Barre Vermont will not be without a bookstore.  This is great news for everyone in Central Vermont.  The only bookstore in Barre closed at the end of December, but luckily there are plans to open a new bookstore in the same location.  Next Chapter will open its doors a week from today, and all of Barre and the surrounding towns can rest assured that they can soon peruse a wide selection of books once again.

What is a town without a bookstore?  Small town bookstores have been falling by the wayside with the advent of internet services like Amazon, electronic readers like the Kindle and the Nook, and huge super bookstores like Barnes & Noble.  But for avid readers and book enthusiasts nothing can replace a small town bookstore and luckily for anyone living in Barre Vermont nothing has to.

Barre VT Real Estate, Lowest Mortgage Rates of Year

May 30, 2011 by Leave a Comment

Barre VT real estateConsidering buying Barre VT real estate?  Mortgage rates are the lowest that they have been all year.  This past week mortgage rates for a 30 year fixed rate loan were averaging 4.6%, and a 15 year fixed rate mortgage was averaging just below 3.8%. These are great rates for anyone considering buying a Barre property.

Central Vermont real estate is benefiting from the nation’s slow road to economic recovery.  Real estate sales volume has failed to meet expectations which is helping keep rates low and even causing them to drop more.  These low rates are adding to the affordability levels in Barre, as well as throughout Central Vermont.

Please contact us today to learn more about taking advantage of today’s fantastic affordability levels.  In addition to having access to all Barre real estate that is currently listed for sale we have access to all properties in the Central Vermont area.

Tax credit for first-time home buyers?

November 10, 2010 by Leave a Comment

When Barre business man Charlie Semprebon passed away, he left millions of dollars for the city of Barre in his will with the intent that it to be used “for the specific purpose of providing for civic improvements that the city cannot afford to pay for out of the general fund budget.”

Mayor Thomas Lauzon would like to use a portion of the multi-million dollar endowment to create the Barre City equivalent of a now-expired federal program that created tax breaks for first-time home buyers.

WCAX covered the story, and recently interviewed John Biondolillo.

“You’ve got a good selection of properties- you’ve got the lowest interest rates, probably in our lifetime- and there’s still some people that are sitting on the fence. So things like this tax credit might be enough to push people off the fence, like it certainly did the last time the federal government did it,” John stated.

Barre Town to vote on town forest

September 28, 2010 by Leave a Comment

The Town of Barre has proposed to create a community forest out of land mostly owned by Rock of Ages. The 300+ acres of land runs from Upper Websterville to Upper Graniteville, and could potentially include a trail by the Millstone Trails Association.

The Trust for Public Land, a national land conservation organization, is leading the real estate negotiations and financing for the project by signing letters of intent with Rock of Ages regarding six separate parcels totaling 340 acres.

The Barre Town Select Board urge the community members to vote this coming November on the development of a town forest. Although it would cost the town an estimated $8,000 in municipal taxes on an annual basis, it would protect local water supplies and open up the recreation for Barre Town.

There are many homes for sale in Barre Town that are ready to move in! Check out www.BCKRealEstate.com or contact one of our agents by phone at (802)479-3366 or visit us at 86 North Main Street in downtown Barre.

Barre starts reconstructing Main Street

August 10, 2010 by Leave a Comment

The 3-year construction project known as The Big Dig is finally starting in downtown Barre, after years of waiting and wondering if it is ever going to happen. Costing nearly $17 million, the town also has a website providing updates on the long process called We Dig Barre. Monday they began ripping up the sidewalks and burying the power lines. By the end of the year there’ll be new traffic lights, a new parking lot off Corti Street, and a remodeled three-quarter mile long stretch of sidewalk.

With the brand new Main Street on the way, Barre is a great area to move in to. If you’re looking for a home in Central VT, check out http://www.bckrealestate.com or call John Biondolillo at BCK Real Estate (802) 479-3366 and email at John@bckrealestate.com.
