I participated in a “REAL Estate Talk – Boston” segment on Money Matters Radio that aired last Sunday on WBNW 1120AM.  Hosted by Chris Devin of Guaranteed Rate and also featured Craig Gilmartin of Gilmartin Magence & Ross LLP, we discussed why the gold standard in housing data, the S&P Case/Shiller® Index, doesn’t accurately portray the Downtown Boston market in the 10 and 20-city index due to methodology and exclusions.  We also noted that this market held values, for the most part, through the headwinds of the Great Recession and Financial Crisis—quite contrarian to the “Greater Boston” and other U.S. markets and the reasons why our market performed better.   I encourage you to click on the link below and listen to our conversation on why Downtown Boston is different and why now is the most attractive time to buy that I’ve seen in the last 30 years.
