Needham Bowlaway Made It To NECN's Greg's List Let me tell you that my grandson absolutely loves Needham Bowlaway and I am so glad that they are in business.    Before the summer ends you just have just got to go to the Needham Bowlaway.  It is under new management and the story is right here on this video from NECN's very Greg.  This bowlaway started in 1917.  That was not a na easy time to be starting a business.  Have some fun and break away from it all for a bowling game.  Take your children or grandchildren. I remember being on a bowling team and it was a blast then way back in 1972 and 1973.  Such fun.  Come and see Watch this at NECN

So there were more units sold and the homes sold for more in July 2011 as compared to July 2010.  Notice the list price was lower than last year in July 2011.  Pricing is key in marketing a home but then it always is.

Needham, MA Condo Sales In the Last 6 Months The condo market in Needham has picked up lately as in other areas.  This is the most current 6 months of sales in all price ranges.  It is a great way to get into the real estate market and build some equity then buy a home in 5 years. Condo buyers in my career have been able to do this and it has worked out so well for them.  You can also have nice place to come if you want to spend half the year in a warmer climate.   27 Listin27 Listings Sold    Condominium Sold Listings  MLS # Status Address Town   Rms   Br   Bth   Style   Garage Sale Date DOM   Sale Price 71176503 SLD 1212 Greendale Ave U:331 Needham, MA 4 1 1/0 Garden 0 -- 6/7/2011  83 $166,000 71126100 SLD 1202 Greendale Avenue U:135 Needham, MA 4 1 1/0 Low-Rise 0 Deeded 4/2/2011  514...

Life Is Good in Needham and In Boston Lots to do in Needham but also we are less than 11 miles to Boston.  We all went to take a ride on "Codzilla" which is tour by Boston Harbor Cruises  http://www.bostonharborcruises.com/  What a blast.  We all loved it.  I have to admit that I was a little unsure because I like rides and hate roller coasters but this was just intense enough for me.  My granddaughter wants to have her next birthday party on the boat.  The 2 guys that dialoged througout the trip were so much fun.  One of the guys definitely should try acting because he was superb and his low voice worked very well.  What fun.  Acctually it was "wicked fun." I love the city and sharing it with my family is the best.  I was born in the city and I won't say how long ago but the city is st...

Best Beaches Near Needham, MA It is going to be a great beach week and if you are in my neck of the woods here are some suggestions and i will add more as the week goes on. Not too far to drive would be Crane's beach.  It is wonderful and I went there growing up and have very fond memories. North of Boston, head to Crane Beach in Ipswich, one of the most picturesque sqimming beaches in all of  New England, on Argilla Road, Ipswich, MA 978-356-4354                  Top off the day with clams or go to Woodman's in Essex and really have a super time.  What a blast that would be. Then my all time favorite is Wingersheek in Gloucester on Atlantic Avenue.  Gotta go and spend a day there. It is a delight.               I love Nantasket Beach and it is even closer than the first 2 beaches.  Gro...

  Needham Market Report June 2011 For sure the the average list price has increased quite a bit at 12% over last year and the ratio from list to sale price is  pretty constant from year to year.  The luxury market is slower but still homes are selling well in Needham.  The concentration is still in the first time buyer price ranges of $500k and $600k.  In the state of Massachusetts the unemployment is far better than many other states.  Due to the close proximity of Boston.   The fact is that Needham and other communities have seen a price increase.   We don' always hear the good news in the media but there is some good news in the Real Estate market. Needham offers a wonderful community with the finest of schools both private and public.  I know that often those living in the city want...

There are 147 active single family home on the market in Needham, MA ranging from $395,000 to $3,295,000.  Single family homes are still selling quickly I believe that Needham home owners realize that it most important marketing that can be done for their home is to price it right.  Those properties that remain on the market are not at the right price yet or they would have gone. There are 67 open houses.  Below is the Open House list for Needham tomorrow, Sunday, June 26th by tour hours:         71245876 ACT 962 Webster St Needham, MA  11 room, 5 bed, 2.5 bath Colonial 16 Jun 25 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM $989,900     71252134 NEW 37 Booth St. Needham, MA : Needham Heights   8 room, 4 bed, 4 bath Colonial 3 Jun 25 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM $779,000     71233902 ACT 28 Oak Knoll Terrace Needham, MA ...
