First-time buyers looking across the river from Boston to Cambridge didn't see much price relief over the past 6 years. Looking back in the January 1, 2007 - March 1, 2007 timeframe we saw that the average sale price of one bedroom condos was $363K. Fast forward to 2013 and add 20% and that is where you find the average one bedroom condo in 2013 - priced at $436K. Given high demand and low interest rates we are definitely going to see a very competitive market in the Spring 2013 time-frame. Make sure you are working with a buyer agent, like Buyer Agents of Boston, that is versed in competitive and multiple bid situations.

A Cambridge MA home buyer in should receive a brochure, Home Inspectors Consumer Fact Sheet, at the time of the signing of the first written contract to purchase from the Seller or Seller's agent.Since MA Home Inspector licensing in 2001, a consumer must have a signed exclusive buyer's agent agreement with a Real Estate Broker or Salesperson before the Real Estate Broker or Salesperson can refer a home inspector.Without a signed exclusive buyer's agent agreement, the Real Estate Broker or Salesperson may only refer the buyer to the list of all MA Home Inspectors from the Massachusetts Board of Registration of Home Inspectors.Finding your Cambridge MA Home Inspector from the list of all MA home inspectors can be quite a challenge. An internet search for "Cambridge MA Home Inspector" may ...

Posted on July 13, 2012 by Larry Lawfer New Yorker Cartoon "We lost!" Too much Self Esteem and not enough Confidence seems to be an epidemic in our younger society these days and it affects younger real estate professionals, both buyer and sellers.  In the recent past there has been a shift in our society. We went from developing confidence in our youth through their honest efforts to praising them for just showing up. The famous New Yorker cartoon captures it perfectly.   A little boy staggers in under the weight of a huge trophy to his father when he shouts with a huge smile on his face, “We lost!”  When parents of a generation spend their days praising a child for everything and anything we take their confidence away. Confidence is born from your own efforts.  Getting to be good at s...

Yesterday was a beautiful day in Cambridge. The streets were warm with people walking leisurely through the morning air on the brick walkways that criss-cross throughout the neighborhoods.  Harvard Street is equidistant between Harvard Square and Central Square. The streets are tree lined and yesterday the stately Colonials were  festooned with American Flags. This is a very sweet neighborhood and we were in town to do an inspection. An inspection of a home before you go to the P&S is a wonderful time to see and understand the inner workings of the house you are planning to buy.  An inspector will be systematic, and I mean that literally. They will check all of the systems in the house, the electric, the plumbing, the heating, the hot water, the A/C-if there is one, the windows, the doo...
