- We're in a cool month of February right now,
much like where the real estate market is heading,
although we do have the median sale price still going up.
However, just like a rollercoaster,
we're all on the top of the rollercoaster
heading our way down before we go back up,
with the days on market going up
and the number of units sold going down.
So this is a great time for a first-time home buyer
to get into the market and get a great deal.

Boston Uncovered: Edgar Allan Poe - Duration: 1:24.
So we are here at the statue of Edgar Allan Poe, the statue was erected in 2014,
it was designed by the sculptor Stefanie Rocknak, I'm actually
standing in Edgar Allan Poe Square, so his original house would have been built
somewhere around here. You can see in the statue he is walking away from the
Common, Edgar Allan Poe had a sort of lifelong feud with the people that he
called the Frog Pondian's or the transcendentalists,
so Stephanie Rocknak wanted to show him moving away from those people and
back towards this area, which is where he was born and where he lived with his
mother for a time before moving to Baltimore. Out of his briefcase you can
see is flying The Raven for his famous poem The Raven, it was originally
published in a place called the evening mirror and he was paid nine dollars for
it at the time. Out of the back of his suitcase are spilling his pages and a
heart for his famous story the Tell-tale Heart, which was originally published
here in Boston, and the pages actually extend all the way back to the corner of
the street there and all have quotes from his writings that were either
published in Boston or that were written about Boston, so you can see these here
in the sidewalk. He had a sort of tumultuous relationship
with Boston but Stefanie Rocknak's vision was that this was him sort of returning long
after his death.
