Is the Boston real estate market in a bubble? A new report from listings engine Redfin says yes, ranking the market the nation's seventh-frothiest. Reasons include the usual suspects: bidding wars, the number of deals done at/near/over the last asking. There's also this: "More deals are being financed with only 5% or 3% down-payments, so the market's getting leveraged for the first time in six years, too. Smart investors are starting to bail out."
