Harvard and
Bolton are proud apple producers. Welcome to Harvard, Bolton, and Boxborough!
Bolton
Bolton is known for its apple orchards,
its bucolic country roads, its easy accessibility via Rte. 495, and as the
host of the immensely popular Bolton Fair, held in early autumn. You won't find
a grocery store here, or a department store, but you'll know you're in Bolton
when you see its distinctive flame-red street signs. Bolton is growing, with a
considerable amount of new construction, in the $500,000+ range, but there is a
minimum lot size of 80,000 square feet (for most subdivisions), with a 200-foot
frontage requirement, helping to ensure that this lovely town retains its rural
character.
Harvard's
Bare Hill Pond
Harvard
Almost everyone who drives through
Harvard falls in love with it, and it's easy to understand why. The town
has jealously guarded its small-town, country quaintness, and is working hard
to preserve it. Whatever the season, Harvard's rural byways are relaxing and
beautiful, in an unplanned, just-natural sort of way. There is a considerable
amount of open space under the jurisdiction of both the town and the federal
government, and the panoramic views from Harvard's hills can be breathtaking on
a clear day. New construction occurs in isolated pockets, but not nearly as
much as in adjoining towns.

Real Estate Contracts >Clean Contracts
"Clean" is a term that is often used to describe an offer on a house. A "clean" offer does not refer to the price of the house, but to the terms of the agreement. If you really want a particular house, the "cleaner" you can make your offer, the better.
What are the characteristics of a clean contract? A contract is considered "clean" when the buyers are paying cash or are clearly qualified for a mortgage, the sale isn't contingent on the sale of another home, the buyers don't ask the sellers to carry any of the financing, and if the closing date coincides with the sellers' needs. A clean contract doesn't have any unusual requests for repairs or insistence that certain articles convey that would not ordinarily stay in the house. A clean offer has an important competitive edge if you are offering less than full price or if you are in a situation where there is more than one offer on the property.
