The 12th Annual Art in August event kicked off last week in Winchester, opening our eyes and our minds to the work of new and local artists as their displays fill the town.   With many school districts cutting art classes in schools and declaring it “elective,” Winchester defends its decision to enforce art as an integral part of learning, expression, history, and community. 

 You can find the aspiring artistry of Winchester students at CVS, Moriarty and Berty Family Dentistry and Winchester Podiatry on Main St, as well as Mad About Shoe and Nick and Lizzie’s Sweet Surprises on Thompson St.  Art in the Park, on August 21st, is a family-friendly day in the common with an art sale, events, and entertainment from 10am to 4pm.

Over the past 12 years that this event has been ongoing, members of the community are able to revisit the same growing artists and see the results of another years’ skill-honing.  Without the support of a great community like Winchester, with a deep understanding of art and passion artists like Amy Wild would never have gotten the chance to discover this great gift.   A graduate of Winchester High School and Denison University, and now a renowned artist, designer, and art instructor, Amy returns to Art in August to support this display of a solid community and the talent of its young artist.

 This event brings the town of Winchester together to admire the talent and creativity of our very own, with thirty businesses displaying the work of forty-five artists.  Be sure to check out all the artwork and try to remember a few of your favorites. Look for their improvements and continued success next August, when Art in August returns for a 13th year of many more to come!

I recently spoke at the Women Council of Realtors "Digital Zone" presentation in Wellesley. I was more than excited to bring my knowledge about the digital world and my passion for social media to these women and it looks like they received it well...

“You’re an excellent speaker and I love the passion you have in what you do.  You really got everyone on the edge of their seats.”
-Suzy Ferrantino, Prospect Mortgage

 “Your presentation was riveting!  We got ALL 5s on our evaluation forms for our speakers, you were great!”
- Christy May President Elect, Women's Council of Realtors

“What a great afternoon with the Women's Council of Realtors at our monthly meeting today. Our very own Sven Andersen did a really amazing job with his market knowledge and techno tips.

Sven is one of the newest members to join WCR Boston. For any of you out there who are looking for a place to share ideas and grow your business you should get on board.”

With the recent ½ point mortgage rate decrease, buyers in the Winchester market are actively looking and making offers 

to purchase real estate. In recent months, many potential buyers held back, concerned about rumors of lackluster 

real estate sales. September has really brought activity back to the market, sometimes with multiple offers. 

Timing & pricing are the two key factors sellers must focus on in order to get their homes sold. We explain 

to sellers that you have to sell the house 3 times; 1st to the brokerage community, 2nd to the buyers and 

3rd to the appraisers. If we price the home correctly and get the property on the market at the right time, 

then we see activity within the first 3-5 weeks. Priced incorrectly, or not marketed properly, homes in 

Winchester will see little action. The following is a summary of current Winchester activity.

In the month of September, 15 homes sold in Winchester; the sales price averaged $625K 

and days on the market averaged 111 Days. For the same time period in 2006, Winchester

saw 16 sales with an average price of $616K [average days on market of 96]. September 2007 

turned out to be the 2nd largest production month for The Andersen Team this calendar year. 

This is a strong indicator that there are buyers and sellers ready to act. Timing and pricing 

is critical, but the market in Winchester remains solid.
