According to a color expert at the Paint Quality Institute, “color psychology” can help you choose paint colors that set the right mood for a room. Here is what the experts say about the mood that each color creates:
|

|
Blue slows the heart rate and lowers body temperature. Ideal for: Bedrooms, but not dining rooms. |
|

|
Orange is another happy color, but is more attention-getting. Ideal for: Accents and living rooms. |
|

|
Green has a calming effect, and is the color of many fruits and vegetables. Ideal for: Bedrooms and dining rooms. |
|

|
Purple is proven to stimulate brain activity. Ideal for: Bedrooms and studies. |
|

|
Red radiates energy and excitement. Ideal for: Dining rooms and adult bedrooms, but not children’s rooms. |
|

|
Black imparts elegance, sophistication and formality. Ideal for: Accents. |
|

|
Yellow, like sunshine, imparts optimism and happiness. Ideal for: Master bathrooms, dinettes and living rooms. |
|

|
White conveys peace, simplicity and spaciousness. Ideal for: Small rooms and as a contrast to accent walls. |
Paint is just one of many details that need to be considered to get your property sold. Buyers are meticulous, so these details are important. Let our experts show you how to maximize your property’s potential.
We want to list your property to sell!

A few things to highlight. The amount of available retail space on Beacon Hill is very low, which is easy to see in taking a stroll down Charles Street. Retail spaces on Newbury Street in the Back Bay are also filling up. While the quoted rent rates are useful to gauge trends, they do not capture actual averages (since numerous properties do not publish quoted rates).
Retail Space Sales in Boston
With retail rents still high, the sales market for retail properties is hot. We are seeing two groups making moves on these properties. First, investors are actively looking to increase their retail holdings, particularly in prime downtown areas. Second, would-be tenants are looking at opportunities to purchase instead of rent. Currently, there are numerous opportunities for owner-occupants to buy and have their monthly costs (i.e. monthly payments for mortgage, condo fees, etc.) be less than current rental rates.

Happy New Year!
Congratulations, you have been hired! According to a recent article on Forbes.com, Boston tied for 13th of cities to be hiring this year. Overall, there is an 11% net hiring expectancy in the U.S.
What does this mean to you as a new hire and possible relocater to Boston? Consider that rental prices in Boston are already high and availability extremely low. This is before this job growth news!
5 Tips from Cabot and Company Real Estate
1. Find a reputable real estate agency. Our agents at Cabot and Company in Boston’s Back Bay are experienced professionals. Visit www.cabotandcompany.com or call 617-262-6200.
2. Begin your search as early as possible. As soon as you get the employment green light, preferably 60-90 days in advance, reach out and start your search.
3. Identify the key neighborhoods you will live in. Keep transportation and proximity to work in mind.
4. Make some transportation decisions. Boston has a great public transit system. The city has recently added many bicycle lanes. Boston is a walking city and there are many very accessible short term car rental options.

Rent Rates for Boston Retail Space
Rental rates in the Boston retail market are slightly lower than last quarter (down 0.2%) and essentially flat from one year ago (down 0.07%). In the Back Bay, quoted retail rent rates for the third quarter averaged $60.87 per square foot; in the South End, $31.22 per square foot; and the Financial District, $35.00 per square foot.
Largest Lease Signings in Greater Boston
The largest lease signings of 2011 include a 60,000 square foot lease by Stop & Shop at Atlantic Plaza (Reading, MA), a 45,000 square foot lease by Whole Food Market in Lynnfield, MA, and most recently, a 43,998 square foot lease by Restoration Hardware in Boston’s Back Bay. Restoration Hardware will be moving into the former Louis Boston building.
Improvement in the Market
While rent rates are down, the Boston retail market showed improvement in the third quarter. The vacancy rate is down to 4.6% for the Boston market. In the Back Bay, which includes premier shopping destination Newbury Street, vacancy is down to 3.6%.
With the improvement of the market, now is a wise time to invest in retail properties. Single-tenant, triple-net leases, for instance, are becoming increasingly popular as investment opportunities; particularly with the recent ups-and-downs of the stock market.
Call Eric Shabshelowitz at 617-896-5010 or email him at eric@cabotandcompany.com to learn more about retail leasing and sales opportunities throughout the Greater Boston area.
