Over the past year commercial real estate has been following the steady declines seen in residential real estate. This can be seen by looking no further than the fact that prices are down nearly 40% from 2007 and office vacancies have increased by 5% in 2009 alone. However, residential real estate has slowly began turning around, this has caused many investors and analysts to wonder if commercial real estate will stabilize in 2010.Changing Times, Changing World: According to a survey conducted by Grub and Ellis, commercial real estate is expected to decline by another 10% to 20%. At which point, the markets will go into the stage of flat lining, this is where prices will not decrease or increase rapidly. This is contrary to what some have been prognosticating for commercial real estate,... 01/15/2010

    I get so tired of turning on the news and hearing about all the shenanigans going on lately...useless trips to Asia, the impending doom that is the health "care" bill, Massachusetts sales tax increasing,  our legislature adjouring for the rest of the year even though we have a $125 million deficit... (come on people, seriously?)   When I moved to Boston I decided the quickest way to meet people would be to get involved in some type of political group. Once I started listening to the news I knew I absolutely had to. My friends back home told me I was crazy to move to such a liberal state with my very conservative views... (after seeing the taxes taken out of my paycheck they might not be far off). I decided to help out with the July 4th Tea Party and met Brad Marston, the organizer o... 11/23/2009

Condos for sale walkable to Longwood MBTA Station - Boston, MA Real Estate For Sale Below are my picks for the top condos for sale that are walking distance to the Longwood MBTA station on the Green Line.  The Longwood area is a a highly desirable area to live, primarily for how convenient it is for employees and resident students of the various hospitals and research facilities including Beth Israel, New England Deaconess, Brigham and Women's, Harvard Medical School and Mass College of Pharmacy.  Living in this area has you in the heart of the city of Boston but if you need to venture outside and leave your car at home the proximity to the MBTA's Green Line and both the Longwood and Brigham Circle T stops will have you where you need to be with ease.  Take advantage of the recent exten... 11/02/2009

Yesterday we had early snow - preceded by pouring rain.  But what a difference a day makes! It was a  beautiful blue sky autumn day.   Good thing too - I had a tour scheduled for the Back Bay in Boston this afternoon. It's a park-and-walk kind of place so bad weather would have nixed our tour.  Instead, it was a glorious day - no need for a jacket - and the perfect weather to soak in this beautiful neighborhood.    "One of the brightest gems in the New England weather is the dazzling uncertainty of it. There is only one thing certain about it, you are certain there is going to be plenty of weather."   -- Mark Twain 10/19/2009

Rates were under pressure from better than expected economic news and rising stocks. Retail sales, weekly jobless claims, and industrial production data were all better than expected. The improved economic outlook had investors flocking to buy stocks, which helped the Dow Jones index to close over 10,000. For the week, interest rates rose nearly 7/8 of a discount point. The producer price index data to be released Tuesday will be the most important data this week. Any signs o... 10/16/2009

Lately, I am having to remind buyer that real estate agents and brokers are not licensed mortgage brokers. I find that many buyers expect us to know everything there is to know about the mortgage industry, despite the fact that rules may change at any time. I think that a real estate agent should have general knowledge of mortgaging and lending, including interest rates and new trends. Buyers should understand that the real estate agent's job is to help them find, negotiate, and secure a house. This includes working with contingency deadlines, 6D certificates, fire certificates, and on time delivery and execution of all documents. Buyers cannot rely on brokers for accurate mortgage information. That is the job of a mortgage specialist. 10/01/2009
