Westfield, MA November Road Construction Update

Main Street Westfield construction

The City of Westfield has been undergoing a massive amount of park and road improvements that have created some challenges for residents as we encounter traffic delays in seemingly every part of town.

There is much progress being made, however, and some very good news on the near horizon.

Firstly, the paving of Main Street is moving right along and will soon be complete. But here is the big news that I found most exciting:

”

Great River Bridge Project:

The contractor laying pavement on the bridge deck.  They are continuing on a plan to begin traffic flow going southbound on the renovated bridge during Thanksgiving week – weather permitting.

As a reminder this is a State funded/State controlled project and we are gathering information and moving it out to you as it becomes available.”

Can you believe it folks?  We will soon be able to use both bridges…yippee!

The City of Westfield has a wonderful page that provides weekly construction and traffic updates.

On Foreclosure, Short Sales and First Time Buyers in Western MA

COMMERCE CITY, CO - SEPTEMBER 03:  Local resid...

The economy is creating a strange situation.  On the one hand, people are in tight spaces and are being forced to face reality and leave their homes via distressed sales like a Short Sale or Foreclosure.

On the other hand, home prices in Western Massachusetts have hit what many consider the bottom and interest rates are the lowest we are likely to to see in our lifetime.  This creates a great buying environment, especially for investors and first time buyers.

 

Here are some interesting facts that were brought up at the Massachusetts Association of REALTORS state conference earlier this fall…

 

– They just raised the “Right to Cure” in Massachusetts…. It’s a minimum of 150 days before and bank/lender can start foreclosure proceedings… (This is due to the volume of foreclosures)

– 1 out of every 3 properties in Massachusetts are distressed…

– 34% of all sales (2010) were first time home buyers…

– 13% of all sales are short sales …

– 27% of all sales are foreclosed properties.

– 22% of all sales are investment properties.

– 35% of all sales are cash sales.

If you are a homeowner in Western MA that needs help with a distressed sale, I have the experience it takes to get your home sold and help you move on with your life.

If you are a home buyer in Western MA, I can help you to find the best opportunity for you no matter if you are a first time buyer, investment buyer or move up buyer.

Homeowners Insurance Information Following The Blizzard In Westfield, MA

Tree On House in Westfield after blizzard

I have been seeing a lot of questions on Facebook and hearing people ask questions on the radio about their losses. One question that kept coming up was, “Is there anyway to recoup the expense of the ruined food that I had to throw away?”

Since I know I threw out several hundreds of dollars worth of food myself, I figured this question would be one that many could use an answer to. I decided to reach out to my friend and insurance agent, Mary Benjamin of Roger Butler Insurance, for the answers.

I asked Mary about the the food loss as well as other homeowners insurance questions that might apply after a catastrophic weather event like the Blizzard of October in Westfield, MA.

To find out if you can get your food losses covered by your homeowners insurance and answers to other concerns that Westfield homeowners might have, watch this video:
