In uncertain times there is no safe investment. However, real estate historically is more stable than stocks. The Boston area remains a beautiful, safe, walkable city, a desirable and rare breed in the US. And we still have very strong colleges attracting really smart people from around the world. Harvard is still top five in almost every category, and MIT is as strong as ever. And real estate is a “real” investment. A lot of the stock market has become a speculative bubble, detached from earnings. But while Boston real estate is certainly not a bargain, it IS supported by high incomes and high rents that are very real.
What is a bargain is my services as a broker since I will talk to you about your decision, assist in your negotiation, and still give you 90% cash back on the buyers fee. Could be 10 or 20K.
