Interesting to hear from Simon Butler that Boston is the number 2 investment market behind Washington DC, and ahead of Portland / San Francisco. With the majority of bidders (on properties) out of state and first-time Boston buyers, it says a lot about the relative stature of Boston as an investment market.
