    I am not big fan of Boston area. It is harmful time to invest.

    An obvious conflict of interests.

    like you said in a later post, it’s easy making money without morals. To bad we all suffer the consequences down the road.

    John (either F or K),

    Where do yo think prices will be in a year…If prices are down in six months that means falling prices through the spring selling season…Have prices ever fallen in the northeast when comparing Feb to Aug?

    Pain in the, Yes prices have fallen. Just last year the median price in the Boston metro area according to LINK went from $390,000 in Jan to $375,000 in Aug.

    In references to prices I think it depends on the area. I don’t see much price changes in Boston Proper. Prices will hold steady and some parts they may even go up. I base this on low inventory, high pent up demand. On the other hand I think we still have a forclosure problem in Dorchester which will bring down the median price in the Boston area. As I stated in a previous post the wild card is the unemployment numbers and as of today there not good. Hence, I’m not as bullish as say…. Bradley.
