What happened to the slow down? Still 7% yoy. It looks like we are still at least 2 years away from the top of the market. If you are looking to buy, the best case scenario is 3% yoy in 2019 and 0% yoy in 2020 before negative yoy in 2021. The worst case scenario is Amazon HQ2 comes to Boston and no declines for another decade. |

According to CNBC analysis, Texas is the likely location for Amazon.
Let's hope they're right. |

Yes I hope they are right, we don't need Amazon here. |

don't forget scenario 2: Amazon's new healthcare venture which just started a few months ago in Boston.... becomes successful and triggers a 'healthcare tech' wave in Boston rivalling the 'social media' wave which is now petering out |

Somewhere there is a 100 year old man holding out to buy a single family home in metro Boston for $20,000.. because that was the price he passed up on originally.
Its a joke but the cause is serious: Inflation
Inflation does terrible things, especially since it creeps up on you slowly. How much of the price increase is due to inflation vs bubble?
In the same way gas is never going back to $1 a gallon, and especially with the minimum wage hike.. one could argue its causes a PERMANANT 5% increase in home values
its very hard to determine value vs inflation. The one thing we should not wish for is deflation |

In the Boston area, it's more NIMBYism that's driving up prices. A postage stamp sized buildable lot in the Boston area is at least 300k. Add 300k to build a 2k sqft house. Add 200k profit for the developer and you are looking at least 800k for a new house. |

Crazy that second house you posted has almost doubled in price in 5 1/2 years - also I don’t think I could drop a million on a house with that ugly dated kitchen.
I just wonder when enough will be enough, I’m on the higher end of the millennial group, went to college, busted my ass, have a good job in tech and can’t even find a new place to rent because the prices are so high, nevermind buy. I guess moving out of state is an option, but it sucks when you can’t afford to rent bc yet have been told to do everything right after high school. I have a ton in savings now and still can’t afford the mortgage prices on the lower end. |

Pretty mediocre, small house, for close to a million dollars. Not sure if the Newton school system is really worth that much. It wouldn't be to me! |

Newton is an expensive town. There are plenty of towns where a 2000 sf
3 br 2 ba house costs much less. |

I’m continuing to get price drop after price drop emails from Redfin, all types of budgets too not just higher end 1 mill+ listings. I do see some still selling for over asking though. |

Prices always drop in the fall/winter and will go up again in the spring/summer. In 6 months, people will be complaining about higher prices again. |

Why is Somerville so expensive? It's so ordinary in every way. Average school
system. But it's practically as expensive as Brookline. |

Cambridge is more expensive than Brookline ($/sqft). People who can't afford Cambridge settle for Somerville. The better question is why is Dorchester so expensive? There are shootings or stabbings every other day in Dorchester. |
