Grafton MA Market Report 3rd Quarter 2009
Grafton is holding its own. In the 3rd quarter of 2009, 42 single family homes were sold, with an average sale price of $380,606. The average time on the market for these homes was 124 days. Another 18 homes are currently under contract; however, 115 homes remain on the market.
In the 2nd quarter of 2009, 32 homes sold in Grafton - with an average sale price of $383,986 and average time on the market being 122 days.
It is encouraging to see the sales volume increase while the average sale price is fairly steady; however, it is too soon to make any predictions about the 2010 real estate market in Grafton. The winter market is coming fast, and this always means slower sales. We'll keep an eye on it and report back after the first of the year.

Golf in October at Hemlock Ridge Golf Course in Sturbridge, MA
One of the most picturesque golf courses in Central Massachusetts is located in Sturbridge. Hemlock Ridge Golf Course is set among the western hills of town, allowing for beautiful views amidst the greens.
The usual golf season here runs from April 1 to November 30, and when I visited this morning, the course was busy with early risers. Not surprising, given the golden sun of the day. The course starts its tee times at 6 AM, and it appeared that several golfers were already finishing their nine holes.
Hemlock Ridge was built in 1970. Prior to the golf course, the land was farm land where the owners, the Palmer family, raised cattle. As time passed, the Palmers started to convert their farm into a golf course.
Hemlock Ridge is a nine-hole course. The course has men's and women's leagues and is host to numerous tournaments and fundraisers throughout its season.
Its location makes it a convenient place for golfers to play. Take Route 20, and head south on Holland Road. Hemlock Ridge is on the right side. Enjoy the view of the glorious green hills as you make your way to the clubhouse and 1st hole.
More information can be found on the Hemlock Ridge Golf Course web site. Set your tee time - there is still a good month left to play.
Hemlock Ridge Golf Course
220 Holland Road
Fiskdale (Sturbridge), MA
