Newton Market Fast Facts
1. It’s been yet another very busy month for The Vaghar Team. Take a look through recent listings of ours at 94 Highland Street, Newton, 4 Rebecca Road, Newton and 369 Bacon Street, Waltham.
2. The summertime period, from mid-June through the start of the school year, is traditionally the slowest season in the Greater Boston real estate market. For many homeowners, however, it serves as an ideal window to prepare their property for a fall sale.

Keeping Deals on Track
Earlier this month, we were faced with a unique hurdle. Before you can officially sell a home in Newton, Waltham or almost any town for that matter, you need a final water reading to get to the closing table. We found the main meter right away. The city noted there was a second one for the irrigation system and thought it might be located on the exterior of the property. We scanned the entire outside perimeter, but that turned up absolutely nothing. Even the homeowner had no idea a second meter existed!
That is when Cyrus took action. He spotted the remote touchpads outside and carefully traced the wire a full 50 feet, zigzagging through the ceilings of multiple basement rooms. He finally found the missing second meter. It was tucked way up in the ceiling joists, facing straight up. We have never seen a meter installed quite like that before.
With no complaints (okay, maybe just one or two), he hopped up on a table, snapped the required photo, and sent it directly to the city. Problem solved, zero delays, and we are keeping this deal right on track!
