A Brief Jamaica Plain & Roslindale Real Estate Spring Market Update

| May 14, 2013 | 0 Comments

Just ran some quick numbers to see if the market has begun to slow down.  It hasn’t.  Multiple offer scenarios, over asking price is the new norm, and Jamaica Plain becomes a premier market over night.   I’ll be anxious to review these same stats come end of June. If you like data as much as [...]

The Cat is Out of the Bag: Escalation Clauses are Everywhere

| May 14, 2013 | 0 Comments

Consider this an open letter to listing agents and agencies who have the policy of “not accepting”, “working with” or “presenting” offers that include escalation clauses–there are surprisingly more than a few. When I first began to realize that my predictions for this spring’s real estate market were coming to fruition, I wanted to find [...]

Results are coming in: Over asking price is the new norm

| April 26, 2013 | 0 Comments

It’s only the end of April, and not even the end of April, but the latest sales results that are coming in are showing a profound difference from last year at this time.  On a personal note, I have never seen such a level of heightened activity in the marketplace.  So far most of what [...]

How to Win a Blind Bidding War

| April 1, 2013 | 0 Comments

Chances are this year, if you’re in the market for a new or first home, you’ve witnessed the madness.   There’s a good chance you’ve made an offer already and, if you’re still looking, you lost out on your bid.   Technically, calling it a bidding war is a misnomer.  If you can’t see what your fellow [...]

Weekly Market Report – Jamaica Plain, West Roxbury & Roslindale Real Estate – Dec 3-10

| December 10, 2012 | 0 Comments

Okay, the sales numbers are pouring in now.  Expect many closings recorded over the coming two weeks across the board.  Almost nothing new will hit the market until after Jan 1–at least that’s my guess. Slow week for single families in these markets, but a couple of big sales.  Most notably, 5 Brewer in JP [...]

Local Real Estate Market Breakdown Nov 27-Dec 3: Where’s Winter?

| December 4, 2012 | 0 Comments

Forget what I said about things slowing down for the winter market.  Jamaica Plain blazes into December with ONLY 11 new listings and a combined 38 properties either selling or accepting offers.  At this rate there will be NOTHING available for the new year.  Sellers’ market?  Methinks yes.   Specifically this week in the JP condo [...]
