So we just got a new blog function here at BostonCondoLoft- it’s a really cool tool that allows us to insert property listings directly into our posts – so I’m gonna give it a spin!
The cool part about this function is that I can create a group of properties in a specific city, community, or zip code that can be organized by a myriad of factors such as price, days on market, and home size. What’s even cooler is that all of these property listings are automatically updated in real-time, …

“‘Loan modification scams are reaching epidemic proportions across the nation,’ said Thomas J. Curry, a board member of NeighborWorks America, a Washington, D.C., nonprofit spearheading the nationwide program.”
Oh, what program, you ask? The program is actually a campaign, backed by local, state, and federal agencies, targeted at homeowners facing foreclosure, which I know I have written plenty about. The campaign has one key message: Homeowners who are struggling to make payments and are facing foreclosure need to be wary of loan modification schemes. Or as the Globe puts it, …

So there’s been a lot of buzz in the market about the American Brewery Lofts. This is because 21 of the 79 original units are being auctioned on Saturday, June 26th at the Colonnade Hotel, for as much as 57% below the original asking price. The lofts are RIGHT on the border of Mission Hill and Jamaica Plain (Velocity Marketing Services, the company handling the ABL’s marketing, which, for the record, I think is inadequate, would have you believe that the address, 251 Heath St., is in the trendier, Boston-Globe-endorsed …

As I was browsing the hundreds of Tweets that had built up in my feed while I was at work yesterday, two adjacent Boston Globe Tweets caught my eye. The first that I read went something like “Survey- What will happen to home sales now that the home buyer tax credit expires?” with a link to a short, one question survey with four responses to choose from (more on those later.) The Tweet directly below that one, also by the Globe, read something like, “New Home Sales Jump 14.8% in …

BostInnovation.com, a new media property aimed at the creation and aggregation of original content focused on Boston’s startup ecosystem, posted a lovely article on our fine city’s new Innovation District (the waterfront area formerly known as the Seaport District) and the latest event surrounding it, “Boston’s Innovation District: An Evening at the Harpoon Brewery,” which brought together young professionals, entrepreneurs, and city officials (including the Mayor himself) for drinks and discussion last Monday.
The article focused on a central issue that faces the city’s plan to develop and draw business towards …

The number of homeowners who lost their properties to foreclosure in April swelled to 1,372, almost 80 percent more than during the same month last year, according to data released yesterday by …

Recently I’ve posted a few articles about the ongoing dispute between Don Chiofaro, developer of International Place, and Mayor Menino regarding height restrictions on a new office complex that Chiofaro wants to build on The Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway. The problem for Mr. Chiofaro is that there are specific height restrictions in and around the Greenway, an effort to preserve the Boston Harbor skyline, and Menino isn’t budging. But International Place wasn’t the only development slated for the Greenway that probably won’t come to fruition.
During its conception, the Greenway was …
