Open House Turkey
Today was a beautiful day – perfect for hitting the trail in search of real estate after celebrating with Mom. I was out with some home buyers and part of our tour took us to a couple of open houses in Belmont.
When we walked out of the open house who did we find but this turkey. I’ve heard of wild turkey sightings in Cambridge and nearby towns but this was my first encounter. He was beautiful – made me want to reconsider Thanksgiving.

I’m a magnet for odd urban animal sightings for some reason. Here’s a series of photos of an opossum in Porter Square I stumbled upon recently.

Belmont MA Real Estate Sales In January 2010
Welcome to the Belmont MA Real Estate Report
Already time for another monthly market report! Where do the days go? Here’s a look at Belmont MA real estate sales in January 2009.
Now that I’ve got a year’s worth of these reports on the blog it’s interesting to look back at last year’s statistics. There’s a striking difference in the year over year Belmont numbers.
Far more sales closed in January in Belmont in 2010 than in 2009. And yet the number of properties for sale at the end of the month is far lower this year than last. If you’re thinking of selling the numbers look very good – increased demand and less competition.
Belmont Homes On The Market:
53 homes were listed for sale in Belmont on Januray 31, 2010 for prices from $159,900 to $2,275,000. Homes had been on the market an average of 189 days. At this time in 2009 there were 78 residential properties listed for sale in Belmont.
Belmont MA Real Estate Sales in January 2010:
18 homes sold in Belmont in January. Properties had been on the market an average of 124 days and sold for an average of 96% of the asking price. This is a huge jump over the month of January 2009 when just 5 homes sold in Belmont.
7 single family homes sold in January for prices from $445,000 to $2,010,000. The median sales price was $745,000. Houses were on the market an average of 119 days and sold for an average of 96% of list price.

Documenting Belmont Buildings Destined for Demolition
26 Harris St, Belmont, MA
Documenting Belmont Buildings Destined for Demolition Have you ever noticed how difficult it is to visualize a building once it’s gone?
This happens to me even on streets I drive down every day.
When all that’s left is a gaping cellar hole, or there’s a new building on the lot where an old one once stood – you scratch your head and ask “What was here before?”
And in recent years with teardowns becoming all too frequent our architectural memory becomes even more fractured.
The Belmont Historical Society has started a project to photograph the houses destined for demolition.
566 Trapelo Rd in Waverly Square
The program began in 2008 and I would imagine was prompted in part by the outcry about the Belmont Hill School’s demolition of what may have been New England’s first Modernist house, designed by architect Eleanor Raymond.
There are only two photographs on the Society’s webpage for the project, both from 2008. Perhaps with the real estate market upheaval demolitions paused in Belmont in 2009 – I don’t know. Hopefully the project is ongoing.
Check out the photos of demolished Belmont houses on the Belmont Historical Society’s website. One is a sweet bungalow, the other a two-story mansard with turret in Waverley Square. The buildings that replaced them can be seen at right.
Not that a photograph is enough. But it’s a start. And maybe with enough Before and Afters we’ll think a little longer about allowing our older, smaller houses to disappear one by one.
