Roslindale Massachusetts Single Family Market

There are currently 44 single family homes on the market in Roslindale as of this writing.
There have been 17 sales in the last 3 months (looking back from today). Essentially, there are 6 sales per month. It would take approximately 7 months to absorb all 44 units on the market.

It could take in excess of 2 months to put a property under agreement. The average time on the market for the 17 sold units was 104 days on the market.

I also looked @ the sales price to list price ratios on single family sales in Roslindale. They are coming in @ 92% of their original list price. They are coming in @ 96% of their adjusted list price. This means that we should be looking at selling about $12,000 off of the list price. Obviously we would like to come in much higher than this, however the data has shown that the properties are coming in at 4% off their list price for the past 3 months.

As far as price reductions, 23 of the 44 single family homes on the market have had their prices changed. The prices have been adjusted 38 times. The average price reduction was $28,312.61

In 2005, I worked with the #3 residential developers in Boston to market a 126 condo complex from the ground up. I developed the marketing plan, implemented the execution, and performed 42 of the actual sales.

I welcome the opportunity to serve you. Please contact me with any questions you may have about selling or buying a home in Roslindale, MA.

Loft Style Condos in an Old Mill in Boston on the Milton Line

History of Baker Chocolate

The Baker Mill Complex was once a thriving chocolate production facility located in the heart of Lower Mills.

Baker’s Chocolate began in 1780, when Dr. John Baker started producing chocolate in Massachusetts.
His first product was a cake of chocolate for making a sweetened chocolate drink. Distribution was mainly in the Northeastern United States
until 1804 when Dr. Baker’s son, Edmund Baker, inherited the family business and increased production with a state-of-the-art mill.

Production steadily increased through the century. The trademark logo of La Belle Chocolatiere was adopted in 1883 by the fourth-generation familial owner, William Henry Pierce, step-nephew of Walter Baker. Pierce began advertising Baker’s Chocolate heavily in newspapers to increase profits. Promotional offers of tableware and logo pins helped attract customers. At his death in 1896, the Forbes Syndicate bought the company. They eventually sold the company to the Postum Cereal Company, now known as General Foods. The company was passed onto Kraft Foods in 1989 when they acquired General Foods.

Turned to Condos in The Early 90’s

In 1990, a couple of the buildings were renovated and converted into a condo complex. The complex is located
along the banks of the Neponset River.

The units have extremely high ceilings and exposed brick and beams. There is a good mix of 1 and 2 bedrooms. The buildings are serviced by elevators.
The complex is pet friendly. One of the big draws is that it is located on the Redline for easy access from Milton/Lower Mills into the city near the Financial District and South Station.

All units have washer and dryer hookups. Each unit usually has a very good sized private storage compartment.

There are modern amenities located within the complex. On the short list are:

• Lap Pool
• Whirlpool
• Club Room
• Small Gym
