The Chamber is offering transportation to Back Bay businesses on Wednesday, May 8.
Roughly a week after Back Bay was reopened to the public, the local chamber of commerce is lending a hand to the businesses affected by the April 15 Boston Marathon Bombings. The Newton-Needham Chamber of Commerce has teamed up with Fairway Independent Mortgage Corporation to provide free round-trip bus rides to the Back Bay next week. The trip will take place on Wednesday, May 8, and will allow locals to shop and dine at the stores and restaurants that lost business while Back Bay was shut down. “It’s unusual for the Newton-Needham Chamber to be promoting commerce outside of our two communities but this is a very worthy exception,” Chamber President Greg Reibman said in a statement. “We’re really pleased to be standing in solidarity with…

Two master suites on two levels is just one example of the many extraordinary comfort features within this Needham Cape.
Customized comfort and convenience. This was the noticeable direction the owners and builders proceeded when creating this beautiful Cape on Needham's Peacedale Rd. Their first approach was placing master suites on the first and second floors allowing the flexibility of single-floor living. Second, the kitchen is fully equipped with multiple high-end appliances and services. Lastly, its flexible floor plan also endorses a family's changing lifestyles and can easily evolve with its residents schedules and needs.

Low inventory continues to hamper home sales.
Needham's single-family homes actually rose in March, despite an overall decline statewide. The Warren Group blamed that decline on “shrinking inventory," which is “depressing sales volume." Single-family home sales in Needham rose from 23 in March 2012 to 19 in March 2013. Year-to-date, Needham has seen a total of 58 homes sold – compared to 51 in 2012, according to The Warren Group, which publishes Banker & Tradesman.
