Former Celtic’s home for sale
For only $1.7 million you can live in a house in Newton once owned by Celtics’ legend Larry Robert McHal Paul– ok none of the above, but how about Aron Baynes?
Um, not quite the same, but it looks like a nice house.
Here’s a link to Baynes’ townhouse Newton townhouse.

FHA eases rules for condo mortgages
As of October 15, the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) will insure mortgages for selected condominium units in projects that are not currently approved. An individual unit may be eligible for Single-Unit Approval under the following conditions:
- The individual condominium unit is located in a completed project that is not approved;
- For condominium projects with 10 or more units, no more than 10 percent of individual condo units can be FHA-insured; and projects with fewer than 10 units may have no more than two FHA-insured units.
- FHA will require that approved condominium projects have a minimum of 50 percent of the units occupied by owners for most projects
- FHA will require that the commercial/non-residential space within an approved condominium project not exceed 35 percent of the project’s total floor area
According to the FHA: “The vast majority (84 percent) of FHA-insured condo buyers have never owned a home before. While there are more than 150,000 condominium projects in the U.S., only 6.5 percent are approved to participate in FHA’s mortgage insurance programs. As a result of FHA’s new policy, it is estimated that 20,000 to 60,000 condominium units could become eligible for FHA-insured financing annually.”

Housing Inventory declining again
Following year over year (YOY) increases for 11 consecutive months until June, the inventory of Single Family Homes (SFH) for sale in the 34 cities and towns of Essex County fell in August for the second month in a row.
Condos
The condo market is the focus on much of the new construction that takes place,and inventory at the beginning of August increased YOY for the 15th consecutive month.
Comment
It is summer, a quiet time in real estate markets, but this summer has seen a continuation of the sharp drop in mortgage rates, from almost 5% last November to 3.6% this week.
