The Pinnacle Report has been a longstanding real estate new review produced by Pinnacle Residential Properties, authored by Elain Bannigan. The report officially began as a review of the Wellesley market and has expanded over the years to include Weston and Needham with the most recent addition of Dover.

The latest report published September, 2009, Volume 3 takes a look at the market in Dover (and Needham) from January 1, 2009 through July 31, 2009. Dover sales were slow compared to previous years, down 36% for closed sales transaction volume. Needham, however, remained consistent. One must address the volume of inventory available between the two towns to see the difference and reasoning in the sales activity. For more information, please call Pinnacle Residential, 781-237-5000.

We saw three offers on a house just put on the market this weekend. It is selling as asking. Finally buyers are beginning to step and take notice of some of the great values Dover has to offer. We can also attribute this quick action to value pricing. Another great property was just reduced from $1,079,000 to $990,000 and the phones are rining. 23 Saddle Ridge Road offers a great neighborhood, beautiful level fenced yard, lots of entertaining space, 4 nice bedrooms now at a great price.

Selling the town of Dover, MA

Selling a particular town requires some internal knowledge of the operations of the town. Dover, aside from being a terrific community, is a AAA Bond Rated town. This rating is the best rating a town can achieve and represents a true understanding of its financial responsibilities. In our ever changing economic environment, all buyers look at the schools, taxes and make up of the town but do they ever look deeper into the financial rankings of the town? When a town has a great bond rating it allows them to borrow money at better rates, it ensures the financial operations of the town are fiscally responsible and well thought out. This type of rating helps sellers present a strong financial picture of their town to potential buyers: taxes are in check and the budget is balanced. A very important element to consider.
