Economic Uncertainty Shapes Boston’s Spring Market

With the spring market well under way in Greater Boston, buyers, sellers, and we in the real estate industry are reckoning with an ever more complicated residential landscape. National economic uncertainty, along with unease about local industries affected by the Trump administration, is making it more important than ever to make fully informed decisions. With that in mind, we’ve compiled some top-down information to help you on your way. Read all about it here.

Gardening in Small Spaces

This week is cold and clammy but Memorial Day weekend is right around the corner and Liz and Ellie are working on their gardens! Even if you live in the city and have limited space, there is always room for a stylish planter or two. A sunny balcony, a front stoop, or even a window box—a little green is all it takes. Click here for some design suggestions and our favorite local nurseries!

This Weekend

Boston Calling

Live music comes in all shapes and sizes, and the Boston Calling Music Festival features both big names and up-and-coming artists. This outdoor festival offers three days of non-stop music as well as lots of food and beverage options and a 100 foot Ferris wheel! Located at the Harvard Athletic Complex along the Charles River, May 23–25. Full lineup and details here!

Memorial Day

At the Memorial Day Flag Garden on Boston Common, each one of the over 37,000 flags—all planted by volunteers—represents a Massachusetts service member who sacrificed his or her life. The display will be up through May 26th and is a truly moving tribute.
