News from the National Association of Realtors is
promising.  Based on the somewhat uneven
but higher sales pattern in January and February, the association is predicting
existing home sales will increase by as much as 10 percent this year.  If this happens, home sales will reach the
highest level in five years. 

There is additional data that supports the NAR’s prediction
of a housing recovery.  Although pending
homes sales fell a seasonally adjusted 0.5 percent from January to February
2012, sales were up 9.2 percent from the same time last year.  A similar trend can be seen in for existing
home sales which were down from January to February, but up 8.8 percent from a
year ago.  Sales in the Boston area were
30.5% higher in February 2012 than sales in February 2011. 

In towns like Arlington and Winchester, increased sales
prices may be linked to the low inventory. 
Over the last several months, the number of homes on the market in
Arlington and Winchester has been notably low. 
With fewer homes on the market, sellers are able to get more for their
home.  This downward trend in inventory
can be seen on a National level. 
Nationally, the number of homes on the market in February 2012 was 22.4%
lower than the housing inventory in February 2011.

 What this means for
homeowners in Arlington, Winchester and surrounding towns, is that now may be a
good time to put your house on the market. 
The increase in sales prices combined with the low inventory can help
sellers get the maximum price for their home.

Exposure. After a summer slow down, housing sales in Arlington and Winchester often gain momentum in the fall. As we all know, fall is a beautiful time of year in Massachusetts. It’s also a great time of year for prospective home buyers to get out and look at properties. If you put your house on the market this fall, you will benefit from the exposure your property will receive during these months of great New England weather.

Motivated Buyers. Buyers looking for property to purchase in the fall are often serious buyers. These are individuals who may not have had luck finding a home in the spring or the summer and who are strongly motivated to buy before the winter season.

Low Interest Rates. Interest rates are at all time lows! Once you sell your home, you can take advantage of the record low interest rates and buy the house of your dreams in Arlington or Winchester!

The Minuteman Bikeway is an 11-mile paved bike and pedestrian-friendly route that passes through the historic towns of Cambridge, Arlington, Lexington and Bedford. It is one of the most popular and successful rail-trails in the U.S.

The Bikeway draws all kinds of people, from joggers to avid cyclists, teens on rollerblades and moms strolling with their infants. It has been called “a new type of Main Street where neighbors and strangers alike come together while riding, walking or skating on the path”.

Since the Bikeway conveniently connects to the Alewife MBTA station, on weekdays the Bikeway may be filled with commuters seeking an easy way to get into Boston while avoiding automobile traffic.

Although the Bikeway is busiest during the warm weather months, since the towns of Arlington and Lexington plow their sections of the Bikeway, the path can be enjoyed year round and is frequented by cross-country skiers in the winter months.

If you haven’t had a chance to use the Bikeway this summer, today might be a good day for you to get out there and join the many people who have discovered this outdoor treasure in our community
