Irony: It's not just a river in Egypt
Below is a screen cap from the front page of BostonGlobe.com, highlighting a story about Boston's real estate market, six years after the 2008 mortgage crisis. The article is accompanied by a Shutterstock photo that shows an aerial view of the Back Bay.
The first item to mention is that the largest and most prominent building in that picture is my condo, which occupies the bottom right. You can even see my living room’s oriel windows. It’s cool-but not too surprising-that my building would appear in an article about Boston’s real estate market.
But the timing is pretty noteworthy, knowing that after fifteen years of living here, I will be putting my unit onto the market within the next month or two.
Does that sound like mere coincidence? How about if I told you that the article happened to appear on my birthday? Using *my* condo-on *my* birthday!-in an article about Boston real estate, just as I’m selling my place… It seems awfully personal, don’t you think?
And I can’t say I’m a fan of the related article, entitled “Is buying a home around Boston worth it anymore?” Thanks for the uplifting (and personally-targeted) message, guys…
