The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1901-11-22
Local Property May Have the Call for
Spring Market but Suburban Estates
Will be Brisk Without a Doubt
WHERE TO FIND THE LOCAL VALUES

| Although 1t is generally conceded in
real estate circles that the week pre-
ceding Thanksgiving is one of the most
| dull of any in the year, there have
been some conveyances of note in the
| Worcester district. While naturally
many of the merchants have had lit
tie or no business, the fluctuations OF
the market in the right direction have
| proven something of bonanza Tor cer-
| tain of the dealers in this city.
| AS is usual at this time of year the
majority of men engaged in the bust
ness are doing yeoman work, making
plans for the business of the coming
! year, and, consequently, are not do
| ing much in the way of actual trans
| fers. The Spy has stated times With
out number that real estate men nave
been in the enjoyment of business
during the past few months, unpar-
alleled in the history of the trade To-
cally, and many local men have put
wads to their credit in consequence
and therefore, look upon the bright
side of things for the coming months.
City property, during the early spring
months, will surely advance in price,
as rock bottom prices have prevailed
for such a period that there can be
no other natural inclination. Hereto
fore suburban property, as a whole,
has had the call in the market but
this condition, so say real estate men,
must necessarily change, and local
holders of desirable property will reap
a rich harvest.
AS will be seen by a careful pc
rusal of the columns of The Spy from
day to day, the opening up of city
property is a matter of positive assur-
ance. and very few weeks hence the
conveyances recorded will prove this
fact beyond gainsay
On the west side of Main street,
from Wellington to Piedmont Streets,
and extending back as far as Jaques
Avenue, there is vacant property Whlch
can remain vacant but short time
longer. as the growth toward the south
end is so marked. Several f1atterlng OF
fers have been made for this property
during the past few weeks, but 1t is
understood that the owners can 40
much better by waiting for the ad-
vance which the spring months Will
undoubtedly bring. The building OF
several department houses on Main, pc
tween Chandler and wellington streets,
wellington Street proper, Jaques Ave
nue. and Murray Avenue, are living eX-
amples of what may reasonably be ex-
pected.
Upon Forest Street the development
of the Wheeler estate into building lots,
as told about in The Spy of this issue
and subsequent publications, is occupy
ing the attention, not only or real es-
tate men, but prospective homes seek
ers. Many persons have asked The spy
real estate man about these lots, and
Mr.. Wheeler is bound to have set
Element up there which will be cred
II to himself and lasting comfort TO

The plot opened by Asa L. Kneeland
on the line of Blackstone Valley street
Railway, as told about in this paper
also promises to be without parallel IN
This locality. The splendid possibilities
of the location have been demonstrated
by the opening up of the new line The
unique. practical and entirely possible
plan outlined by Mr.. Kneeland, by
which an ordinary wage-earner can
secure his own home and at the same
time enjoy the comforts of modern
life. have been talked about extern
sively since the announcement in the
Spy, a week ago.
Another firm, probably due to the
enterprise of The Spy in proclaiming
to the world what the possibilities are
in Worcester district, has come to the
fore and opened an Office locally one
member of the firm remains out OF
town, negotiating exchanges and sales
while the other remains in this city IN
the capacity of appraiser.
1t is predicted by real estate men
in the city and district that more trans
fers during the first four months in
1902, will be recorded than in all the
counties comprising central Massachu-
sets combined, owing to existing con-
ditions, which have been emphasized
in these columns from time to time.

lei Kent, register of deeds for this dis
