Couple moves in together, couple breaks up, couple stays in condo

It’s the stuff of Hollywood comedies.
(Um, yeah, it actually is – it’s called The Break-Up, opening Friday, at a theater near you.)
Couple falls in love (or like), decide to move in together, relationship doesn’t work out, so they break up, then, for various reasons … end up continuing to live together.

The Economist and sour grapes

The Economist has been sour on the US real estate market for going on four years, now.

However, last month, for the first time in recent memory, the median sales price of condos in Boston actually dropped.
Unfortunately (if you’re a buyer, that is), while prices look as if [...]



Boston planning to move some out of Bunker Hill project

What a novel and unique idea.

According to the Herald’s O’Ryan Johnson (now, that’s a name) the Boston Housing Authority is floating plans to close a portion of the Charlestown housing project, the BHA’s largest housing community for low- and moderate-income individuals and families.
The plan would call for closing up to a third of the project, [...]



Putting your FSBO listing into MLS

People who are trying to sell their home or condo should use a real estate agent. Probably, someone with experience, and someone who works at a larger company (to take advantage of the company’s sales and marketing budget).
