Finally, a private island for sale

September 25, 2016 · by Andrew Oliver · in Market Reports, Massachusetts Housing News

From time to time I have commented that while the Sotheby’s International Realty website lists a variety of categories of properties for sale, I have been disappointed that there have not been any private islands (or haciendas for that matter) for sale here on the North Shore.

Jimmy Garoppolo 3 Open House 1

September 20, 2016 · by Andrew Oliver · in Market Reports

Last Sunday saw the Patriots’ home opener and the question on the minds of real estate agents was what impact the 1 pm kick off game would have on attendance at Open Houses. My experience was that I saw all three of Garoppolo’s TDs and had one group come to see the house. Another agent reported zero attendance for the first time in her career.

While net worth did not recover to the 2007 pre-Recession level until 2012, the rapid growth since then means that household net worth has grown by one-third, from $66.5 trillion to $89.1 trillion, since 2007.

9/11 – We Will Remember Them

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning,
We will remember them.
