I'd refrain from calling anyone else stupid if you are rooting for housing here to crash. Do you think that would happen in isolate, without damage to the economy and the muppets losing their jobs? Or job's, if you prefer?

It's only March and Arlington is still smoking hot. Except for 2 ridiculously over priced listings, all the other overpriced listings never make it past 30 days before going under agreement. I think we will see double digit YOY price increases in Arlington this year.

Sorry folks, if you want a roof over your head in the Boston area and you chose to not take the plunge in 2012, you now have to pay the piper! Pretty soon you'll need half a million to get in anywhere within 495 that isn't a complete dump or has ever increasing HOA fees and an HOA that will rule your life (and very likely make it miserable)!

Don't worry though, there's always suicide as a back up plan cuz if you're not already *in* a house, independently wealthy, making well into the 6 figures, with excellent health insurance and/or want to retire someday, you're sh*t out of luck! Well, you could in your 40's live with several other strangers - is that so bad? So, your entire family has been here for generations which is why you don't want to move to a less costly location like Detroit or Cincinatti or East Oshkosh, MA? What, you're disabled, sick, elderly or unemployed and you cannot move in with family or you have none? Sorry, you lose - get moving! Them's the breaks! You can always try the Pine Street Inn and see if they have room!

Heck, stop sniffling and pick yourself up by your bootstraps! There's a new "luxury apartment" on every street corner with your own fire pit to share with hundreds of other people for only, oh, $2,350 a month rent. So that's 50% of your income? Don't worry, corporate landlords are awesome, super nice people and they would never raise your rent too much!

He took out a $710K mortgage. Jesus. My household income is $300K and I'm uncomfortable with a $400K mortgage. Then again, my high salary isn't guaranteed for the remainder of my working years.

I actually think its 2 mortgages, one for 700 and another for 700 with a loan guatantee from harvard. Dont forget the fat pension after you stop working... i guess they can easily afford in this case

Boston is an expensive city to live in. A 400k mortgage is about the same cost as the a dumpy 3 bedroom apt in the Boston area. Boston is like the 8th most expensive city to rent in the entire world.

Holy shit! I’d have never guessed that. I wonder how many offers above asking there were, if any.

Right?!? And looking closely at the numbers, it’s actually $362K over ask. A third of a million over ask!

Let's see how much this 1.9 million listing will eventually sell for. It's a bigger house.

I don't think it'll sell as high. That other house had spectacular views of Boston & Spy Pond, this one doesn't seem to have them.
