Do you know that Chris Dawson, the Technology Director of the Athol-Royalston Regional School District, is a nationally respected authority on education technology?
Do you know that the New England Association of School and Colleges restored its unconditional accreditation earlier this year to Athol High School?
Athol MA schools are showing progress and promise. If you live in Athol or Royalston, or if you're thinking about moving to the Athol-Royalston area, that's good news.
Lou Barnes also said, "This crisis is officially public property." He's gotta be right about that. The Federal government, fresh from taking over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, proposes to spend $700,000,000,000 to buy up troubled mortgages - and it may not be enough.
Will the latest actions keep lenders lending and stabilize real estate prices in towns like Athol and Orange, where the average home price has dropped 20% since 2005? That's what's supposed to happen, but don't break out the party hats. While the worst may have passed for now, we are still in uncharted territory and we still have a long way to go.
As I've said before, Homes & Land is the best free real estate magazine distributed in the North Quabbin Region.
On page 16 of this month's issue, Four Columns Realty presents 10 North Quabbin Region homes. Here they are, with street addresses. Drive by and check these homes out:
This month's Homes & Land is available at Four Columns Realty (map), Hannaford and other locations around Orange and Athol.
Yes, it's just $55,000.
Bill Rogers says that this priced-to-sell home at 281 Cottage Street in Athol (map) "needs some TLC, but it has a new furnace, new electrical service, new insulation and a new chimney liner."
Contact Bill Rogers to find out more.
Here's another great value, just on the market, in Millers Woods and Riverbend, the Athol-Orange area's leading 55-and-older community (see Remember Beatlemania?).
This home, at 80 Earl Drive (map) off Daniel Shays Highway in Athol, has 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, plus a 12 x 12 rear deck. The reason it's such a a great real estate value is that it's brand new.
If you're 55 or older and ready for a move, this property could be what you've been looking for. Contact Paul Riendeau for more info.
Four Columns Realty is offering a 3 bedroom mobile home in this community. Located at 31 Earl Drive in Athol, Massachusetts (map), the home in great condition. It was remodeled just 2 years ago and comes with an energy-efficient pellet stove (pellets included).
At less than $70K, this home is a bargain. Maybe not quite the bargain that Beatles tickets were - the poster above says that tickets for the Beatles at Shea Stadium sold for $4.50 to $5.75. But, if you're 55 or older and ready to downsize, this property is worth checking out.
Contact Bill Rogers to arrange a showing.
