Middleboro, MA

The Massachusetts Association of Realtors (MAR) has reported that sales for October 2009 are up 17.7% from October 2008. 3,828 single family homes sold this October vs. 3,252 in October 2008. It was also the largest single month gain since November 2004, and the largest increase of sales from September to October since 2002.

Although these statistics might be a little closer than using national statistics, it is still not a clear indication of what might be happening in your town or neighborhood. Real estate is local and in some instances, hyper-local. One area may be realizing better than average results while another has seen fewer sales and larger price reductions. The results can vary dramatically or can follow a similar trend to the national or state sales results. The best way to determine what the results are and how to interpret them is through the help and guidance of a local Realtor.

I took a closer look at some of the statistics for Middleboro Massachusetts single family homes sales for October and here is how they stacked up compared to the state statistics.

Here is a chart showing the past 10 years of single family home sales and the median sales prices for Middleboro Massachusetts.

What does all this mean to you? That there is a vast difference between the median selling price for a single family home in Massachusetts vs. Plymouth County vs. the town of Middleboro (or your town), and that there can be a significant difference between the number of home sales in Massachusetts vs. Plymouth County vs. the town of Middleboro (or your town).

Real Estate is local! Stop relying on national and state statistics. Consult with a local Realtor to obtain more accurate information pertaining to your local real estate market.

Why wouldn't you consider buying a home during the winter months?

Did you know that the majority of homebuyers slow down, and some even stop searching for a home during the winter? This always makes me pause, and generally leaves me with too much time on my hands. I like being busy, I like selling real estate, and I want to help you find your next home, land, vacation property, or investment property.

There still is a great deal of inventory in my area and as winter rapidly approaches, those properties will receive less traffic in the form of showings. Do you know what kind of opportunity that presents for you as a buyer? That's right, less competition and perhaps a more motivated seller. No guarantee, but the odds are certainly in your favor.

So, dress appropriately for the elements and lets go tour some homes. Give yourself the gift of home for the holidays!

Middleboro Massachusetts is a wonderful town large in area, but "small town" in nature. There are several businesses within Middleboro and many are privately owned and operated by local residents. For instance, Woodstoves and Fireplaces Unlimited is one of them. Here is a brief highlight of who they are and what they have to offer if you are in the market for a secondary heating source, a relaxing theraputic hot tub, or a brand new gas grill.

Nathan and Karen Hindemith purchased and reinvented Woodstoves and Fireplaces Unlimited nearly twenty years ago. In that time they have seen the hearth industry change and evolve dramatically. They've seen woodstoves become much more efficient, the introduction and ever increasing popularity of pellet stoves and inserts, and more beautiful and realistic gas units.

Nate and Karen have been a family run business that specializes in expert installation and outstanding customer service.They invite you in to enjoy their showroom that displays many working stoves, inserts, fireplaces, gas grills and hot tubs. Their shop also provides a full line of accessories for your fireplace, insert, pellet stove, hot tub or grill. You can also fill up the propane tank for your grill.

For anyone that is in the market for buying a large parcel of land that can be either your own private hunting paradise, or just a place to escape from the hustle and bustle of every day life.  This 32+ acre parcel of land is absolutely perfect.  Currently listed at $160,000.00.

Imagine yourself driving up your driveway to your hillside home. The views from the front will be limited to a few neighbors, depending on how you situate your new home.  There are tons of possibilities here all you have to do is bring your imagination.  It would help if you brought your architect and builder too. Sometimes it is difficult to visualize what you can do with raw land. The natural beauty is already there, so come on by and check it out. Just picture this "total privacy" in your back yard.

One of the best features of this land is that it will always maintain a certain degree of privacy.  How many people "live" in their front yard?  The average homeowner spends most of their time in their backyard. Okay, so this land has it, there is nothing but trees behind you. The parcel behind you, is owned by the town and is being held as a future well site. The only access to the town well site is a right of way from Harper's Lane.  The town does not have access to the well site through this parcel. No neighbors to the rear (at least not visible).

The rear of the property is mature woodlands of mainly pine, oak and cedar trees. You are limited to a few neighbors "in front" of your future dwelling.  If you do not want to see your neighbors, then have your builder design a home that will minimize visibility of your neighbors. It should not be difficult. If you want to be one with nature, then you have the perfect opportunity here. 

Now that I have appealed to the nature lover, let us not forget that this property would also be very desirable to the hunter. If you want to hunt deer, fox, or wild turkey, then you might want to snatch this up as your own private hunting ground. Build your own lodge style home, or whatever your heart desires.  You could be close to the corporate world, yet living in the ideal country setting.

Currently, there is an abundance of deer in this area. This land abuts much more conservation land which is in a coveted hunting area.  The city of New Bedford owns land that abuts one corner of this parcel, and the cities property continues on the other side of Walnut Street. There is plenty of conservation land in this area.   

Whether you hunt or you want to make sure Bambi is safe on your compound, you should at least take a look at your options here.  At less than $5,000 per acre, you could be very happy that you found this little slice of paradise to call your very own.

If the 32+ acre parcel is too big for you.  Then perhaps you might be interested in a smaller lot.  There is one remaining on this subdivded property. Meanwhile, here are some other land listings in the Middleboro area.
