Each month, The Madden Team puts out an analysis for the Watertown real estate market, and this month the market looks busy.
Here is the Madden Team’s report:
Compared to last month’s statistics, there seems to have been an increase in new to market activity rising from 10 new listings last month at this time to 19 new listings this month. Pending sales remained at nine for last week, which is exactly the same as it was one month ago. The sold listings also remained relatively steady going from six sales on our last statistics post to seven sales this past week. Our current inventory has seen increases across every sector of the real estate market, with some large increases and some slight increases. Both Single Family and Multi-Families have seen slight increases since last month.

The Watertown Firefighters have announced their endorsements for Town Council in the upcoming Town Election, and not surprisingly none of the councilors who voted down the arbitration agreement in December made the list.
Rob Mannix, president of Local 1347 Watertown Fire Union, announced the endorsements this week on his Facebook page. Earlier this year, the Fire Union sent out questionnaires to Council Candidates (click here to see details). The firefighters endorsed the following candidates in the Nov. 3 election:
Town Council President – Clyde Younger
District A – Bob Erickson
District B – Lisa Feltner
District C – Rossella Mercuri
Councilors at large – Tony Palomba, Patryce Georgopolous, and Michael Dattoli
The only sitting councilor to get an endorsement was Palomba, who cast the lone vote to support the Arbitration Award. The other councilors voted against the award because they said it was not fair to other town employees because firefighters would have gotten raises in two years during the economic downturn in which other unions took no raise.
