I expect prices to stall out a bit. As much as I said continued boom, there will be a ceiling on prices. We're starting to get into territory within 128 where it simply can't go any higher.

Neponset/Dorchester was 300k for a triple decker give years ago. Now it's 850k for a triple decker (not reno)

You have to let me know what areas you work in.... If you know any developers from you on north to 128 I'll be looking for a starter home in the next year or so.

When are they gonna give you a break? Wrap up surgery I assume? Your back is one hell of a mess my friend

There's always another storm. A good time to miss a snowstorm = Vegas honeymoon. Could be worse. Imagine being stuck post operation inside. Oof

I wonder if buyers start to consider wfh effects on dependents. Suburbia will be the ultimate winner As metro grows and people realize more will be living at home. Kids leaving the nests later. It's inevitable. Have to live within transit system

I see what you're saying. Sometimes I misread because I'm watching Netflix at the same time. I totally agree with you. I'm just so worried about this next generation of lower income bostonians. A lot have cashed in on their family 3 decker. For many, leaving the state is the best option. Kinda sad for some of the young kids who may want to live here, but have more of a blue collar background.

I don't know if I agree. Homeless counts have exploded by my estimation. I don't see anything ending that immediately. Low income units are required over 6 units. Id estimate half of Boston's rehab and flips are below 6 units for the exact reason. I worked on a project deep in dorchester where the developer owned back to back parcels of land. Both large. Instead of building 12-16 units, he built two 6 unit buildings. One year apart. By law no low income units were required. The ironic thing is the two 6 unit buildings are more likely to be approved because they are built to look like triple Deckers and better fit the footprint of the neighborhood.

Central mass is on quite a long term upswing I think

I should specify I'm speaking strictly within 128. I don't see any of the major factors of this boom changing. A pandemic has even had zero effect, you could certainly say positive due to low interest rates. Those will stay long and fuel this nationally. Will cool off on that level, but the Boston market will shrug that off. Only negative effects I can see? A bit of a backlog in permitting and zoning board related activities that slows things down, which may be good to extend the market. I don't see the large scale urban flight we had at some points after other Civil unrest. We are a tech/bio/financial hub. All booming, and no foreseeable issues.

DIT could be white house press secretary. Spin professional

I meant tomorrow lol

So, this is windex? Bleh

I worked in real estate for years before this. I don't see this market cooling off for years. Maybe even 5+ years I'd be willing to say. Area is set up for sellers in the long term despite local construction boom. More businesses coming to Boston than leaving. Continuous surge of people coming to Boston for school. Excellent place to live even if you work from home. I could see condos struggling in large complexes in less than five years. If your home is single double or triple decker, there will be a buyer. Period.

Snowing in west Roxbury

The greatest time of our lives. It will never happen again

I need more us weather airforce and mjo posts, that is what I come on here to read. Jimmy and ant's unique analysis

No fries, chips

Heat Flux propagating into my fanny

I work exclusively outside now. It's been great weather in that respect. But I do look forward to working in snowy conditions. I like a challenge.

I'm poking fun at myself and my nine billion hours spent on twitter

Mother nature doesn't care

Thats possible?

Some would benefit from Xanax
