Belmont Follows National Lead in Housing Jump

It's early but sales in Town of Homes shows a steady increase from the previous year.

The good news being heard about US home sales reported over the past week is showing up in Belmont as the Town of Homes joins in the up-turn on sales of residential real estate. According to the Warren Group, the publisher of Banker & Tradesman, its housing data showed single-family home sales in Massachusetts rose more than 10 percent in January to reach its highest level since 2007.
