As Realtors we frequently hear the question "hows the market". And our reply is generally "pretty strong". Most people seem surprised by this response.

Just this past weekend a single family home came on the market at 55 Boylston Street it had 2 open houses that were both extremely well attended. Following the open houses, the listing agents received a total of 11 offers. That's right, 11 offers for 1 home. Needless to say, the home will go on to close at well above the asking price. Yes, it needs work, but once the work is completed it will make someone a very nice single family home in Jamaica Plainon a corner lot with garage parking.

So whenever we are asked the question, we do go on to say that we are blessed that we live and work in a community that has escaped some of the struggles of the national economy. Thankfully most people in Jamaica Plainare doing ok. And let's hope in 2012 it stays that way!

Happy Holidays!
