Twitter can be an abyss of time-wastage. It can also be a good way to keep up with news and analysis, including when it comes to the Boston area’s hyper-competitive, oft-evolving real estate market.
These are the feeds to follow if you’re looking to divine where things in the region are pricing-, sales-, and development-wise and where they might be going.
In general
@CurbedBoston. Well, of course. In this feed, you’ll find every article that Curbed Boston publishes, plus stories from across the national Curbed network.
@GlobeHomes. This feed highlights just about every real estate-related news, analysis, and trend piece that the Boston Globe publishes. It’s a good clearinghouse in particular for big-picture stuff about the housing market.
@GBREB. Wondering what your broker’s thinking? Or your landlord? Check out this feed from the Greater Boston Real Estate Board.
@GBAR. Along the same lines, this feed follows the open thoughts of the Greater Boston Association of Realtors.
Waiting for the spring market? Don’t wait too long. Mild winter temperatures means spring has sprung early for the real estate market.https://t.co/p5oBEhbEYf

@warrengrp. Want data on the housing market? Want analysis? How about analysis about data on the housing market? This feed for research site and publisher the Warren Group will provide.
@BostonHBD. Broker John Keith writes this feed, which includes market analysis and information on notable deals.
@mhphousing. This is a wonky feed on regional housing policy run by the nonprofit Massachusetts Housing Partnership.
Neighborhoods
@WelcomeToDot. This is the unofficial Twitter feed for Dorchester, Boston’s largest neighborhood.
@maureencaught. This is the feed for Caught in Southie, a very service-y site about—you guessed it—South Boston.
What’s the 311? Endicott St. Pothole, Trash Blown on Richmond St., Debris Dumped from Charlestown Roof https://t.co/xfTqhsMDo6 pic.twitter.com/kKRdNPSxJJ
— North End/Waterfront (@NorthEndBoston) March 10, 2020
@NorthEndBoston. It’s in the name—the feed for North End/Waterfront, which runs down so much of what’s going on in one of Boston’s most desirable enclaves.
@allstonratcity. The unabashedly direct Twitter feed that Boston’s Allston deserves.
@FortPointer. This feed serves as a relentless chronicler and occasional critic of development and infrastructure plans—and any lack thereof—in Fort Point and the neighboring Seaport.
@JP_02130. A good digest for keeping tabs on the trends, including in real estate, in Boston’s Jamaica Plain.
