This Week in Boston Real Estate: Compromises, Crackberries and politics
by
From compromises to the death of a storied piece of technology, this week provided plenty of fodder for real estate agents:
•Mortgage rates are now at their lowest level in more than two months, with the 30-year FRM down to just 3.42 percent, according to Freddie Mac.
•A compromise over parkland may finally end the high-rise stale mate over the Boston Harbor garage.
•It truly is the end of an era – BlackBerry, whose cell phones were once ubiquitous among real estate agents and other members of the business community, will no longer make its own phones.
•The politics of real estate – where are Democrats and Republicans most common in Greater Boston? The results of a recent test are very interesting.
