It’s not easy for a buildingthat seats about 18,000 peo-ple to feel like a home, espe-cially for Thanksgiving.
But for Long Island Shel-ter resident Tracy Smith,the TD Garden did OK.
“I think this is absolutelywonderful because peoplelike me don’t really have aplace to go on Thanksgiv-ing. I’m just grateful, reallygrateful,” said Smith.
She was one of the nearly800 people in need whowere served a full Thanks-giving dinner Tuesday aspart of the annual Table ofFriends event.
The event, put on by Gar-den Neighborhood Chari-ties with help from theFriends of Boston’s Home-less, featured prominentservers that included for-mer Bruins players, CelticsPresident Wyc Grousbeckand city officials.
“It’s bittersweet,” saidformer Bruin Ken Hodgewho has manned the turkeystation for the event’s 16years. “There’s a tremen-dous need for this. … Theturnout, it speaks volumes.”
Also handing out turkeywas Boston Police Commis-sioner Ed Davis while May-or Thomas Menino scoopedout stuffing.
Being served by those of-ficials was a “big honor,”Smith said.
“I think it’s wonderful.”

Kris Kringle isn’t the onlyone bringing cheer to peo-ples’ homes this season.
For the second year,South Boston resident SteveMahoney is hand-deliveringChristmas trees from NewHampshire farms to city-dwellers’ front doorsthrough his personal busi-ness, City-Trees.com.
“It’s a fun thing to deliv-er and puts people in thatChristmas spirit,” he said.
Last year, Mahoney deliv-ered hundreds of trees toresidents in Boston and thesurrounding suburbs.
“People generally call me‘the tree guy,’” he joked.“Ever since I could lift any-
thing, I have been cuttingdown trees.”
A New Hampshire nativewho worked at a tree farmfor most of his life, Ma-honey “felt compelled” tooffer Christmas tree deliv-ery service to busy Bostoni-ans to save them time fromtrekking through tree lotsduring the busy season.
And for an extra fee, Ma-honey even sets up the tree
for his customers. Starting the day after
Thanksgiving, Mahoneywill begin dropping off bal-sam fir trees of various sizesto those who order them.
There is a limited supplyof trees, so orders are on afirst-come, first-serve basis.
Co-owner of a SouthBoston bike shop, a slow cy-cling season allows Ma-honey to hit the forests tobring back firs for families.
“You become part oftheir holiday. The trees are... the centerpiece aroundthe Christmas season.”
Hub businessmakes Christmastree house calls
Steve Mahoney of City Trees will be delivering Christmas trees to customers throughout Boston this holiday season.

Assistant Attorney Gen-eral Ronald Weich de-scribed the review in a let-ter released Tuesday by Rep.Peter Welch, a Democratfrom Vermont, who had re-quested an investigation.
“Please be assured that ifit finds that individuals,banks or other parties mayhave violated the antitrustlaws, the department willtake appropriate action,”Weich wrote in the letter,dated Nov. 16.
Bank of America Corp.
said on Nov. 1 that it wouldn’t charge debit cardusers $5 per month, fourweeks after the firm’s an-nouncement of the feesparked a backlash fromcustomers and lawmakers.JPMorgan Chase & Co. andWells Fargo & Co. had previ-ously dropped plans forsuch charges.BLOOMBERG

Kermit the Frog andhis Muppet cohortshaven’t graced thesilver screen since
1999’s “Muppets fromSpace.” So where has theamphibious star been hid-ing? If his film, “The Mup-pets,” is any indication, Ker-mit has become a hermit,cloistered in the massiveBeverly Hills mansion heused to share with Miss Pig-gy (now an editor at FrenchVogue), speaking to almostno one besides his 1980s ro-bot butler/chauffeur. Butthe famous frog wants tomake it clear that the man-
sion and the seclusionare all for show.
In the film, you’reportrayed as rich
and out of touch.
How true to life is that?Well, that’s actually nottrue at all. We felt like thatmade a better sort of ideafor the story; but no, that’snot true. I think my fansknow who I really am. I’m apretty simple frog. WhenI’m not working, I go backto the swamp, relax andtake it easy. I’m not really a
part of the whole Holly-wood scene, and I’ve neverfelt the need to have a bigmansion. Metro’s logo is green. Do youthink it would be easier for usif we’d chosen a different color?Well, I don’t know. I thinkyou guys should stick togreen. As I say, it’s the colorof spring, it’s beautiful. Ihave no choice, so let’s justsay you have no choice also. Are there any causes that areclose to your heart?Well, obviously the envi-ronment. I mean, I’m afrog. Us frogs are sort of thebarometers for the environ-ment, like the canaries theyused to take into the coalmines. In this political climate, howdo you think it would be
received if a frog were tomarry, say, a pig?The truth is I think it’s prob-ably not legal in most states... But that’s probably alucky thing for me in thelong run, you know? I don’tthink Piggy and I are actual-ly going to tie the old knot,so to speak. So, I’m notpushing for it.Does she know that?Does she know I’m notpushing for it? I think sheknows. I think she’s, as theysay on “Dr. Phil,” in denial.By the way, I can only tellyou this because she’s in aseparate room. If she werehere, I’d have to go alongwith it.

stars for ‘TheMuppet Show’With early buzz on “TheMuppets” strong and
positive, talk has quicklyturned to the possibilityof bringing back theshow that started it all,“The Muppet Show.” Theoriginal series ran from1976 to 1981 andfeatured an impressiverun of guest stars. So ifthe show were to return,
who would Kermit liketo see stop by?
“I look back at the oldshows, and we had thetop Hollywood folks,”Kermit remembers.“Hopefully we could getthe same kind of caliberof stars now — the fewthat are left out there,
you know? Nothingagainst reality TV, but Ithink if we did nothingbut the Kardashians on‘The Muppet Show,’ itwould be a littlestrange. So I hope weget the Tom Cruises andthe Harrison Fords, youknow?”
The legend speaks about being a star, whether marriage is in his future ‘The truth is, I think it’s probably not legal in most states,’ he admits

‘TheMuppets’are back!‘The Muppets’Director: James BobinCast: Jason Segal, AmyAdams, Chris CooperRating: �����
When “Muppets” super-fan Walter (voiced by Pe-ter Linz) learns that awealthy oil tycoon (ChrisCooper) plans to buy theMuppets’ old studio lot todrill for oil, he goes on amission to reassemble
the now-disbanded crewto help them save theirproperty. Walter’s broth-er Gary (Jason Segal) andMary (Amy Adams) arealong for the ride.
It’s funny to see whatthe Muppets have beenup to since we last sawthem: Fozzie Bear nowplays in a Muppet tributeband in Reno, TheMoopets, Gonzo owns hisown sanitation factoryand Miss Piggy is theplus-size editor of VogueParis.
With all Muppets intow, the group plans atelethon to raise themoney, with skits like achicken group number toCee Lo Green’s “ForgetYou.” (Maybe they shouldhave renamed it “CluckYou” for the occasion?)
Hilariously self-refer-ential and filled with starcameos, “The Muppets”doesn’t disappoint.Adults will likely laugh ashard, if not harder, thanthe kids do.

Last year he played a myste-rious doctor in MartinScorsese’s “Shutter Island”and now Sir Ben Kingsleypartners up once again with“Marty” as he affectionatelycalls him, but for lighterfare. In “Hugo,” Sir Kingsleyplays one of the world’sfirst filmmakers ever,Georges Melies, who direct-ed “A Trip to the Moon” andhundreds of other silentfilms in the early 20th cen-tury. Sir Kingsley gaveMetro a few moments ofhis undivided attention tochat about the 3-D film-
making of “Hugo.” George Melies’ film “A Trip tothe Moon” is one of the mosticonic early films ever made.Do you remember where andwhen you first saw it?When I was at school, wewere able to watch some ofcinema’s masterpieces thatcame from way back. Ithink in and amongst themwas “Trip to the Moon.” Did shooting in 3-D for “Hugo”affect your performance at all?Yes. The 3-D camerabrought a kind of bonuswhere it was detail, detail,detail, — very little CGI —
which fed our performanc-es tremendously. Also, thescrutiny of a 3-D camera isquite alarming. You can seethe most delicate changesof body language and facialexpression, almost pulseand heartbeat. Of course,Mr. Scorsese would alsosay, “Keep it simple. Keep ithonest.” I mean, that’s al-most his maxim.On the set of “Hugo” youwere known for staying incharacter as Melies in his lateryears, when he was quitecranky and withdrawn. Why?Staying in character for me
was almost mandatory. I’mquite fit and slim, but I hadto strap on this pot bellyand I had to strap on thishump in my shoulders tohave this depressed body. Itwas going to be a huge ef-fort to take all this off so Ithought, “I must stay incharacter.” Even though hewas a sad man and some-what defeated, I quite en-joyed that I had to stay incharacter. I found it reallyfed the work.

Bill Nighy’s elasticity as anactor has served him well.The man perhaps most fa-mous for a playing an agingrock star in “Love Actually,”does cantankerous crab andjovial clown with equalmeasure of believability,which might be why he waschosen to be Grandsanta in“Arthur Christmas.” Nighy
plays the most recently (andresentfully) retired Santa inthe multigenerational Clausfamily. Nighy spoke aboutplaying a cranky old man,and his own family’s con-tentious holiday traditions.
You seem too young for this role.Yes, thank God. When I
went for the job, I thoughtI was going for FatherChristmas and then theysaid, “No, no, no JimBroadbent is playing Fa-ther Christmas, so it’sGrandsanta.” Well, he’s136. Thank you for notic-ing I am not quite 136.Where you looking for something different withthis particular role? You want somethingthat is different fromanything you havedone before, but al-so I wanted toavoid cliché. I want-ed to do something that Ihad never heard in a moviebefore. What were your ownChristmases like growing up?Mostly they were all right,depending on what yougot. We traditionally playgames and split the familyinto two teams. We imme-diately become fascisticand scream and shout ateach other. It’s quite seri-
ously scary because peoplereally scream at one anoth-er. They immediately be-come a team and if you’renot used to it, if you’re notready for it, it’s a shock.Did you believe in Santa? It’s all so long ago. Thetrouble with these sorts ofquestions is I am so old. Iam pretty sure I did. Yeah,I can remember writing anote and I can rememberputting it on the firewith my dad and it goingup the chimney and mydad lying to me, sayingit’s going to the NorthPole and Santa will readthe smoke. Yes, we arevery gullible as children.He’s going to read the
smoke — how’s that goingto work? “Love Actually” has become a Christmas classic.Did you consider that whenchoosing this project?I do like the fact that“Love Actually” has en-tered the Christmas lan-guage. I did seriouslythink when I read thescript for “Arthur Christ-mas,” “if they do thishalfway decently then itwill be a perennial” and Idid want to be a part of it.
HE’S NO EBENEZERThe almost-always jolly actor Bill Nighy is hoping
for a second seasonal classic with ‘Arthur Christmas’ “[Grandsanta] is136. Thank you fornoticing I am notquite 136.”NIGHY, ON PLAYING JIMBROADBENT’S CHARACTER’SFATHER IN ‘ARTHUR CHRISTMAS’

Everythingyou wantedto knowabout Santabut wereafraid to ask‘Arthur Christmas’Director: Sarah SmithCast: James McAvoy, HughLaurie, Bill Nighy, Jim BroadbentRating: PGGrade: �����
How exactly does SantaClaus get gifts into everychild’s home around theworld on Christmas Eve?With his S.W.A.T. team ofelves, of course. How hasone Santa given joy tochildren for hundreds ofyears? Well, there’s notone Santa, but a Claus
family, inwhichthere is anheir to theSantathrone forevery gen-eration. Asone Claus(Jim Broad-bent) is setto retire,
his ambitious eldest son(Hugh Laurie) is eager totake up the mantle, butit’s younger dweebiebrother Arthur (JamesMcAvoy) who has theproper Christmas cheer.
This clever British pro-duction is a family filmthat doesn’t reachchildren by pandering anddoesn’t engage the adultswith any mean-spiritedsnark. While not perfect,“Arthur Christmas” is nothrowaway holiday movie.

Youthful 30-year-old Elijah Wood finds it a bit oddto be voicing a parental penguin in ‘Happy Feet Two’ In the first “Happy Feet,” vo-cally challenged penguinMumble (voiced by ElijahWood) got the girl, so it onlymakes sense that “HappyFeet Two” finds Mumblegrappling with fatherhood— something new for theyoung actor best known forplaying a hobbit. We caughtup with Wood to talk abouthis penguin alter egogrowing up faster than heis and the joys of job secu-rity now that his FX series“Wilfred” has beenpicked up for a secondseason.
I’m pretty sure you’ve neverplayed a father before.Oh no. [Laughs] Only in thedigital realm. I’m 30now, so I supposeit’s not altogeth-er unbeliev-able anymore.
How was that to take on as an actor?It was cool. I think it was anatural progression forMumble. After he sort of ce-ments his relationship withGloria at the end of the firstfilm, it’s sort of natural thatthey would have a baby —the natural progression. It
presented aunique,
new step
in his life. And the relation-ship between him and Ericwas a fun relationship toplay out. How does recording with thewhole cast — especially Hank Azaria and RobinWilliams — enhance the animation experience?Well, having the two ofthem around is delightfuland entertaining, certainly,but they also are inspiring.
The things that Robinwould come up with vocallyfor both the characters hewas playing, the ideas thathe would have, it just kindof elevated everything. Healways brings a certain kindof energy to the piece andto the scenes. And I’d say thesame for Hank. You know,both of them are so incredi-bly gifted at what they do.Sometimes their energy canreally drive a scene. “Wilfred” got pretty dark inthe season finale. Will thattone continue in Season 2?I hope so. I love the wholeseason, but the latter half ofthe season — where it start-ed to go with being a littlebit more of a blend of thecerebral and surreal withthe comedy and the dark-ness — is kind of my fa-vorite combination of whatthe show is capable of.

FRODO THE FATHER A movie foreveryone and no one‘Hugo’Director: Martin ScorseseCast: Asa Butterfield, ChloeGrace-Moretz, Ben Kingsley,Sacha Baron CohenRating: PGGrade: �����
Many will be scratchingtheir heads seeing the di-rector of “Goodfellas”and “The Departed”attached to a familymovie — and one that’sshot in 3-D, no less. Butonce it’s clear that this isabout seminal filmmakerGeorges Melies as muchas it is about an orphanedboy living in the clocktowers of a French railstation in 1930s, it doesmakes sense.
While visuallygorgeous, “Hugo” seemsto be neither a crowd-pleaser nor one of Scors-ese’s trademark “auteur”pieces. Its high-minded-ness can sometimes keep
it from being any fun,and its more seriousthemes aren’t fleshed outenough to be as movingas some of Scorsese’s bestefforts. But the film hasheart at its core. It’s gor-geous to look at — andwhile it’s too long at overtwo hours, it’s neverschmaltzy. “Hugo” seemsto be urgently trying toconvince us that it’s aclassic. Surely for some, itwill be.

J. Lo andAnthony spendtime togetherIt might not be a reconcili-ation, but Jennifer Lopezand Marc Anthony reported-ly spent some quality timetogether earlier thismonth while filming theirreality show, “Q’Viva,” inPuerto Rico, according toUs Weekly. Anthonypicked up Lopez from theairport, and “Marc neverstayed in his hotel room,”the source says of their get-together. “It’s inevitable,”says the source. “Marc hasthis hold over her.” But the
alleged activity doesn’tmean the couple is gettingback together: “They maysleep together, but they’reover.”
Lay off KatyPerry’s uterusKaty Perry’s recent decisionto take some time off afterher current tour to “workon family” naturally ledsome to speculate that thesinger and husband Russell
Brand are alreadyexpecting, but Perry insiststhat’s not the case. “Hellno,” Perry tells Hollyscoopwhen asked if she’spregnant. But that doesn’tmean she’s opposed to theidea, as she recently toldEllen DeGeneres. “I want tohave kids. I’m totally finewith saying that,” she said.“I would love to have chil-dren. I think that’s one ofthe reasons you getmarried.”
Keibler is intooversharingStacy Keibler can’t stopgushing about boyfriendGeorge Clooney, announc-ing that they are “in love”via Twitter. “You know it’slove when your boyfriend
has elbow surgery twodays ago and takes you to aRavens game,” Keiblerposted to the social mediasite. “Especially when he’sa Bengals
fan.” Clooney and Keiblerwere spotted at the gamerecently, with Clooney’sarm in an elaborate sling.Keibler is a former Ravenscheerleader.
The Roots have some‘splainin to do.
On Monday night’s“Late Night With Jimmy Fal-lon,” the band picked someinflammatory music forfeatured guest (and Repub-lican presidential candi-date) Michele Bachmann toaccompany her walk on-stage. The song theypicked? “Lyin’ Ass Bitch”by Fishbone.
And it wasn’t a slip-up.?uestlove even told fans andfollowers to pay attentionvia Twitter: “aight latenight walkon song devo-tees: you love it when wesnark: this next one takesthe cake. Ask around causeI aint tweeting the title,” hewrote. Then, he even tookit a step further by tweet-ing a link to the album and
making fans guess whichsong they picked.
As Spin points out, theRoots often use songs toexpress their feelings. Twonotable examples are play-ing Milli Vanilli when noto-rious lip-syncer AshleeSimpson came on the show,
and introducing Heidi Mon-tag and Spencer Pratt withBeck’s “Loser.”
Both of those weretongue in cheek — and di-rected to fixtures of popculture. This is a presiden-tial candidate, congress-woman, woman and a
foster parent to more than23 children. No matterwhat you think of Bach-mann’s political views, it’soffensive that a houseband would sneakily sug-gest a woman is a “bitch”on national television.
If Fishbone had onlycome up with a ska songentitled “You Have Differ-ent Political Views ThanMe — Many of Which IFind Utterly Misguided andWrong — But We Live in aCountry Where We Are Al-lowed to Have Different Be-liefs and So We Will JustAgree to Disagree. Also, It isNot Polite to Call a Womana ‘Bitch,’” Fallon and TheRoots would not find them-selves in this pickle. And itwill be a pickle. A huge,massive pickle.

Everyone lies abouttheir age. Take Buffa-lo Tom, who cele-brate their 25th
anniversary with a three-night stand at the BrightonMusic Hall during Thanks-giving weekend.
“It’s probably more like30, if truth be told,” bassistChris Colbourn tells Metro.“I don’t think we could pos-sibly be any older. We’vemade a vow not to makeany more age jokes. Exceptthere is the band Botox ap-pointment after this call.”
Some injectibles before
the show? “That’s the secret ingre-
dient,” he kids. Formed in Boston’s trans-
formative ’80s alternativerock scene, Colbourn, gui-tarist Bill Janovitz anddrummer Tom Maginnis be-came popular worldwide inthe early 1990s for their vis-ceral brand of melodic butraw, dynamic indie rock.
It seems Buffalo Tom wasalways meant to be, though.Colbourn and Janovitz livedin the same town of Hunt-ington, Long Island, andboth coincidentally moved
to Medfield, Mass. At UMassAmherst, they met Magin-nis: “All these things go fur-ther back than what wasthe anniversary of when westarted to record.”
According to Colbourn,though, it was SST label-mate, Dinosaur Jr.’s J Mas-cis, who made it official,when he produced theirself-titled debut in 1989.
“I met J the first day Idrove to Amherst. He wasworking at a gas station andstill in high school. J wasthis great character with avery unique way of giving a
musician the idea they werein charge. He gave us theblueprint for what we do.”

Zen in the city
FALL: THE
SEASON OF
CHANGE
GABRIELLEBERNSTEIN AUTHOR OF “SPIRIT JUNKIE”
Your stress level is likely climbing as the holidays draw nearer, but the autumn weathercan do wonders for your spirit. Allow ournewest expert, Gabby Bernstein, to explain.
Fall is my favorite season — I love thefoliage, the chilly air and theawesome fall fashion. I also love thisseason because it’s a time for self-re-flection, offering us an opportunity
for personal growth. I could get caught up in the craziness of
city life, but instead I choose to get my Zenon. I let the seasonal change guide myprocess: while the air is brisk and thestreets are still dry, I go for long walks. Inthe midst of the city’s chaos, I can find mycalm. Here’s what I do:
I throw on my favorite booties and coatand hit the streets. I press play on mypositive-perception playlist and walk to thenearest park. The music, fresh air and beauti-ful fall colors offer a backdrop for a powerfulshift in perception. The moment I step ontothe street I feel my energy shift and noticemy thoughts change.
Upon entering the park, I perch on arock or a bench for meditative still-ness. I breathe in my nose and outmy mouth. Centering myself intothe moment, I allow peace to come
over me. If you’re inspired to do the same, let fall be
your guide. Bundle up, press play on youriPod and get your Zen on!

Are you ready forsome payroll taxes?
Unlike the NBA, MLB can actually agree on a new CBA League madeannouncement of deal’s details on Tuesday Sox, Yanks will be affected
MLB Commissioner Bug Selig shakes hands with Red Sox pitcher Andrew Miller at Tuesday’s announcement.
Major League Baseball andthe Player’s Association an-nounced the details of anew collective bargainingagreement Tuesday thatwill keep labor peacethrough 2016.
That’s the good news.The bad news — big mar-
ket clubs like the Red Sox,Yankees and Phillies will allhave some new issues tocontend with.
In MLB’s continuingquest for parity the newCBA includes multiplechanges to the luxury tax,free agent signing rules anda new tax on signing play-
ers from the MLB draft.While it’s unlikely sides
would ever agree on a
salary cap, they did makechanges to the luxury taxalready in place. Not only
will teams owe the amountover the tax threshold,they will now be taxed onthat percentage.
According to reports, thenew luxury cap will be $178million in 2012. Go overthat with your payroll andyou’ll pay a 42 percent tax.In 2013, that increases to 50percent.
The only three teams re-motely close to $178 mil-lion in 2011 — the Red Sox($164 million, Phillies ($165million) and Yankees ($207million).
Also working against thebig market clubs will be
new rules on signing draftpicks. MLB has had a recom-mended contract for eachslot in the draft. However,they had no rules in place toenforce it. Small marketteams were priced out ofsigning some top talent,while big market clubs likethe Yankees would payabove slot — sometimesway above — at the back ofthe round. There’s still nohard slotting, but teams willnow pay a tax on how farover they pay draftees.
What you
need to know
Unfortunately for Red Soxfans, big market clubs willbe affected the most in thenew CBA.
The Red Sox spent $10.9million in bonuses in the2011 draft. That issignificantly above slot andwould now be taxed. Josh Beckett and J.D. Drewboth received major leaguecontracts (from otherteams) when drafted. Thiswill no longer be allowed.

HGH testto be putin placeMaybe the most men-tioned addition to thenew CBA will be theimplementation of hu-man-growth hormonetesting.
Every player will betested during springtraining, while selectplayers could be testedduring the season“with due cause.”
A positive test willresult in the samepenalties as other per-formance-enhancingdrugs — 50 games onthe first positive test,then 100 games and aban on the next two.

The Brewers’ Ryan Braunnarrowly won the NationalLeague MVP over Los Ange-les Dodger Matt KempTuesday.
Kemp, who had moreruns, runs batted in, steals,home runs and a higheron-base percentage thanBraun, trailed him in theonly count that mattered
— 388 points to 332 points.Braun had 20 first-placevotes, while Kemp had 10.
Braun did lead theleague in slugging percent-age and OPS.
Braun played on the NLCentral winners though,while the Dodgers finished11.5 games back in the NLWest.
The MVP was Braun’sfirst, though he did finishthird in 2008 — his secondyear in the majors.

It’s the unstoppable Gronk in his natural habitat.
NICK LAHAM/GETTY IMAGES
When you sit down for yourThanksgiving dinner thisyear, and think back oneverything you’re thankfulfor, don’t forget one veryimportant person:
Rob Gronkowski.Make no mistake about
it, there hasn’t been a singlemore important part of thisPatriots team than that ofthe second-year tight end.
So just how vital to theteam’s success as “Gronk”been? There’s not enoughspace to explain but here’s ashort list that should sum itup nicely:
With his two touchdowns
last night, Gronkowskireached 20 touchdowns inthe fewest games amongtight ends in NFL history. Ittook Gronk just 26 games,
passing the previous recordholder, Mike Ditka, at 31games.
His 20 touchdowns since2010 are tops among NFLtight ends, with Jason Wit-ten in second (14). In fact,Gronk is only behind De-troit’s Calvin Johnson (23)in receiving touchdownssince 2010.

No matter how you feelabout the 1 Percent, youcan claim your own littlepiece of another WallStreet. This one is in a fairlyquiet part of Arlington,Mass., just five miles fromHarvard Square and an 8-mile drive down Mass. Ave.into the Back Bay. It’s also T-accessible via Alewife Sta-tion and the Red Line.
This single-family, Cape-style home has been bright-ly redecorated and renovat-ed with new energy effi-cient windows, vinyl sidingand insulation. There’s anupdated kitchen and refin-ished floors, too. The layoutincludes a lovely sunroomand lower level den.Though it still has an oil-fueled heating system, thehome also has both a woodburning and a pellet stove,handy for power outagesand added fuel economy.The current owners love itsenergy efficiency and lowcosts through winter, saysrealtor Steve McKenna.“Last year, during one of theworst winters the area hasexperienced, it cost lessthan $700 to heat,” he adds.
“Arlington has the bestof both worlds,” saysMcKenna. “[There’s] easyaccess to public transporta-tion — and if you don’t feellike heading into Boston,choose from one of Arling-ton’s many restaurants andcatch a show at the Regentor Capital Theater.”
The shopping facilitiesat Alewife/Fresh Pond in-clude a large Whole Foodsand Trader Joes. Nearbyare Arlington’s SkylinePark and MenotomyRocks Park.
“This is a great starterhome,” says McKenna, “anda unique chance to putroots down in one of themost sought-after schooldistricts in Arlington.” Thehome is located in theBrackett School district.

US existinghome sales riseslightly, butprices fallSales of existing homesrose in October, butremained stuck at a lowlevel, according to a reportreleased earlier this weekby the National Associationof Realtors, which notedthat contract failuresplayed a large role in thestagnant market.
Existing sales increased1.4 percent from Septem-ber and 13.5 percent fromOctober 2010 to a seasonal-ly adjusted annual rate of4.97 million units.
“Home sales have beenstuck in a narrow range de-spite several improving fac-tors,” said Lawrence Yun,NAR’s chief economist. “Ahigher rate of contract fail-ures has held back a sales
recovery.”One third of all NAR
members reportedcontract failures, up from18 percent in Septemberand 8 percent last October.
One of the positive fac-tors is a continued declinein the inventory, which fell2.2 percent to 3.33 millionexisting homes, which, atthe current sales pace, rep-resents an eight-monthsupply. Despite the shrink-ing inventory, median ex-
isting home prices also fell4.7 percent from last Octo-ber to $162,500, even asforeclosures comprised asmaller percentage of salesthan last year.
The Northeastexperienced a 5.1 percentdrop in existing homesales, and was the only re-gion where volume fell ona month-over-month basis.It also had the smallest im-provement over October2010 at just 1.4 percent,
compared to 15 percentyear-over-year increaseselsewhere in the country.The median price fell 5.5percent year-over-year inthe Northeast, comparedto 4.7 percent in theMidwest and 1.6 percent inthe South and West.

REAL ESTATEON THE GO!
Last week in “For SaleBy Owner” we ex-plored marketing yourFSBO home. But
that’s only half of what’sneeded. Legal is the secondhalf of the FSBO process.
LEGAL. Think documents,information and lawyers.
The purchase processin Massachusetts starts witha written Offer.
An Offer, once accept-ed, is a legal contract with real consequences. Youneed a lawyer to plan yourprocess and provide formsand advice. Don’t go it aloneand don’t rely on a FSBOwebsite for guidance!
One of least under-stood jobs of a realtor is tocontrol the information givento a buyer. Say the wrongthing and you may get suedlater.
Carefully plan with yourreal estate attorney not onlythe legal documents neededbut the information to be dis-closed and how it should bedisclosed.
As a seller, you’ll needcertain things for the closing.Here’s a partial list: • smoke detector/carbonmonoxide certificate, • Title 5certificate for septic system,• water reading, • oil read-ing (fuel), • 6(d) certificate(condos).
While selling it yourselfmay save you money, becareful that it’s not a falsesavings in the end. That’swhere a good broker canmake a difference.
