DIFFERENT STORY BEHIND JULY REAL ESTATE NUMBERS?
Sales of single-family homes and condominiums fell in July across Massachusetts, according to the monthly report from The Warren Group of Boston. But, responding to our Aug. 26 online story on that report, one reader sees things differently:
“These reports regarding inventory don’t seem to reflect Central Massachusetts. In the past few months, I’ve seen the number of houses on the market steadily rise while sales are essentially flat.”

WORCESTER IS NUMBER 1 … FOR BAD DRIVING?
Just about all of us have road warrior horror stories from driving in Massachusetts. But is Worcester really worse than Boston, as implied in Allstate’s recent survey on automobile collisions in the top 200 metropolitan areas in the U.S.? We posed that question last week on LinkedIn:
“OK, maybe at Kelley Square … but Philly is much worse.”
LinkedIn group member Sharon Gooch-Zebal
“I guess I’m getting old, but sure do remember when there was almost no traffic on 290 at rush hour.”
LinkedIn group member Christopher R. George
