This week I was asked by a home seller on the “West Side” of Reading what the difference was between selling your home in the Fall vs the Spring. I have written about this topic before - early this year in fact - particularly as it relates to the towns of Reading and North Reading....
Summer Avenue in Reading, MA has been touted as one of the most desirable streets North of Boston to live on. Boston Magazine featured it in an article a few years ago in 2007 called: If You Lived Here...You'd Never Want to Leave.
It's not often that a large contemporary home pops up on the market on the North Shore of Massachusetts, where Colonials, Capes & Victorians are most prevalent, especially one that sits on over 8 Acres of land! Being a "loft-lover", I am so very happy to see a home like this hit the market!
What this information will show is that Reading single family homes averaged OVER $300 per square foot - which is the first time this threshold has been broken here in any given year!
Julia Szabo, columnist for the New York Post and author of Animal House Style: Designing a Home to Share With Your Pets, wrote that for safety purposes pet owners should spend decorating dollars on framed prints, photos and paintings. "Art hangs on the walls, out of reach of your pets."
If so, then local artist Michelle Dunn Taylor of North Reading has the decorating answer for you
We are over the hallway mark of 2017 by almost two months at this point, and it's no surprise that the condo sales market North of Boston was just as fired up as the single family home sales market.
Here's a quick comparison of condominium sales in 4 towns in the 93 / 95 "split" from Jan 1, 2017 to today: August 21, 2017.

Last night I presented some information to new single family homebuyer clients looking North of Boston, targeting towns such as Reading, North Reading, Stoneham, Wilmington, Woburn & Wakefield. Not surprisingly, days on market are quick (the past 2 weeks of offers have an average of 10 days until offer in Reading alone!), and multiple-offers are the norm, which means "over-asking" accepted offers are also the trend.
