4 West Main Street Hopkinton Massachusetts Real Estate For Sale
Every now and then a diamond in the rough comes along. This home at 4 West Main Street Hopkinton certainly could be described that way. The property was bought by a builder around twelve years ago who completely gutted the property down to the foundation. Everything in the home at that time was new including the walls, windows, plumbing, heating, electric, roof and even the septic system. You might as well say it was considered new construction as almost everything was removed except for the old stone foundation!
Fast forward about twelve years to today and you have a young Hopkinton colonial that is on the market for only $309,900!
You can get a complete description of 4 West Main Street by clicking this link: http://www.maxrealestateexposure.com/4-west-main-street-hopkinton-ma-01748/
but I will give you a quick summary of some of the best features. What I love about the property besides the fact that it is a young home is the fact it has a wide open floor plan. The minute you walk through the door you are able to see all the rooms on the first floor! It has a beautiful Maple kitchen, fireplaced dining room, central air and Hickory hardwood floors throughout.
The proximity to schools, town center and major highways is excellent. Come take a look you won't be disappointed!

Creative Hopkinton Massachusetts Real Estate Advertising
Over the last week my creative juices have been flowing and I have decided to create some ads to promote the fact that I am one of the top RE/MAX agents in Massachusetts. Below is an add that is going to run in the Hopkinton Independent newspaper in the middle of January.
This is one of many ads that is going to be run over the course of the year. The theme of the ads is basically "something different" than the run of the mill Real Estate advertising you normally find. I am excited to see the kind of response I am going to get from Hopkinton residents.
About ten years ago I did something similar and the results were spectacular. I got away from doing the advertising because my partner at the time, Chuck Joseph did not care for it. Well the big news here is that I am not longer partners with Chuck Joseph and Mary Korbey so any marketing decisions I make will be completetly my own. I'll be back pounding the pavement as an individual and not part of a team. I am already excited about the Real Estate prospects for 2010. It is going to be a great year!
The ad is missing my Hopkinton work number (508-435-5356) but that was corrected for the final version that will go to print in the newspaper.
No doubt there will be snickering from some of the local Realtors when they see my advertising campaign. Oh well...I have never given a hoot what my competition thinks:)

Money Magazine Says Hopkinton Mass Kicks Butt

The accolades continue to roll in for Hopkinton Massachusetts! The latest being Money Magazines prestigious award as one of the best towns in the country. You can see the full article at Hopkinton Massachusetts named to Money Magazine Best Places to Live 2009. This is the latest in a string of recent awards including being included in Boston Magazines Best places to live 2009.
Hopkinton High School was also recently named as one of Newsweeks top 500 schools for 2009 as well.
As a resident in the town for the last 42 years as well as having been a Realtor in town for the last 23 years, I can vouch for what a great place it is to live! The schools are terrific which always have a direct correlation to housing values. Although the Real Estate down turn over the last few years has effected home values all over the Metrowest area, Hopkinton has faired better than many towns.
Over the years Hopkinton has grown in popularity and is now considered a destination point for many looking for a property in the Metrowest area. The Money Magazine recognition is only going to further an already strong reputation.

Hopkinton Makes Boston Magazine Best Places To Live 2009

Hopkinton Massachusetts has won the coveted award from Boston Magazine as one of the best places to live in 2009. According Boston Magazine's article Hopkinton was grouped into the "The Teflon Ten" which is the ten towns that are perceived according to statistical analysis to be primed for take off once the market starts making it's way back up again. These ten towns supposedly have not dropped in value like other towns have.
Having been a resident for 42 years and a Realtor for 23 I can vouch for the fact that Hopkinton is a terrific place to live and work. Hopkinton should be one of the towns that has a better than average appreciation rate when the Real Estate market does finally turn around. I do take exception to the statistics in the article though. I do not think they are accurate. According to the article Real Estate values since the peak in 2005 are only down -.40%.
I can tell you for certainty that market values have dropped in Hopkinton by more than around 1%. To read the full article see Boston Magazine names Hopkinton One of Best Places To Live.

RE/MAX Executive Realty Real Estate market share leader through August 2008

Through August of 2008, RE/MAX Executive Realty continues to dominate the Hopkinton Massachusetts Real Estate market share. By clicking the small graph above you will see a blown up readable version of the chart.
These statistics are taken from The MLS Property Information Network. The statistics include market data of homes, condos, multi family's, and land sold. When you look at the chart you will notice at the top that there are three categories of transactions. Listed & sold - meaning the company was involved as both the listing broker and selling broker. This by the way is the goal of every Realtor but happens much more often with a RE/MAX company. For an understanding of why this is the case see RE/MAX Executive Realty Hopkinton The other two categories are listed but sold by another company, and sold another companies listing.
You will notice by that in all three categories RE/MAX Executive Realty is the leader. RE/MAX Executive Realty has a sizable lead in the number of units sold as our nearest competitor, Century 21 Commonwealth. We are ahead by 20 in the number of transaction sides. (There are two in every sale...the listing side and selling side.)
The market share drops off dramatically after the top two companies with Star Realty only capturing 5.31% of the market share.
If you look closely at the chart you will see that our offices in Holliston and Medfield are also ranked #6 and #7 in Hopkinton market share.
The Real Estate market in Massachusetts has become very challenging. While selecting a good company with market share is important, selecting a good Metrowest Realtor to represent you is vital.
One of the more important factors today in selecting a Realtor is how well they market online. You want to have an agent that will create an online presence for your home. Over 85% of all buyers find their home online and the number is growing!
When considering who to choose to represent you in your home sale try using Google as a tool. Google the agents name you are considering. If you don't see pages and pages of results, you have found yourself a Realtor with very little to no internet presence.
I would ask yourself this question: If a Realtor does not know how to promote themselves online how could you possibly expect them to promote your home well?

Springwood Estates Hopkinton Massachusetts

Springwood Estates in Hopkinton Massachusetts is one of the more popular neighborhoods in town. One of the big attractions with Springwood Estates is that it is the largest subdivision in Hopkinton. When people relocate from other parts of the country they are not used to our smaller neighborhoods in Metrowest Massachusetts. In other areas of the country it is not unusual to have 300+ homes in a neighborhood. Most of the subdivisions in the Metrowest area have 50 homes or under. The relocating buyer is able to take advantage of the larger neighborhood that they are accustomed to at Springwood.
The home pictured above is a resale that my team just sold at 15 Gibbon Road in an older section of the Springwood neighborhood. The home sold for 5k over the asking price of $729,900.
You can read more about this Springwood Estates Hopkinton home and view interior photos by clicking the link. The price point in Springwood ranges from the 600's all the way up to a million+ for the new homes that are presently being built by Ron Nation of 20th Century Homes.

Hopkinton Massachusetts Homes Just Sold 12 Claflin Street

Going against what typically happens in this crazy upside down Real Estate market my team mates Chuck Joseph and Diane Corsi, just closed on this home at 12 Claflin Street in Hopkinton Massachusetts for full price. The home closed at $360,000 on June 26.
This home was a rare find for Hopkinton as it was in the down town area on a side street with no traffic. It was not your typical village colonial but a well maintained ranch with three bedrooms and 2.5 baths. The home was situated on a 3/4 acre private lot which is also difficult to find.
Homes that sell at full price or close to it are harder to find in this market but it can be done! Having a good Realtor or even better a team representing you can go a long way towards a successful sale.
Marketing a home to the masses is critical in this market. Proper pricing and a high level of exposure online are the two biggest factors in getting your home sold today. Over 85% of all buyers find their home online and the percentage continues to grow.
You can see all the exposure I give to my clients at Real Estate marketing in Metrowest Massachusetts.
