$1,300,000, 3 Beds, 1.5 Baths, 2,448 SF. |
It’s refreshing to see a selling price below the asking price. Is this a start of a trend? |

Lol, it sold at 95% of an audacious asking price. It's a pretty bad buy, IMO. $1.3M and it doesn't even have a 2nd full bath! And the kitchen is shit. And it's separated from a 4-lane highway by two lots and a service road.
I get the appeal of Arlington, but this one's ridiculous. I could see this selling for $900K because it's waterfront and a big lot (for Arlington), plus walkable to Alewife. Hell, maybe even $1M. But $1.3M is nuts.
I remember when $1M bought you a *nice* huge house. Those days are gone. |

I don't get the big appeal of Arlington. It's ok, but there's nothing special about it. I haven't figured out why people want to pay such high prices to live there. |

Great commuter location, especially to Cambridge, but even to Boston & 128 corridor. Good schools. Walkable, bike path through town, & public transportation. Retains elements of the urban Cambridge/Somerville culture and is a natural destination for well-to-do young techies with kids. |

For $1.3M, I'd rather be in Cambrigde, Somerville, or Brookline. Arlington is
very ordinary in my opinion. |

Arlington prop taxes are not peanuts either. |

Photos of the attic and basement both look decent. I don't see why they should be excluded from the SF. I have a finished basement and a finished attic, both with baths and high ceilings, that space gets used a lot.
Would I buy this house for $1.8M? No way, the location doesn't work for me. I want to be walkable to conveniences. But other buyers will want waterfront and a short commute to Boston. This fits the bill. The house will sell at $1.5M or above, in my estimation. The flipper walks away with a six-figure profit for his troubles. |
Sold for a cool $1.9M. |

Isn't it amazing how dumb people are? Every 10 years it's the same shit. Idiots eventually drive costs 30% too high, then it corrects. The fun part will be when there is no bail out this time. Bend over dumb fucks. Hee Hee |

Show me data from the last bubble consistent with a 30% correction in any desirable town in metro Boston. No assertions, please. Just data. |

Desirable towns did not correct at 30% during the last correction.
The data for it does not exist. |

There is ample data to choose from to show the declines. This guy seems to be arrogant and doesn't have a clue. Real-estate corrected 30%(yes in your so called good areas) in 2009 and in 1987 as well. After 1987 we saw a prolonged down turn which is what should have happened in 2008 but for the Fed giving us this fake economy. Next turn down, this Fed, Trump's Fed, will not print free money and fuck it's citizens like the last group of academic, Jew, Bank ball sucking scum
Administrator's note (since my response is on the next page): antisemitism is not allowed and anti-Semites are not welcome. |
