As many brokers and tenants seeking units have noticed, rents are on the rise and available units are on the low. It is the laws of basic business: low supply+high demand=high prices. Landlords have been recognizing larger potential earnings from their units and 5-10+% increases haven't been unheard of. After seeing much of this first hand [...]
I recently attended a panel discussion hosted by Link Boston in an absolutely stunning unit on the 26th floor of the new building in downtown Boston, 45 Province. Here is a view from one of the floor to ceiling windows in the brand new 3+ bed, 3 bath unit:
Suffolk Construction, First Republic Bank and Gentle Giant Movers were all present, [...]
So recently I have become addicted to the site Shelter Pop. It's like HGTV mixed with E!/People Magazine... but online! It's great. I've been learning a lot.
One of my favorite articles is here. I know I have written a lot about color and adding some design pizazz to your space using color (either in the form or paint, or a rug, vases, [...]

I learned that when a town was desperate enough for rain its officials would gather everyone's last pennies and spend them on self-proclaimed 'rain-makers.' These 'rain-makers' would come to town and use different [...]
Does airbrushing a model in a magazine offend you? It probably does, but it's so known and expected that the images that the "mass media" is asking us to buy into are altered to be perfect, that it's not a real big deal anymore. So what if the images of a property are altered? What if they are altered electronically before including them on [...]
Eerie weather in Boston this afternoon. The wind is out of control and there is so much moisture in the air, that when the wind blows hard enough, you can feel the drops. It all seems very ominous about the storm coming later tonight. I am excited for the skies to open up so that this 'waiting' period is over. However, for as much unrest and [...]

It's the time of year when students are busy finding rentals for the fall, and as the apartment search continues, keep in mind that drab walls and boring spaces are easily [...]
