Mitt Romney, former governor of Massachusetts, decided it was time to liquidate some assets. So what did he do, he put his tiny little Utah ski chalet up for sale. The small home comes in at around 9,500 sq. ft. The home sits on 11 acres and has been called the “perfect retreat” by it’s owners. The Deer Valley home is currently priced at $5.25 million. Romney has also decided to sell his local mansion in Belmont Ma. The home is slightly smaller than the ski chalet coming in at 6,400 sq. ft. The pink Belmont colonial sits on 2.5 acres and has an incredibly well maintained lawn. The price for this former first home has yet to be determined.

How Does a Job in Real Estate Rank
So the new employement data has recently come out. With that in mind, Jobsrated.com has just rated 200 different jobs and it’s time to see where we stack up. I can tell you, that real estate was not number one, that belonged to Mathematician’s. Real estate was instead just above shoe maker/repairer. I must say I’m quite surprised by these results. Our country is one that has always held real estate itself, in very high esteem. It was for a long time one of the leading qualifications to be able to vote and one of the three main pursuits Thomas Jefferson orginial proposed for declarations. However, I will go further back and give original credit to the writings of John Locke. Either way, Real Estate should be held in higher demand than 121 out 200. Don’t you guys agree?
What’s On The Market?
There has been a lot made of the fact that buyers don’t have a lot to choose from and that’s why they aren’t buying. Others argue that buyers can’t get a mortgage and that’s the reason for the percieved lack of sales. Still, some others argue the economy is so bad no one is interested in buying. No matter what opinion you can take, there is only one fact that you can look at, the actual number of condos for sale. Keeping this in mind, I’ve listed below the number of condos for sale in each neighborhood. Some neighborhoods are ok, other are a little light.
