Greater Boston Real Estate Update, (Live Webinar) Weds., May 13th, 3:00pm - 3:30pm
Over the past few weeks, many clients have reached out with questions about the real estate market and what effect our present economic situation will have on the value of their home. The reality is no one knows what the long-term effects are will be, but there are steps everyone can take to be educated and prepared home buyers and sellers.
Currently, the market is strong and values are holding. Over the past few weeks, we have listed properties and all of them had showings and received offers. Historically, this area has been insulated from economic downturns for a multitude of reasons - accessibility to all the major universities, hospitals, bio-tech and hi-tech companies.
In this Webinar, we will discuss our current situation and what it means for Arlington and the Greater Boston real estate market. Steve cover the pros and cons for both buyers and sellers, and what that might mean to you and your real estate needs.
