Looking at the market numbers over in Charlestown (popular with first-time buyers looking for more space - especially if buyers work north of the city) and it looks like Charlestown is following a similar market trend as Fenway. One bedroom condos are pretty much flat as to where they were in the January 1 - March 1, 2007 sales cycle (all info from MLSPIN) where the average condo went for $370K and, in the same period in 2013, went for $363K. Two bedroom condos were up 11% in the period between from 2007 to 2013 where a two bedroom went for $495K in 2007 fetched $549K in 2013. It goes without saying that there are a lot of factors which influence statistics so for the most up-to-date and specific market data for your home search, just give me a call or send me an e-mail. 03/19/2013

How is the Charlestown real estate market doing? With the interest rate at its lowest in 40 years, the Boston Charlestown real estate market has shown dramatic improvement since 2011. Here is a comparison of 1st quarter single-family home and condominium sales in 2011 v. 2012, and highlights will follow. Highlights: 1.     Sales have either stayed steady or declined, which makes sense since low interest rates make sellers more likely to hold on to their inventories. 2.     Inventory has decreased. Single-family homes have dropped by more than a quarter, and condos by almost 17%. This also reflects hesitance in sellers to sell under such low interest rates. 3.     The number of days that condos stay on the market has decreased significantly. Condos are selling quicker, and I offer 2 poss... 04/13/2012

A Charlestown MA home buyer should receive a brochure, Home Inspectors Facts for Consumers Sheet, at the time of the signing of the first written contract to purchase. A standard home inspection in Massachusetts is a visual examination of the physical structure and major interior systems of a residential building consisting of one to four dwelling units. It should be understood that there are certain risks inherent in the purchase of property and a home inspection is inherently limited in its scope and depth. The information gained from home inspection conforming to the Massachusetts Home Inspector Standards of Practice may reduce some of those risks, but the home inspection is not intended to provide the client with protection from all of the risks involved.

Whan pricing your Charlestown MA home for sale, one of the most important bits of information to gather is the number of buyers by price range. A common mistake sellers often make is thinking that around every corner there are buyers just waiting to write offers and inevitably overestimate the pool of ready willing buyers. By changing the terminology a bit, we can draw a much more informative picture. By changing Solds to Buyers, we   immediately see buyers vs. number of solds. Then by lining this up with active listings (# For Sale) we come to a whole new realization. For instance in the range between $340K - $390K there is approximately 3x more homes for sale today in Charlestown than the mumber of buyers who purchased in the past 6 months. . . Another way to look at this is that in t... 06/15/2011
