Blizzard of ’69, Gloucester

Posted on by Fredrik Bodin

a8945_402wm copyForty six years ago, almost to the day, the Blizzard of 1969 visited us. It dropped a mere 20 inches of snow. This is Gloucester’s DPW yard on Poplar Street, with National Guard and police vehicles in the yard and on the street. I think I see an armored personnel carrier on the right. The so-called “Lindsay Blizzard” killed 94 people. Mother Nature has a way of repeating herself, as does history.

#GloucesterMA Right now 8:10AM snow totals around 8 inches with higher drifts in places. It’s not close to a foot yet.

Zillow Talk, How to use salemdeeds.com and The MarketWATCH From Kenny MacCarthy

From: Gloucester
25 and it’s starting to feel
a lot like Christmas

Watching real estate data is my job. Zillow has a data base of over 4 million sales. They know how to track trends.

Important to note:

  • Homes close to Starbucks vs Dunkin Donuts have appreciated 5% more over the last 5 years.
  • It’s the “worst house in the best neighborhood” for a reason. Don’t buy it.
  • If you do the math, ARMs are almost always a much better deal than Fixed Rate mortgages.
  • Sometimes renting makes more financial sense than buying. I have a formula if you want it.

Is the time right for you to make a move? It depends. Let me know if you want to talk about it.

If You Get Tired of the Snow, Go for a Swim!

Posted on by Nichole S.

The boys and I met my mom, dad, sister, and nephew for a super yummy breakfast at the Cape Ann Marina this morning and then spent a couple of hours swimming in the pool….and having a couple of mimosas.

While there, I bought my February School Vacation Pool Pass!  SUCH a great deal!  For $59 a family of four can use the pool all week long (ending 2/22). If you have more than four in the family there is an additional fee per head.

A totally easy way to spend some time, get some exercise, and tire out the whippersnappers!  A total bonus is that you can order lunch/dinner/drinks while there.

Cape Ann Marina Resort   Call and ask them about the deal….or stop on by!

Hi Joey,

Thought I’d send you these photos of what it’s like near Lanes Cove right now.  Notice the car antenna in the second picture.

Hi Joey–Attached is a photo of my front porch in Gloucester on Feb. 9. The drifting was so high in front of the door that a neighbor had to dig me out! Peggy Dillon
