The Land that Time Forgot -- Waltham Real Estate Review for 2009

Did you get the pun up there in the title? The play on words? Time? Waltham? Waltham Clocks. Get it?...Ahhh never mind.

Be that as it may, Waltham was certainly the "land that time forgot". Did the economy over the last few years forget to give the kaibash to Waltham? It would seem so.

In 2009, 236 singles went to the "deed shop". That is a dip from 2008's 265, but the average price of those 2009 homes banged out to $412,000 versus 2008's uhhh, $412,000 -- the same "nada" difference. Also days on market changed but a wisp of a hair in the windmills of time: 82 days for 2009 against 85 days for 2008.

It appears Steady Eddie lives in Waltham. I doubt there will be much change in the new year. Based on these numbers we can predict how the market will be. So accurate -- you can set your watch on it.
