Is Tom Brady staying in Florida?
As we Patriots’ fans find ourselves watching the play-offs this year from a position of curiosity rather than passion, we can I hope root for “Patriots South”, aka the Tampa Bay Bucs, home of Tom Brady and Gronk.
Following on from his “you won’t catch me dead living in the Northeast anymore” comment, Brady and Giselle have made moves in real estate which seem to support this statement.
According to this New York Post article Tom and Giselle list NYC mansion, they have sold their Tribeca apartment (which I believe is not a walk-up) for close to $40 million, although they are retaining a smaller unit in the same building.
The greatest invention for house-hunting Patriots fans
When I was house-hunting 20 years or so ago, I was faced with a dilemma: go to Open Houses or watch the Patriots. At that time, Drew Bledsoe – great servant of the Pats that he was – had started that habit of throwing interceptions off the back foot when under pressure, particularly in the second half. When that happened, my decision was easy – get way from the TV and go to Open Houses. It was partly a belief that if I was not watching the Patriots would come back and win.
And thanks to Bledsoe, I went to an Open House of the house we eventually bought.
But today’s Pats fans don’t have to make the choice between watching the game and buying a house. The greatest invention for Pats fans – indeed for all sports fans – is the DVR. Simply tape the game and watch it later. And for those of us not brought up on the belief that 60 minutes of football should take 3 hours to play, fast forward is a blessing.
So GO PATS – and go to Open Houses!

Patriots’ record Super Bowl victory margin
As a numbers person I have been intrigued by the margin of victory – or defeat – the New England Patriots have registered in their Super Bowls .
Before the Belichick/Brady era the Patriots lost in 2 Super Bowls: against the Bears in XX (10-46) and Packers in XXI (21-35). But the 7 B/B Super Bowls have all been close: (more…)
Jimmy Garoppolo 3 Open House 1
Last Sunday saw the Patriots’ home opener and the question on the minds of real estate agents was what impact the 1 pm kick off game would have on attendance at Open Houses. My experience was that I saw all three of Garoppolo’s TDs and had one group come to see the house. Another agent reported zero attendance for the first time in her career.
Is Tom Brady about to be traded to the Jets?
Reports on Boston.com that Tom and Gisele buy NY condo have fueled speculation that his absence from the Patriots might extend beyond the first 4 games of the season.
Will Tom Brady follow Babe Ruth to New York?
I think not.

Open Houses or Patriots vs Jets? No contest.
In my Open Houses and the Patriots post I quoted a survey which said that 64% of real estate agents did not schedule Open Houses when the Patriots were playing. I suspect that number may fluctuate somewhat with the stage of the season and the identity of the opponent. Well today, the Pats are playing the Jets, and a win for the Pats would secure the number 1 seed while also knocking out the Jets from the play-offs.
