Do not go out and buy on your own. Let me say that again….Do Not Buy Alone!
I know sometime real estate agents are a pain in the butt to deal with…but don’t make the bad decision and buy alone. Of course it is fine to search properties via the web or even visit open houses, etc….but when the time gets close, make sure you DO NOT get stuck buying alone.
Many people think that buying a condo is pretty simple and straight-forward, and many times it is…but I would say more …

The message that “Look & See” offers a whole lot more options than “Wait & See.” As we all know when it comes to the law of Supply & Demand, it is far better to be ahead of the curve than lagging behind. You want to be a day early or a day late Watch The Video

The developers of 343-347 Summer Street, had seen their project delayed by lawsuits from the neighborhood for six years but were coming off a legal victory and had only one obstacle in their way before cashing in with new West Somerville condo’s: a single tree that had to come down for construction of a fire lane.

… In yesterday’s downpour, a dozen bargain hunters boarded a shuttle to inspect deals to be had as financial companies are repossessing a record number of homes from owners who can no longer afford their mortgages.

But all saw what they came for: opportunities to snare a house in a quiet suburban neighborhood for about …
