The Real Estate market much like many other Metrowest communities went through a correction that started in the Spring of 2005. Prior years were marked by a rapid increase in market values. Since 2005 home values steadily declined through out the area until about the middle of 2012 when inventory levels started to drop. The Real Estate market in 2013 was far more stable with many housing pockets showing appreciation. The trend has continued into 2014 and the Holliston real estate market has followed right along with it.
Holliston has a mix of housing from the antique village colonials which can mostly be found in the section of town known as “Mudville” just outside of town center, to executive style developments scattered throughout the town to a couple of nice townhouse neighborhoods. One of the town house neighborhoods carries some fame as a famous place in American history.
“Balancing Rock” which is an over 55 active adult community was once visited by George Washington in 1789. As the story goes Washington led his entourage from Boston to New York via what is now Route 16 which runs through the center of town. There is a large rock that balances precariously on another rock hence the name of the neighborhood.
Washington wrote in his diary the road in Holliston that would eventually be honored with his name, “”an indifferent road, diversified by good and bad land, cultivated and in woods, some high barren, others low, wet and piney.” In his travels when confronted with “Balancing Rock,” Washington and his cohorts took the opportunity to have some fun and tried their best to tip the rock over. According to stories, the General himself, after being quite amused, added his muscle in an attempt to push the rock off its natural pedestal. Washington’s efforts and those of many others over the years have been unsuccessful as Balancing Rock still stands today.
