Lowell Deeds

Sorry I missed posting a blog entry yesterday but I was attending a class at Lowell Telecommunications Corporation on “Community Mapping.” We’re learning how to use Google Maps software to customize maps for an almost infinite variety of purposes. For example, I’m working on a monthly sales map that will place an icon at the exact loaction of every house that’s been sold in this registry district during that month. By clicking on the icon, you will display a data box containing the address of the property, the date of sale, the book and page where the deed was recorded and the sales price. For Lowell properties, we’re also looking up the assessed value so it can be instantly compared to the sales price. For these preliminary efforts - you might start seeing some examples next week - we’re suing a free service called Map Builder which you should check out.
