My God that’s one of the worst buys I’ve seen in a while. Can’t even really do much expansion. Oil heat to boot. People are so desperate! |

Yes. Why would someone pay almost 700/sqfr for Arlington? It's Arlington, not Cambridge. |

I'm REALLY bullish on Arlington. I see property values increasing to rival Belmont, owing to Arlington's incredible location, plentiful amenities, good and improving schools, walkability, and public transport. It's going to suck in all the Millennials with money. But WOW, $700K for a crappy 1,000 SF 2-bed 1-bath! This guy was either laundering money or is going to have a serious case of buyer's remorse. This was a really bad buy IMO. |

These buyers must be making big bets on the growth of Kendall square and tech/bio tech. If amazon HQ2 decides to scatter locations un downtown then maybe...
Boston is the last affordable tech hub with the volume of workers and talent needed |

That first house is a good example of the price action for the last real-estate bust. It sold for 498K in 2004, then 491K in Dec 2011 before running up to the final sales price. Roughly a 4.5-5% annualized nominal return since 2004, which was roughly the peak. Adjusting for inflation, the rate of return was not much at all. It's just that the price increase was uneven... flat for the first seven years, then up a lot thereafter.
Same thing happened in the late 80s. My guess is the next real-estate correction will be similar: something like a 10% nominal decline with prices moving sideways (i.e. greater real decline) for several years. |

Arlington lot sizes are mostly small. That’s the compromise you accept for a mostly walkable, semi-urban town. But I agree that under 4K SF is really small, even for Arlington. |

Brookline is even closer to Boston and IMO better than Newton.
I'm pretty sure it has good schools. I lived there when I was in college.
I walked and rode my bike into town. |

So many parts of Brookline have constant power issues. Also, you're probably stuck with Comcast and maybe RCN if you're lucky. No FiOS in Brookline
Other than these issues, it's an awesome place to live. |
