For a dining room that might be nice, for a great room, I'd be afraid it would be too trendy, or commanding.

He might have some pointers.I do commercial real estate but not residential and have lived in GA all of my life (43 years) now.Your broker/agent needs to run an absorption report and also what the trend is for pricing.

Thanks mate and great advice.We just recently turned on the marketing engine and it's been hectic.Crazy to witness how many disgruntled landlords there are in our market.It's a trend I noticed 10+ years ago but never bothered opening our doors to outside folks.I'm a more controlled business man nowadays so won't be doing any guerilla marketing tactics hahaWe are already killing the online game with simple SEO so it would be unfair to the rest if we pulled out all of our artillery lolThanks again and much success

Tremont has become a trendy, hipster aread and is also good.

@Sergio Rodriguez, one way to quickly check the trend is to take the trailing 12 and compare the T12 numbers to the T3 (last three months, multiplied by 4) to the T1 (latest month, multiplied by 12).

Conversely, some recent empty-nesters are moving into the trendy areas of the city (Central West End, etc.) in order to downsize now that kids are off to college so there's kind of a flip-flop going on there that should net out as a wash.As long as major industries/business HQ don't all bail on St.

Depending on whether the trend is moving up or down determines whether the peaks or the valleys are greater.  

Never understood this about RE, every time the market gets good all of a sudden it becomes trendy to either break even or pay to own a property.

Maybe in some ultra high priced markets (Vegas, Cali, Arizona, NY, etc) the trend is reversing. 

Don't worry about the new trendy asset class that you're likely to hear about on this week's podcast or read about online.
