Boston Condo Sales Up
The Boston condo market continues to grow stronger. According to a recent Boston Globe article, condo sales have jumped an astonishing 29% since this time last year and the median sales price has seen a 6% increase. Consumer confidence has been regained in the market place and many buyers are beginning to re-enter the market taking advantage of low interest rates. The Waterfront market alone has shown record setting growth over the past year with a 21% increase in median sales prices and a 4.82% increase in price per square foot. CL Waterfront Properties, LLC president, Carmela Laurella, was quoted in the article saying; “We have more demand than we have property to sell…We can barely list anything without it going under [a purchase agreement] within a couple of weeks.” For questions and inquiries about Boston real estate please contact CL Waterfront Properties, LLC.

State Bans Daytime HazMat Trucking On City Streets

Hazardous Materials Carriers Routed Around The City During Daylight Hours

After many years of complaints, appeals, and petitions from local residents and businesses, state government has overturned a 2009 decision to allow HazMat trucks without Boston destinations free use of city roadways. Banned from city streets in 2005 after the opening of the Big Dig and the removal of the elevated expressway, the trucking lobby was able to get the ban overturned in 2009 citing revenue loss due to the added time and expense of routing commercial traffic around the city on Route 128. Trucks carrying hazardous materials are not allowed in any city tunnels, which forced drivers onto the main roads of the city in order to resume travel on I-93.
Trucks which have legitimate business to do in the city are still allowed to do so; using the city as a shortcut, however, is expressly prohibited. The simplest route around the tunnels, if one were to follow the now underground expressway route, is on the surface roads bounding the Rose Kennedy Greenway. Traveling through the heart of the revitalized Waterfront, HazMat trucks pose a serious threat to the safety of the surrounding area, as incidents like last summer’s massive explosion on Route 1 in Saugus illustrated. Local residents and business owners, among them Carmela Laurella and Vito Ascolillo of CL Waterfront Properties, stated as much in a petition which ultimately swayed MassDOT to uphold the daytime HazMat trucking ban.
This move came as wonderful news to those concerned with the safety of the city; gasoline tankers using Waterfront streets to cut through town passed by hundreds of businesses, schools, and residences on their way to their end destinations. Hazmat trucking is still allowed at night, although locals are working hard to end that practice as well. State signage will announce the new route around the city for one month, with the regulation going into effect June 13th. To find out more about the positive impact this will have on Boston’s Waterfront, or to learn Boston Waterfront homes, contact the local experts at CL Waterfront Properties today.

We Specialize in Boston's North End And Waterfront
Our Clients’ References Are Our Best Advertising
We always love to hear from satisfied clients – this glowing reference came from a recent sale in the North End:
“4/17/2012 – We owned a high end condo in the North End with a very unique 2000 sq. ft. outdoor deck. Because it was so unique, Carmela and her staff did everything possible to make certain it sold. Their approach was always professional, creative, timely, gracious and helpful.
They provided input on removing personal items, staging if need be, lighting, high quality photographers at the time of the day when the deck looked its best ( even if it meant 2 or 3 shootings), were candid in their assessment of value compared to the real estate market; answered and returned phone calls within minutes (even on weekends); made certian the unit was opened and closed properly before and after showings: sought advertising by having write-ups in the Wall Street Journal, Boston Home, Boston Globe; provided links on the web site to TV shows and magazines in which our home was featured; made suggestions on details that should or should not be addressed and generally were very very service oriented and customer oriented. I would use Carmela Laurella again in a heart beat.
– Karen L. Semmelman, Boston Ma”
