David, overall, the Boston public school system is not well-respected. For elementary schools, however, there are a couple of good ones. The Hurley School, in the South End, for example, is very popular. Parents are very involved in their children’s education.

I would not put one of my own children into the BPS.

So, your choices are converting to Catholicism or paying private school tuitions.

Or, home schooling!

Dave, they have been relisted with Ricardo Rodriguez of Coldwell Banker.

Six units are showing “under agreement” in MLSPIN; don’t know if any of these were auction units or are all post-auction transactions.

Contact me for more info.

Haven’t heard anything about The Modern since the auction was cancelled. What’s the latest?

John, as someone who would consider moving back into the city someday, where will their teenager go to school? pvt school or one of the city’s exam schools?

To a certain extent, that’s true, Family Guy.

There were 65 sales of $800,000+ condos over the past six months, in the South End, average price was $1,200,000. (Average days on market, 120.)

There are currently 58 units over $800,000 available in the South End, including five at The Bryant. ( Average days on market, 126, without the Bryant listings included (they were put on prior to construction, 2 years ago).)

I’d say this is probably a little high, so sellers should adjust, but I don’t think they will.
