We had our 4th(!) Anniversary party last Thursday at the office. A fun time. Photos of us and our lovely guests here.

ePlace is pleased to welcome Nancy Kendall, Real Estate Consultant, to our sales team.

Nancy comes to ePlace with a strong background in real estate, teaching, horticulture, and with a passion for music and the arts. Hard work, creative problem solving and a straightforward approach serve her clients well. Nancy’s careers and interests have always been community based. With degrees from Oberlin College and Lesley University, she has taught special education in Weston, Lexington and most recently in Cambridge. She also worked for 10 years at one of New England’s finest nurseries.

Nancy has broad knowledge of both suburban and urban markets. She worked as a real estate agent for the past 8 years in Wellesley and lived in Weston for nearly 30 years. Having recently bought a condo in Cambridge, Nancy’s expertise in researching condo associations is helpful to anyone moving into the city, and particularly to other “empty nesters” who are considering making that transition. Her familiarity with many schools is very helpful to her clients researching schools for their children.

An avid violinist, Nancy plays chamber music and is a member of several community orchestras. Her love of art has led her to volunteer at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts where she has been a docent since 2007.

This updated spreadsheet shows median prices and units sold for condos, single families, and 2-family homes in Cambridge and 32 other communities in 2011, and prices relative to 2005 (the peak) and 2010. This is useful of you’re looking for a home and want to know the median prices in the area, and can also be interesting for investors as a look at where prices have gone in recent years relative to peak and to the recent past. The data source here is MLSPIN (properties listed in the MLS database). Feel free to contact us if you have any questions or need help with a sale, a purchase, or a rental.
