I think the tax credit is a joke and in 6 months no one will even remember it. Especially in these Boston neighborhoods like Back Bay where the average price per sq ft is $725 without parking. How muc more »

Nice post but I disagree with the title. Its not risky at all to make predictions. What happens when you are wrong? Very few remember that it was you who said that 6 months ago or a year ago. And even more »

Comment on: A%20true%20economic%20rebound%20or%20just%20media%20hype%3F

I think the weakness of that piece is "according to Zillow". What makes Zillow an expert? All they have is this algorithm that works for maybe half of the real estate in America. How does that set the more »
