Don’t Wait—Beat the Crowds and Buy This Winter
We’ve been saying this for years, the best time to buy a home is when it’s not the best time to sell–and the statistics back us up. But we’re not telling you anything you shouldn’t already know. However, there’s even more compelling reasons this year, with the much ballyhooed talk […]
Belmont homes hit a new high as our Best of Tour report for this week is being supplanted by the second highest price obtained (per square foot) for a home in Belmont—the highest being recorded less than a month ago in Sterling Downs.

BEST OF TOUR
Not to be confused with the Board of REALTORS “Best of Tour” award whereby agents try and coax or pressure their colleagues into signing a petition proclaiming their home the “Best of Tour”, our’s is based upon our personal impression after seeing all of the homes on tour and reporting back to you.

It’s time to do the numbers, and I can hear the jingle playing in my head “We’re in the Money”–a little ditty from NPR’s Market Report segment which they play when the stock market is up.

Time permitting, we like to spotlight the best home from our weekly Broker tour day. One which we feel is exceptional in one way or another.
