Ok. Ok. I am sick of writing about national and economic news (for now at least)! Apparently we're in this thing called a recession and it's not a ton of fun even though the government pulled out the keys to the vault....but, as always, life goes on.....
So how about a little post to show you what type of condo you can get in Boston for $450,000. I picked that amount because to buy any of these properties you're looking at a conforming loan (with great rates) and also because it's more likely the buyers in this price range fit within the income guidelines to qualify for the $8,000 first time homebuyer tax credit. Enjoy!
And if you're not in the $450,000 price range, you can also search our terrific new google powered MLS search engine to find available Back Bay Condos or South End condos (no login required).
