With all the news saying "no one is going to get a mortgage" and me having to defend the Real Estate market each and every day because of this, I am proud to say Wakefield, Ma Real Estate is #7 in the United States. This rank was reported by Business Week and then went on to all the local newspapers. A gentleman from Business Week called me personally for an interview about why Wakefield is doing so well and what draws home owners into our town. The poll was taken nationally based on the number of days properties spent on the market. Wakfield was the only town within Massachusetts. Of course just because compared to other cities Wakefield is doing well, it is still not at the top of its game and naturally prices are still down. But I consider this a good thing because it gives buyer the good deals they deserve. As far as the people who are reporting no one is going to get a mortgage than I ask why do I get flyers daily from banks offering very good loan packages??? So yes, the economy is in a slump, but I am trying to do my part to keep my town afloat.

Active Motion Physical Therapy (AMPT) may be new to the area, but is certainly a veteran of the business. Husband and wife owners Kelley and Thomas Allardi have been practicing physical therapy since 1998. Being a patient of theirs myself, I can tell you without a doubt that they gear 100% of their practice towards the clients wants and needs. They provide their patients with the knowledge of why their injuries happen and not only sooth their pain, but take the time to teach them how prevent it from re-occurring. Kelley also promotes a healthy lifestyle by offering weekly Pilates classes suitable for all ages and abilities. For those of you who happen to have had joint replacement or the ever-popular "bad back" they have just the thing for you, Aquatic physical therapy. If you have tried therapy in the past and were unsuccessful for what ever reason, AMPT is a must. Your body will thank you.

As sad as it is to see the Montrose school going, it does leave a big beautiful space for new families to join the Wakefield community. After much specualtion and taking the time to meet with the development expert who is leading this construction, Jeff Rhuda of Symes Associates, I have learned what exactly is to come. Not only is he a developemental genious, but he has proved himself also to be a polished yet personable gentleman. Now through all the speculation I have the right answer. The demolishion is scheduled to start in early September. Though this may be the most unpleasant time for neighbors, demo will be over in less than 3 weeks. Shortly after, piping for water and sewer will begin. If everything goes as planned sales will begin as early as November, with the homes going up early December and move-in ready May 2009. The site will be divided into 10 adjacent properties aurrounding a cul-de-sac. Land area will vary from 12,000-20,000 square feet. Home styles will vary, but will all be a minimum of 4 bedrooms. Atleast 2 of the site will be dug for full walk-out, daylight basements. With an early purchase you will be able to customize all of you finishing touches and even choose your model.

Please feel free to contact me (Efiore@remax.net) for further info and to see picture exmples of the finished product.
