I’ve posted before, and have also emailed you. I have a real estate brokerage in Boston. My fiancé and I purchased Unit #14 at The Trolley House for $503,000. There was nothing interesting or shady with the transaction, besides the seller taking a big loss. She definitely over paid when she purchased the unit in July 2005 for $562,000. Obviously I was trying to get the best deal for us, and it is an investment, but there was no manipulation of the numbers. The condo did not show as well as it could have either, being what I see as a contemporary building, yet decorated like a country home. We have done some remodeling to make it more contemporary.

We are extremely happy with the building and our condo. To be honest, for $399/sq. ft, we have an amazing place, the location is great, and we have 2 full deeded garage parking spaces. For the finishes you get at The Trolley House, and with garage parking, it is a great value. Some of the unit layouts are not as nice, but fortunately Unit #14 is quite nice. As you probably know, Unit #16 just came on the market, and is priced pretty well. The 2 tandem parking spaces they have kind of suck, but it’s better than not having parking at all.

As I’ve told you before, great blog. Hopefully we’ll do business together in the future.

Regards,

Michael
