I took a few photos last week in the Lincoln Square area near Winnemac Park.  There has been low inventory of single family homes for a couple years.  But, there are still many new and ongoing projects that remind us of the swift sales and big investment in Lincoln Square housing.

A gut renovation and expansion of a home near Winnemac Park is ongoing.  The existing property was bought by a developer to renovate and sell.

Unit sales were down year over year from 2013.  But inventory is low and competition fierce for available houses priced for this market.
