Real Estate Statistics |
The Ole Woodsman |

Randal Struckus, who lives at 6 Concord, has sold more property in PRV than any other realtor. With his knowledge of our development, I asked him to provide some facts about our property and how it compares to the rest of Massachusetts. Randal Struckus, of
Keller Williams Realty, states, "According to data
provided by MLS Property Information Network, Inc., there were
14 closed sales in 2004 at Paul Revere Village totaling 2.8
million dollars. The lowest closed sale was $184,000.
The highest closed sale was $210,500, with the average price
being $202,250 and a median price of $206,000. |
New England winter can bring unsurpassable beauty. A man who studied one of the smallest elements of winter was a Vermont Yankee farmer nicknamed "Snowflake" - Wilson A. Bentley. Read this interesting story.. The Old Woodsman always invites your comments and suggestions. Just send them here and they will be passed along. |

It was a ho-ho-holiday for the many area pets at
Dogfather's Bakery in N. Grafton, Ma.
The event was held Sat. Dec 18th and featured pet pictures with Santa, with proceeds benefiting NEADS of Princeton (dogs for disabled veterans). |

A special treat was an opportunity for a 15 minute session with Tina Hassett, an animal communicator. Wouldn't you LOVE to know what your pet thinks of you? Her interaction with Shania J and Crosby was fascinating- and guess what- Crosby loves Randy best! Oh well, maybe it's better if we don't know! We purchased delicious homemade DogFather treats for the more than 52 homeless Dobermans at our shelter and for our neighbors' pets- Shania J likes the aloha treats best- made with pineapple chunks and honey.
Visit DogFather's Bakery in 2005- it's a treat for owners and pets alike! - Laurie Guptill
Average - Most people understand the term
"average," which is why I provided readers with average
values. To compute the average, you add up all of the sales
prices for the year and divide that figure by the total number of
sales.
"Median" is a bit different.
Since most news reports quote median prices instead of average
prices, I also provided median prices so as to provide a proper
comparison. The "median" can be thought of as the
middle value in a distribution, above and below which lie an equal
number of values.
