nice move WestonMan, I sold in Natick next door last Oct mine was 45% gain from March97 to October2k that was 3.5 yrs, very consistent I used to ride my bigass bicycle by your house every weekend must have been the one with the iron gates and the hairy guy brandishing a shotgun might soon rent with a friend in Framingham a former colleague just sold his Grafton MA house that is a little farther out into Boston suburbs (Wuster County) they saw (honestly) 55% gain from Nov98 to July01 now but they took advantage of builder prices back at purchase their plan is to rent for one full year then secure another builder home, at lower prices I think you are smart and the insanity around Boston will soon abate this smells like a blowoff top to me all I hear is "rates are so low" soon we might hear "properties just arent worth that much" just like with stocks, lower volume precedes price declines residential units declined 6.5% from May00 to May01 next comes the decline in price when it happens, I will be surprised even though I predict it will happen good luck, Jim
