About Middlesex County, MA

If your home has just come off the market and hasn't sold, don't be discouraged. The reason it didn't sell may have nothing to do with your home or the market. In reality, your home may have been one of the more desirable properties for sale.

If your listing has expired and you still want to sell, you need to a good look at your options. Knowing all of your options-including not selling at all-is key to getting the results you want.

There are actually 4 key things you need to consider before you hire another agent to sell your home. I'll be covering each of them in detail over the next couple of weeks.

Do You NEED To Sell Your Home?

First, you need to ask yourself: do I really need to sell right now?

As I write this, it's the beginning of December. Turkey Day is over and done with, and the holiday season is in full swing. Needless to say, you're fully aware of this...because you're probably as busy as I am.

So if you're anything like me, you're working full-time, taking your kids to sports and class parties, agonizing over finding the right gifts...and worrying about getting it all done before the "big day".

These are the shortest days of the year-in more way than one. Because we're all so busy this time of year, it's much harder to deal with the day-to-day hassles of selling a home. Keeping a house "showing ready" isn't easy, especially now.

And of course, potential buyers for your home are feeling the same pressures. In my experience, all but the most motivated tend to "hibernate" this time of year. The rest of your prospective buyers will start to poke their heads up around Groundhog Day. That means a couple of months with minimal activity.

So...if you're not absolutely sure about selling, you might want to consider taking your home off the market until the middle of January or so. Normally I would suggest holding off a bit longer, but there's a good reason for jumping back into the market so early-the $8000 homebuyer tax credit.

As you may know, the home buyer tax credit was extended until April. Many real estate analysts think that the tax credit is the reason for the "bounce" in home sales during the fall.

Because of the extension, I think the Medford real estate market will take off early this year. And it will stay strong through April. But when the tax credit expires, the market could slow down-big time. So the sooner you get your home on the market, the better.

Now, if you MUST sell now-don't be too discouraged. In every crisis, there's also an opportunity. And you have the opportunity to sell your home to a very motivated buyer-if you following the steps I'll lay out in my next blog post.

In it, I'll explain exactly how you can use the slow holiday real estate market to your advantage. I'll also show you what to do-and what not to do-in order to make your home sell for the most amount of money. And I'll even throw in a few marketing tips, too.

If you're a subscriber, you'll get an automatic notification when I post that new article. And if you're not--why not subscribe today so that you can find out about my "Winter Home Selling" post as soon as it hits the Web?

Ok...off to work. I've got a few closings to go to and then it's time to play chauffer for the kids. Have a great day!

Hopkinton MA Real Estate ~ Just Sold 184 Fruit Street Hopkinton Massachusetts. Bank Owned New Construction. Sold by Bill Gassett, RE/MAX Executive Realty on 11/30/2009 for $530,000.

This Hopkinton bank owned home was not your conventional run of the mill property. The home was being sold "as is" which always makes it more difficult but in addition the home also had some obstacles that many buyers needed to look past including the fact that the front door was about 15 feet from ground level and not a very usable lot.

Looking past these drawbacks there were a lot of great things to talk about. The home featured a dramatic two story family room with palladium style windows, BRAZILIAN CHERRY Floors, Double Trey ceilings and Columns. It was also roughed for a gas fireplace. The great room was the hub of the house and had an incredible balcony overlook from the 2nd floor. This awesome room took advantage of the outstanding views of the Saddle Hill Country Club Golf course!

Adjoining the family room was a beautiful kitchen with Maple Cabinetry, Granite counters, and tile flooring. The kitchen will need to be fitted for appliances allowing the buyer to customize to their tastes.

One of the other unique features of this home was the hard to find 1st floor master suite. There are so few homes constructed in the area that have a 1st floor master. This one was done well with sliders to a deck that overlooks the golf course. The Master bath was magnificent with a fantastic custom shower, separate tub, tile flooring, and double with marble top. In addition the walk-in closet was fit for a king. Rounding out the 1st floor was a study with french doors for privacy.

The 2nd floor included 3 bedrooms. One of the bedroom has it's own private bath and the other 2 share a bath. One of the bedrooms also housed one of two laundry rooms in the home.

The lower level in this home was nearly complete and will add an additional 1900 square feet of living area. There is flooring needed and one room needed a finished ceiling. The basement ceiling height is over 12 feet and gives the area a real sense of spaciousness. The lower level included a large entry foyer, a room set up for a home theater area, a full bath, laundry room, and another room that could be used for just about anything. Given this space was not complete the new owner will really have the chance to add their personal touch.

Other features included a Massive Deck, 4.5 baths, extensive moldings and woodwork, french doors ect. In total there is approximately 5230 square feet with the lower level completed. The is set on 1.38 acres of land. Once the buyer gets this property completely done it should become a great place to live in and and outstanding Hopkinton value! I was fortunate enough to work with both the buyer and the seller in this transaction (Hingham Savings Bank).

Here is a slide show video for 184 Fruit Street Hopkinton Massachusetts.

The commuting location for this home is excellent as it is only a few miles away from the T stop in bordering Southboro. It is also not that far from Route 9 in Framingham.

Hopkinton recently was recognized by Money Magazine as being the 19th best town in the US to live in. You can see details on this story and other recent awards Hopkinton has garnered at Hopkinton Massachusetts named to Money Magazine Best Places to Live 2009.
