HUB-WIDE—Scott Van Voorhis notices something curious: "[I]n many of the more coveted suburbs real estate values are untouched or even higher than they were before the bubble burst. Stretching to buy remains commonplace inside the I-495 beltway, putting more prudent buyers, who want to stay within a certain price range, at a distinct disadvantage." [Boston.com]
