Boston Condos for Sale and Apartments for Rent
Rambling Thoughts
It is the week before Christmas and the start of Hanukkah. Mortgage rates are up again as are Boston condo for sale prices. Home sales are down a tad in November but not by much.
I had a good year and a bad year too and have decided contemplating retiring.
I plan to stay in the game for now
2024 has been a good year. I had the very best clients. I enjoyed working with them.
It has been a bad year because my parents health have been poor and New York medical system is hard to navigate. It took several visits to the emergency room, doctors, and urgent care before I received some help for my parents.
My father was inflicted with COVID-19 and believe he was exposed during one of our visits to an emergency room.
The year has been full of challenges but it has also been a year of learning and of getting things done. I am ending the year in a better place. I’m enjoying the learning process of AI.
My plans for 2025 are still kind of vague. There are too many unknowns. I have a list of things that I want to do. If I get to do some of the things on my list 2025 will be a good year.
For now, I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and a Happy new Year.

I think it’s wrong that only one company makes the game Monopoly.
My son is now an “entrepreneur.” That’s what you’re called when you don’t have a job.
What is the difference between unethical and ethical advertising? Unethical advertising uses falsehoods to deceive the public; ethical advertising uses truth to deceive the public.

They say St. Patrcik drove the snakes out of Ireland. I wonder can he do that with Congress.

Why does overlook and oversee mean opposite things?

When the gas car was first introduced, it couldn’t compete with horses. After all, we’d had thousands of years to optimize our systems around horseback, and this new technology was still nascent. Roads were rare, gas stations were scarce and the cars themselves were unreliable.
The same thing happened again when electric cars made a comeback a hundred years later. At first, they had limited range, limited space, low acceleration and charging was a hassle.
When a new technology arrives, it is almost always at a systemic disadvantage. If we wait until the new thing is better than the old thing, we’re taking a big risk.

I like work, it fascinates me. I can sit and look at if for hours

If there’s something I’ve learned in my 20 years as a Boston Realtor, it’s that conditions are never perfect for buying a Boston condo for sale, though there are certainly times that are more ideal, but the decision to invest in a home is one of the most worthwhile decisions you can make.
Homeownership can enhance your life in many ways, and there are excellent reasons to choose a home in Boston, Massachusetts specifically. If you are unsure or considering taking the leap toward homeownership, here is the number one reason why you can feel confident about buying a condo in Boston this year.
Here it is:

I installed a skylight in my Beacon Hill apartment. The people who live above me are furious.

An apartment renter was sending me a fax. You’re sending me something via fax? What is it, an apartment rental lease from 1993?

redundant words that are not needed.

Every day I receive emails from people who want to write articles for this site or they want me to mention their business or add a link to an article or page.
Up until a couple of years ago, I answered these emails. It wasn’t unusual for the same person to send me several emails “following up”, or “circling back” or asking for a response in some other way. Yet today, I don’t respond.
As far as I know, I have never sent anyone an unwanted email and I have never sent an email and demanded a response.
I respond to the emails I receive from people who want my help buying or selling a Boston condo or renting a Boston Beacon Hill apartment , unless they are a prince who is trying to get millions of dollars out of his country.
No, I do not have to respond to anyone and everyone who sends email. Part of the reason I have this site is so that people can find me or ignore me as they please.

Wild forest fires on the West Coast, hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico and catastrophic floods are raging all around us. These natural phenomena would normally happen every 10 or 20 years. The fact that they are becoming annual events should be alarming to even the most ardent skeptics. With over two months to go to the end of the hurricane season, the National Weather Bureau has already run through its annual names for storms and has begun using the Greek alphabet instead
In spite of near unanimous agreement among scientists about global warming, climate change and overall threats to our environment, a substantial segment of the population remains unconvinced. “Alternative facts” abound in our polarized world and justify inaction. The results are squandered opportunities and missed chances to make the world a better place and a healthier home for future generations.
