About this single-family home in Springfield

Built in 1920, this is a classic mid-century single-family home for Springfield. Homes from this era are solid, but by now they usually need a new roof, windows, updated electrical or a newer furnace to compete with renovated listings.

Behind on property taxes in Springfield?

Massachusetts charges 14% interest on overdue property taxes. If they stay unpaid, the town can record a “tax taking” at the registry of deeds, which puts a lien on the property and can eventually lead to the town foreclosing on it. Springfield’s collector: Springfield Collector/Treasurer (City Hall Rm 112) & Assessors (City Hall Rm 9), 36 Court St, Springfield, MA 01103.

Unpaid taxes are paid off at closing, so selling stops the clock and clears the lien.

Moving away from Springfield?

A job change, a move closer to family, or downsizing often means you need to sell on a deadline. Carrying two housing payments, or managing a vacant house from far away, gets expensive fast.

We can close in as little as 7 days, or on the date you choose, and you can leave behind whatever you don’t want to take.
