Weston Real Estate Continues to Thrive

The Weston real estate market continues to thrive as we come out of the slowest season of the year. Let's face it; summer is more about beaches and vacations than shopping for a new home. With the new season upon us, seeking reasons to live in Weston is far from difficult.

Weston has one of the most excellent public school systems in the nation. Weston's schools are centralized, with all of the elementary schools in the center of the town, and the secondary schools just south of Route 30.

It has been shown that education and location are the two top reasons why buyers choose a certain place to live giving Weston a distinct advantage with the look and feel of a quaint New England town located just 12 miles from Boston. Close proximity to the city, combined with nearness to parks and outdoor recreation, is the best of both worlds for many.

Within the town's seventeen square miles are more than 1,200 acres, forming a green belt of recreation and conservation. The Weston Town Forest, covering 630 acres of land, provides public trails for walking, hiking, riding, cross country skiing and snow shoeing. With offerings like this it is no wonder that the real estate market is thriving.

According to MLS, in the last month Weston saw 19 homes sell with a median price of $1,385,382.

The homes ranged from a six room, three bedroom, two bathroom cape that sold for $639,900 to a 12 room, five bed, two full and 2 half bath shingle that sold for $2,900,000. The most expensive home sold was a 15 room, five bedroom, six and a half bathroom colonial. This home sold for $3,550,000.

The real estate market is expected to continue to thrive as we move into the fall –a great time of year for making a house, home.
