Deer Run Estates in Ashland Massachusetts is the top luxury neighborhood in town. The streets located within Deer Run include Deer Ridge Road and Fawn Ridge Road. Deer Run is located off of Cross Street near the Hopkinton town line. There are 23 homes in this classy subdivision. One of the great features of this neighborhood is the fact that no two homes are alike. There are many neighborhoods you go into that you see the same design duplicated over and over again with just a few tweaks in the facade to make it look slightly different. At Deer Run Estates all the homes are very different! All of the properties were finely crafted to bring out each individuals taste. When you think of Deer Run you think "unique". Quite a few of the homes were built by Lakeside Builders although there wer... 09/18/2008

Ashland  10/22/07I was curious what segment of the market was more active. Where are buyers coming from and what Price range. Looking at the MLS statistics heres what I found.ashland active listings total  - 78 homes . On deposit 15 Homes. On deposit as opposed to solds gives me a better picture of whats happening over the past 30 days. Of these 15 homes 10 are under $500,000. and 5 are  $550,000 to 850000. It seems as though the starter home market is the most active. I f you are interested in a detailed report please contact me at 508 435-8786 or   www.MetrowestareaHomes.com I can provide comprehensive information to make informed intelligent decisions for you. 10/22/2007

Marathon Deli located at 250 West Street (Rte 135), Ashland Massachusetts is a terrific local sandwich shop on the Hopkinton/Ashland town line. Marathon Deli is owned by Doug Fifield and Jim Johnston, who established the business in 1997. They are currently celebrating their ten year anniversary in business. Although it doesn't look pretty this is an outstanding place to get a great sandwich or wrap! I happen to be a regular customer and frequent Marathon Deli at least a few times a week.  The atmosphere is extremely social. Doug and Jim really make you feel welcome. One of the great things about this place is that after only a few trips in Doug will have your favorite wrap memorized. I am amazed at how he keeps track of everyone. This place draws a crowd in the warmer months and most o... 10/17/2007

Most people who have made money in the stock market follow the principle of buying low and selling high.  In the housing market, it is often profitable to buy when people are selling...and sell when people are buying.  If housing prices are off then it is a GREAT time to buy!  But you have to stop the gloom and doom and educate  yourself to the facts in your community. I have provided many market conditions reports on these pages detiling sales activity comparisons of 2005/2006/2007. If you were thinking of buying a new home but were dissuaded by all the media reports, look at the facts for yourself. ALL REAL ESTATE IS LOCAL! These broad staetements on TV can not characterise every marketplace. Just like the stock market buyers are looking to buy at the bottom and are afraid - if I buy ... 10/17/2007
