Excise taxes from these 20 sales totaled more than $6.2 million for the state and county.

 

"Despite a reduction in the residential real estate sector, the commercial real estate market in Norfolk County remains active," noted Register O’Donnell.

 

In total, there were 17,398 property sales recorded in the Norfolk Count during 2022, with an average price of $1,173,256.

 

"As we head further into 2023, we hope to see similar real estate activity, time will tell."

BARRON'S: Where Can I Afford to Live in Retirement? Senior Housing and the ‘Forgotten Middle.’

Where Can I Afford to Live in Retirement? Senior Housing and the 'Forgotten Middle.'

"Where am I going to live when I retire? 

And more important: Where can I afford to live when I retire? 

As housing costs soar, these are among the top questions retirees and near-retirees grapple with as they transition out of paid work and into a life on a fixed income. It's a particularly tricky issue for the so-called "forgotten middle" of the senior housing market—those who make too much to qualify for Medicaid and those who can't afford traditional senior living. "
