According to a recent Boston Herald article there is intense competition for multifamily homes in and around Boston. The reason stated is due to three categories of buyers including contractors, investors, and owner-occupants. The Herald says “Driving the trend are a rebounding housing market, low interest rates, and resilient rents in Greater Boston”
MLS reports in the month of April, 61 multi-families sold and 191 went under contract not to mention inventory is down 18% from last year.

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.

Rachel Slade’s off-kilter take on Hub dwellings.
By Rachel Slade
Pahk the Cah – For $350K
Life just keeps getting tougher for Back Bay die-hards, as ex-suburbanites pour into the city with their pedigreed dogs and black BMW’s. So when circling the block for three hours after a hard day’s work loses its charm, it’s time to invest in some asphalt. But with only a handful of parking spots listed on the MLS, the Back Bay’s alleys are precious property, indeed. Case in point: Though a two-vehicle tandem space between Commonwealth Avenue and Newbury Street is exposed to all the elements – snow (BYO shovel), inebriated students – it costs about $1,000 a square foot, making it some of the priciest pavement in the world. Get a Zipcar account, you say?
That’s part of the problem–the car-sharing powerhouse has already gobbled up 107 spots around the neighborhood. Where’s teleportation when you need it?
Address: 132 Commonwealth Avenue, #5/6 Listing Price: $350,000, Listing Agent: Shelagh Brennan, Cabot and Company, 617-896-5002, cabotandcompany.com, Stats: One big, expensive slab of pavement in the Back Bay.

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!

For the first time since the economic downturn began in 2008, the monthly national average for commercial real estate prices showed year-over-year improvement. According to the report, in October 2011, prices increased 2.2% from the same period a year ago. The average transaction size (+29.4%) and overall transaction volume (+23%) are both showing positive improvement.
Another positive sign for the commercial real estate market is that the ratio of distressed sales continues to decline. In March 2011, 35.4% of all repeat sales were distressed sales. In October, that number shrank to 25.2% nationally.
As we head into the new year, this positive trend should continue. Interest rates are at record lows, which is presenting great opportunities for businesses to buy their retail and office spaces rather than continue to rent. Commercial real estate is also a popular investment vehicle amidst the recent uncertainty in the stock market.

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.
