Celebrate Strength and Hope in Boston on April 19th Introduction The Marathon Daffodil Dash is just around the corner!

Not to be outdone, Beacon Hill is not too far behind it's neighbor when it comes to price appreciation over the past 6 years. For one bedroom condos, the average selling price in the period of Jan 1, 2007 - March 1, 2007 was $419K with a price per square foot of $672. In the same period in 2013, the average selling price jumped 38% to $581K with a $731 price per square foot. Looking at two bedrooms, the average sale price jumped from $721K in the Jan 1 - March 1, 2007 period to $939K in 2013, an increase of 30% with an average price per square foot of $753 in 2013 (all data provided by MLSPIN).

I just ran some numbers for a Back Bay client and 2 bedroom prices are up over 45% since 2007. In the period of Jan 1, 2007 through March 1, 2007, the average 2 bedroom condo in the Back Bay was selling for $966K with an average price per square foot of $677.00 (all info obtained from MLSPIN) Fast forward to the same period in 2013 and the average selling price was up to $1,406K for a 2 bedroom condo and a price per square foot of $990.00. Not a bad return on investment plus you had a place to live. Thinking about buying in the Back Bay, South End or any community within the 128 belt? Just give me a call or send me an e-mail and we can start on your home search right away.

  This week I had the opportunity to spend some time with Peter Souhleris and Dave Seymour of A&E’s Hit TV Show, Flipping Boston, when they hosted our Habitat for Humanity charity auction in Lowell, Massachusetts.  These two young entrepreneurs have made a name for themselves in the Boston area as experts in buying and flipping real estate.  In addition to running a successful house flipping business and appearing regularly on their TV show, they also own a well known real estate firm, and they have a soon to be released book, The Flipping Formula, on investing in and rehabbing real estate.  Whenever I have the opportunity to meet successful business people I use my time wisely to pick their brains about their accomplishments.  So, how is it these guys are killing it in business while ...

Interested in Buying or Selling a condo in the South End of Boston? No need to try to time the market, its happening! For small to mid sized condos (700-850 sq.ft) 14 units are currently active yet 8 already have contracts written and pending one or more contingencies. Inventory is NOT keeping up with demand resulting multiple offers. With as much as half the units being put under agreement in a just a few days buyers need to be aware that its not always the almighty $ that wins out in a multiple bid situation. Terms, conditions and a willingess to close on the Seller's schedule may win out.  Good luck this spring. South End Boston Homes & Condos For Sale

The City of Boston Takes a Serious Look at Energy Scoring     Engergy Scoring, or the use of "uniform" rating tools designed to help property owners, landlords and prospective consumers of real estate to evaluate the energy efficiency of one property over the other, sounds appealing.  But is it a good idea?  Over the last few years, government regulators and utility operators have stepped up efforts to advance the idea of energy scoring in local communities across the country.Recent press coverage and attention to this issue by politicians has begun to emerge as environmental regulators in Boston are pushing the City to become the first municipality in Massachusetts to require both commercial and residential building owners (including condominiums) to “score” their building, or face enf...

Blizzard Nemo in West Roxbury MA Today, Sunday 2/10/2013, we are at home again.  The plows have come through, but much work still remains in order for us to be able to go out safely.  A large mountain of snow sits in front of our driveway. We look forward to a sunny, mild day, much more pleasant than yesterday's bitter wind.  Snow angels, snow men, and a lot more snow blowing and shoveling is our agenda. We remain grateful for our warm comfortable home, and a couple days of well needed vacation.

Do you own a modern loft in the Boston area? Then you will enjoy this video of a loft in Toronto being staged. This loft is very similar to the lofts at Northpoint in Cambridge MA and some of the South Boston Lofts at the Macallen Building. Enjoy!

No one should be surprised at the hot Brighton MA Real Estate market. Current market conditions in the Brighton MA condo market were easy to predict, as they are part of a decade long cycle we see in real estate. Now one of the hottest condo markets in the Boston area, Brighton's better condos are on the market 2-7 days, and enjoy rising prices.   The writing was on the wall.  Look at the falling average days on market, plunging nearly 40% in 2012 from the previous year.  Prices went up and the average sale price / list price ration went up.   What does that mean: condo sellers in Brighton MA are asking for more money, and getting more of it.  This is great news for home sellers, but poses some difficulties to the buyers out there, often feeling the frustration of multiple offer situati...

If you are relocating to Boston and looking for a really cool location to live then I highly recommend taking a look at Boston's North End Neighborhood. The North End is also known as Boston's Little Italy and is home to some of Boston's best restaurants. For those looking to buy or rent North End condos are the going to be one of your best options as most of the buildings have been converted to condominiums over the years. Here is a quick video overview of the area. Hope you enjoy!

Hudson Book Sellers: Logan Airport in Boston, MA the Holiday BOOK TREE As most of you know book stores are few and far in between now days. Every time we travel we try to support all the Booksellers around the country. Needless to say we love the Hudson Book Store at LAX (Los Angeles International Airport). Diane had to fly back to Boston, MA and on her way out of the Terminal she saw the Hudson Book Store and it was not a small little satellite store, rather it was a full size Book Store. She snapped this picture and wanted to share with meJ and of course in turn I had to share with you. At the same time I would like to wish you all the warmest of Holiday Season and hope your life will be full of joy and laughter now and in the future! If you are a consumer who is considering buying or...
