Fewer Dorchester Homes On The Market


The national press tells us the housing market is recovering.  Judging from the local real estate market, maybe they're correct.  With interest rates at rock bottom lows, now is a great time to buy in Dorchester, whether to upgrade or downsize. 

According to a search of multiple databases, there are only a few Dorchester area homes currently on the market.  One is at 1539 County Road K.  This completely remodeled home sits on more than six acres.  The owner recently added a three-stall detached garage that is surrounded by new concrete and the home has a new deck to relax and enjoy the scenic views. New tile floors, new stainless steel kitchen appliances, new kitchen cabinets, remodeled bathroom, new carpet, a new water heater, new ceiling fans and motion lights. The heat pump has a new motor. The property includes an outbuilding big enough for all your toys and a second storage building for smaller items. Enjoy all this land and the peace and quiet that comes with it.  The listing price is $230,000.

Another property for sale is at 704 Lincoln in Dorchester.  This three bedroom, three bathroom property was built in 1999.  Taxes last year were around $1500.  This home could be quite a steal if someone is willing to give it a small amount of tender loving care.  What a bargain at $87,500.

There's the home at 508 W 8th Street, which has been on the market for a while, now. This is a fine home priced to sell at $107,000 -- with two beds, 1.75 baths. The property includes a generous kitchen (14 x 20) and spacious 15 x 25 family room with a stone fireplace. Just a block from the new school.

We have learned that another Dorchester property at 1536 County Road K is currently listed as "sale pending."  But if you're interested, you may want to inquire to see if you can still make a bid.

There is a foreclosed property somewhere on Sumner Avenue (we suspect the trailer home just north of the school property that you can have for $35,000. Also, there is a home just north of the football field with a Zalesky realty sign, but no online listing could be found.
