Light Foreclosure Activity in Wakefield So Far This Year
Rising real estate prices have reportedly helped keep foreclosure numbers lower in the area.
Foreclosure activity remains light in Wakefield so far in 2013, according to recent data from the Warren Group. The real estate information company reported that there were zero foreclosure petitions filed in town during the month of April, compared to four during that month last year. By the end of April, there had been four foreclosure petitions – the first stage in the foreclosure process – filed in Wakefield. For the same period in 2012, there were 13. This marks a decline of about 69% over the past year. The real estate market has improved dramatically in 2013 with median prices up 11 percent and this has slowed foreclosures," said Timothy M. Warren Jr., CEO of The Warren Group.

A Look at MarketStreet Lynnfield - From 1,000 Feet Up
Thanks to local resident Richard Shafner for these latest photos showing the MarketStreet Lynnfield site from a small airplane.
Several times in recent months, Richard Shafner has emailed us images of the MarketStreet Lynnfield project as seen from overhead in a small airplane. For example, here's how the site looked back in January from 1,300 feet above ground level, while this one dates back to last July and provides a look at some of the earliest stages of the construction project. The project is rapidly taking shape - both with the luxury apartments set to welcome their first tenants in early September, and with the several dozen businesses expected to open starting in late August - with others following throughout the fall.
