If you are in the market for a well kept home in a fantastic Milford neighborhood then looking no further than this home in The Highlands! There is no doubt The Highlands is one of the most popular neighborhoods in town. It is located on the Hopkinton side of Milford and offers an easy commute to major routes.

9 Winterberry Lane has most things buyers want in a property including a cul-de-sac location and incredible level fenced backyard. In my opinion the lot is easily one of the best in the neighborhood! Stepping inside you will immediately feel the pride in ownership as the owner has done a great job keeping a great home as well as adding appropriate upgrades that buyer's want.

My favorite two areas of the home are the kitchen and family room. The kitchen is beautiful with light Oak cabinetry, and recently added granite counters and stainless steel appliances. The kitchen just pops! The whole room is flooded with natural light through a slider that overlooks the outstanding yard, deck and patio.

For those that like an entertainment size family room you will just love what you find here. In fact the family room would best be described as a "great room" with it's large flowing space. This exceptional room is appointed with a brick fireplace, built-in window seat and two gorgeous palladium style feature windows.

There are also a formal dining and living room that have hardwood floors and a very nice walk-out bay window for terrific sunlight. A first floor powder room and laundry area round out the first floor.

The second floor has three excellent size bedrooms including a nice master suite with full bath and walk-in closet. Another nice touch is the walk-out bay window. The family bedrooms are serviced by a full bath as well.

Last but not least the home has additional finished space in the lower level. This is very flexible space that could be used for any number of things including a second family room, exercise area or in home office. There are Pergo floors and plenty of closet space. The lower level is a professionally finished space by Owens Corning.

In total there are 8 rooms, 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. The total gross living area is about 2702 square feet. There is a two car garage and the lot is .35 acres. The taxes for 2011 on this Milford home were $5725.00

No matter if you are a fan or not you've got to say it was a great game.  The Ravens were stunned those last few minutes.

Love the score 23 to 20. Nice.  How sweet it is.  It was a nail biter.

Steven Tyler is a native after all.  He is the owner of the Needham restaurant Blue on Highland and

it is fabulous.  Just a mention of Needham of course.

Heading for Indy.  Congratulations AFC Champs.  You deserve it.  What a night.  What a great night!

Go Patriots!  All the way and on their way!

Yay Super Bowl XLVI

I read an article this week about how the median price in the US is rising again. That caused me to look at Barnstable County to see if that is the case here. Here is what I found.

Median Price $ 178    218    248    305    351    398   410    381    390    329    336    339    334

The data does not indicate that the median price has begun movin upward yet. So, if you are a buyer and the national median has already begun moving upward, this could be the indicator that the market has bottomed out.  If median price is moving upward nationally, but prices on Cape Cod haven't seen that movement yet, you could be ahead of the curve by buying now.

When you look at the last set of numbers, the last four years show a relatively stable median price. Median price does not usually stay as static as this data says it has.  The years from 1999 to 2005 show an increased median from $178K to $410K. For the years from 2008 to 2011 the data shows an almost flat median price.

Are we at the bottom? There is a lot of pent up demand. Inventory is lower than it has been since 2005. The national median is reported to be increasing. We may be at the bottom.
