Boston Massachusetts Real Estate Bloghttp://www.movewithchubb.com/blogBoston MA real estate market news provided by RE/MAX SelectTue, 17 Jan 2012 03:00:00 GMTSouth Boston Real Estate - 2011 in a Review In my opinion there is no better place to call home then South Boston. Whether you enjoy long walks on Castle Island, a stroll down Broadway, sitting on the beach or just the overall convenience, its why we call it home.

It’s hard to believe that 2011 has come to an end! Whether we are ready for 2012 or not, it is here and it now becomes time to review last year and remember the good, bad and ugly! I am happy to report that the South Boston Real Estate Market was not ‘ugly’! In 2011 we saw 465 condos sell with an average sale price of $382,283 which was 96.56% of the seller’s asking price of $395,886. The homes that sold in 2011 spent on average 102.28 days on the market.

This was a 4.18% sales price increase compared from 2010 for South Boston owners. This is an outstanding figure considering this does not even include factoring in the  tax write offs that homeownership provides which would greatly enhance the return. Consider the Real Estate return compared to the stock market return which from my calculations the S&P was down .04%, the NASDAQ was down 1.8% while the Dow Jones was up 5.53%. 

If you or anyone you know are thinking about buying or selling a home in 2012, then this is a great time to do so. The market is showing that it bottomed out in 2009 and we have now seen two years of strong returns. I can help you maximize your price while also helping you with suggestions on how to prepare, repair and stage your home for sale. 

For any Real Estate advice, please feel free to give me a call on my direct line at 617-480-2600.

When one thinks of the trendiest, most upscale, internationally-known shopping destinations in the United States, thoughts typically turn to Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills or Fifth Avenue in New York. But Bostonians know something those people may not. That’s because Bostonians don’t have to go anywhere to find the best shopping – it’s right here on Newbury Street.

Until the late 19th century, our town’s beloved Newbury Street was once submerged under water and was part of the Boston Harbor. Now the historic avenue is submerged in the likes of Chanel, Burberry, Armani and Valentino. Charming architecture and manicured streets, along with a mix of prestigious spas, salons and fine restaurants, lend assistance in establishing Newbury as the “Rodeo Drive of the East”. Check out the other incredible shopping destinations throughout the U.S. in this Boston.com article.

For those who live near Newbury, staying in style is that much easier to enjoy. Picture this: an afternoon stroll down the lovely tree-lined sidewalks, stopping into a local café for a quick lunch, followed by hitting up the best boutiques for their weekly sales – all possible if you live in the Back Bay, nearby Beacon Hill, Fenway or the South End. With competitive interest rates and new properties coming on the market daily, why not explore the possibility of living next to your favorite couture designers?

To move in style, give Jeffrey Chubb a call at 617-480-2600 or visit him on the web at www.MoveWithChubb.com. Ranked as the #1 RE/MAX Agent in Boston for the first half of 2011, using Jeffrey as your agent is like selling your home at a boutique.  Shoppers are just waiting for your doors to open! You deserve the best when buying a home too! Give Jeffrey a call as his services are free for buyers and don’t forget that when you buy or sell a house through him, then you can use his moving truck for free!

You said you wanted to live in a new home in Boston, then South Boston will most likely be your best bet! South Boston new construction is affordable and offers many amenities that other parts of the city do not offer.

One of the many jewels in South Boston is Castle Island, a 22 acre recreation site of Fort Independence.Today Castle Island is a unique place that provides Boston residents and visitors opportunities for both recreation and historical learning. Pleasure Bay features a sandy beach which is perfect for swimming as it is in a calm, closed lagoon. 

One of the best features of Castle Island that is used all year long is the HarborWalk which extends along Pleasure Bay. This is a great walk with scenic views of Boston, Quincy and Boston Harbor. This is a hotspot for jogging, walking and picnicking. There is also a fishing pier for the sportsman in you.

I know… It is hard to believe, but the winter is actually one of the best times to sell your home!

In the past 12 months we have seen 519 single family homes sell in Newton with 129 of those homes selling from November to February. That means over 25% of all home sales are happening when many agents tell homeowners to take their home off the market and to relist it in the Spring.

There is also a lot less competition in the winter months. During the winter we saw an average of 138 single family homes on the market vs. the 232 homes on the market during the other months of the year. That is a considerable advantage to the homeowner who decides to weather the winter real estate market.

The Newton condo market saw very similar results. Throughout the last 12 months we have seen 238 condos sell with 56 selling during the winter months. This represents nearly 24% of all condo sales in Newton. The major advantage for homeowners was that there were only on average 90 condos for sale during the winter months compared to the 139 homes during the rest of the year.

Cohasset is a small town with low activity which can sometimes make the average sale prices seem very 'choppy'. You will notice that one month the average sale price will sky rocket and then the next month it will drop dramatically. This is because there are many luxury homes in Cohasset (the most expensive house for sale in Massachusetts is on the Cohasset Harbor) and one sale can skew the whole bunch. The numbers to really focus on are the actual amount of homes sold per month and the amount of homes currently listed.

	It is always interesting to go back and take a look at a building many years after it has been completed and a couple units have sold. Did the values go up or down or stay stagnant? One thing for sure is that it is hard to beat a location like this! Capital Grille is right up the street and I must say I had an awesome Filet there last week (That is why it is a good thing I do not live across the street). For my fiancé it would be way too easy to ‘take the dog for a walk’ and stroll Newbury Street finding the newest dress at the new trendy store… That being said, I was the one who ended up buying George’s (our dog) collar from the Newbury Street pet boutique store. I guess I am the one with all of the problems…
