Waltham is the place to be

According to this, the market is as hot as it can be in Waltham:

My Gram's house is still up for sale, with a price drop ($359):

Its been on the market for less than 60 days. My parents are frustrated about it, but it seems that according to Forbes, its following the average trend for the area.

Come on, you know you want to be my neighbor!

I posted it to my friend A. (you know her!) ;-)

She and her husband have been occasionally looking for houses in the area, they have a condo on the W. Newton/Waltham line and a growing family.

Good luck!

It really is a good sized house (and yard). My dad was five when they moved in, so its been in the family since then (50 or so years).

Roof is new, furnace (gas, forced hot air) is new, basement is all cleaned out/waterproofed and has a finished room, attic is HUGE with a lot of potential.

The windows are old, wiring is old (but is safe, not knob and tube), 2nd floor bath is old but is clean/works, and the exterior walls aren't insulated, but the attic floor is). Lead is questionable . . . its never been deleaded, but nobody ever had an issue with it in my family.

If we weren't so attached to our own house and if we hadn't done all of the work we had already have, we would totally be buying it to keep it in the family (perfect for a growing family who is willing to do some work at some point, but its in move-in condition).
