Bullish year for $1M+ sales.
Year to date 27 $1M + properties have sold with an average selling price of $1.438M. This includes 6 condos and 21 single family properties. Last year only 12 properties sold year to date above $1M. Demand is high in this category and sales depend on quality inventory being available for sale.
Coincidently there are currently only 27 properties on there market over $1M with an average asking price of $1.942M. These include 18 singles family properties and 9 condos.

Studs To Shingles – my take on construction activity and new developments in our lovely town. Some are in plain view and some off the beaten track – all soon to add to the astonishing and diverse housing stock in town.
20 Pleasant Street was a 3 unit property with 1,586 square feet on a 10,600 sf lot. It was marketed for $949K, and sold for $925K. It is being totally renovated most likely into three units. Its been amazing to watch the topography changes on the Pleasant Street frontage. It looks like it will be a terrific new development.

The first floor contains 2 apartments; 1 two bedroom/1 bath; 1 one-bedroom/1 bath. There is attic space over the one bedroom unit.

It had a dramatic interior and an A++ location on the “Gold Coast” – even though it is not on the waterside.

There is so much construction activity in town that I though I would highlight a few projects every few weeks so you can stay on top of whats new.
I have always loved this house at 457 Commercial Street. It was listed for sale in 2013 for $2.495M. It was a 3 bedroom, 2 bath house . It looks like it sold in a private sale for $2.143M as unit #1 of a two unit association that was created out of the large lot – unit #2 being the house on the east side of the 10,027 square for waterfront lot.
The house is getting a to the studs renovation and looks absolutely gorgeous. The other night we were walking by and the sweet smell of all that cedar was wafting through the early evening air. Ahh yes, thats what excites us real estate folks. lol.

65 Franklin Street, (below) the large lot that we all know at the corner of Franklin Street and Race Road is in the beginning stages of development.

It was last on the the market for $1.45M in 2011 and sold privately for $1.2 this year. It looks like there will be several condos built on what is now a four lot parcel. Watch this space for information on the project as soon as it is available.
52 Creek Road (below) sold in March for $1.04M with an asking price of $1.299M. The property had a three bedroom Cape and three “quaint” cottages and a shed on it. The lot is 14,007 square feet.
