$6 Million Weston Home Featured in The Boston Herald

2 Meadowbrook Road

Home Showcase: Get away from it all, but still have it all with Weston Colonial

Even if you’re not familiar with Patrick Ahearn’s portfolio, you might have already swooned over some of the architect’s timeless work and restorations on the Cape or in one of Boston’s tony suburbs.

Spanning styles, from a Cotswold cottage to a grand Colonial, Ahearn’s confident touch is all about livable elegance. With 2 Meadowbrook Road in Weston, just down the road from the Weston Golf Club, buyers will find a stately Colonial on 3.5 private acres.Nelson Zide

This may be an odd and particular fixation, but there’s something intensely satisfying about the home’s symmetrical exterior. As the long driveway winds past the home’s tennis court — lighted for evening matches — the home emerges, all 10,029 square feet of it.

Boasting six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, and myriad other spaces for working, working out or hanging out, 2 Meadowbrook Road is a home that might attract guests who won’t want to leave. And, with this much space, they may not have to.Jody Troderman

There’s a natural flow to living here. The chef’s kitchen opens to a sunny bay breakfast nook with views of the patio and lush grounds. After breakfast, kick back in the family room around the fireplace as glass-paned doors flood the room with warmth, or head to the...

Housing Market Setting Records, In Spite of Pandemic

Haverhill home

In spite of the pandemic, home sales are booming both nationally and here in Worcester County.

Sales increased by a record 24.7% from June to July, according to the National Association of Realtors, which said the gain is the strongest since the NAR began its monthly survey in 1968.

With the economy beginning to reopen and Realtors adjusting to doing more of their work online, it’s no surprise that July sales showed a significant increase from June. However, sales were also up 8.7% from July 2019 — before the pandemic.

Sales were driven not only by the re-opening economy, but by record-low mortgage rates. Unfortunately for buyers, low rates and a shortage of inventory boosted the price of homes sold by 8.5% from a year earlier to $304,100. Even when adjusted for inflation, the price is 3.4% higher than the price during the 2006 bubble.

We expect the current seller’s market to continue until inventory increases. Downsizing baby boomers will help add to inventory, but an increase in new construction is also needed. New housing was being constructed in July at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1,496,000 homes. That’s 22.6% higher than the June estimate of 1,220,000 homes and is 23.4% higher than the July 2019 rate of 1,212,000 homes.
