Boston, Massachusetts - Real Estate
Boston is the capital of the U.S. state of Massachusetts, as well as being the capital and oldest major city in all of the New England states. The city has a population of 589,141, but is part of a much larger metropolitan area of 5.8 million inhabitants.
Real estate prices in the Boston-Cambridge-Quincy metro area are far above the national average, with the median single family dwelling costing $397,500. Prices have increased substantially in the past several years, but growth has moderated in 2005.
Nevertheless, Boston is a very expensive place to own a home, and a very difficult market to break into. There are, however, opportunities to secure steeply discounted homes in the Boston area, for those willing to browse foreclosed property listings.
