Anyone looking for a 3 bedroom in Davis Square?

[rax]

The apartment underneath will be empty as of June 1st. It's an 8-10 minute
walk from Davis, it's got three bedrooms, a living room, a dining room,
a kitchen, a pantry, a bathroom, free laundry in the basement, storage
space, gas stove, dishwasher, and potential off-street parking. While
there were trials and tribulations aplenty to get there, there is now a
new gas heater! :) We've had friends downstairs for the last couple of
years and it's been really nice, so if you think living downstairs from
eredien, doma, lutris, occasional
faerieboots, and me would be rockin' hardcore, drop me a
line. Rent is currently $2100/month. More details available on request.

It's what it was getting two years ago and last year, though I'm not certain that the housing market issues have particularly lowered rents in Somerville, based on my perusal of housing ads a month or so ago. I'd be curious to know if things have gone way down in the last month, since then maybe I should argue with my landlord about paying less rent. :)

The housing market hasn't really collapsed in the Boston area. Especially in the northern suburbs. Things haven't increased very much, but nothing has really tanked.

That's what I thought. I was thinking about moving and I found places where I could get a different set of perks for the same price and a better set of perks for a higher price, but nothing tempting enough to move for.

I talked to someone last August who was claiming the vacancy rate in Cambridge was high relative to most other years. I can't imagine the market would have gotten stronger since.

If prices have gone down, it's quite possible that some landlords haven't gotten around to admitting this to themelves. If so, it's possible that the prices at which the properties that stay listed for long periods of time haven't gone down, which doesn't really prove much about the places that find renters more quickly.
