boxes and household items.I just sm...
