“The variety in these real estate transactions bodes well for the Norfolk County economy, with high-value properties selling in both commercial and residential sectors,” stated Norfolk County Register of Deeds William P.

Overall, the strength of the local real estate market underscores the county’s attractiveness and its potential for continued growth and prosperity.”
