April 15, 2010 Opinion Winnisquam Echo ■ EDITORIAL ■ PET OF THE WEEK COLUMBUS Belmont’s buildings need a master plan ast week, after a request from the De- partment of Public Works to build a small structure for storage and working space, Board of Selectmen Chair Ron Cormier Lcomplained about the town’s lack of a comprehensive plan to address its building needs. He said that instead of looking at the big picture, the town “nickels and dimes” every building with band- aid fixes that cause more problems and cost more money in the long run. Surprisingly,the other two selectmen didn’t seem to agree. How could they not support this logic? So many of the town’s municipal buildings are in dire need of more space, renovations and repairs that at some point, the temporary fixes aren’t going to work anymore. Wouldn’t it be better to plan for that even- tuality rather than focus solely on the immediate needs?

THE MARKET VALUE OF YOUR HOME If you are considering putting your home on the market, the first step you would want to take would be having a CMA (comparable market analysis) done. A CMA is a free service REALTORS® will provide for you to determine the current market value of your home. The CMA will show you prices of comparable homes in your area that have sold and homes that are currently on the market. The CMA will give you a rough idea of what your home would be worth, given its size, condition and local market condi- tions. Once listed it is advised to have your CMA updated at different intervals if your home has not sold to make sure you are in line with the changes in the market. This would be especially true if you are getting no activity on your home.
