In this edition of Lara's Look, I share a selection of my listings, new development and off-market opportunities with upside, Compass' latest $400M announcement, and my fall feature in Boston Magazine's Real Estate Issue. I also share Q2 data highlighting key trends and stats by neighborhood. (Q3 data will be out in the coming weeks, which I will include in my next newsletter.)
Without further ado, enjoy this month's Lara's Look and please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions regarding the Boston real estate market and beyond. It all starts with a conversation.
All My Best,
I’m excited to announce Compass’ latest milestone – a $400M Series F funding round! This includes funding led by the Softbank Vision Fund and Qatar Investment Authority (QIA). We also had participation from existing investors including Wellington, IVP, and Fidelity. This investment will bring the total capital raised to nearly $1.2 billion and a company valuation of $4.4 billion. Through this investment, Compass is positioned to expand internationally in 2019. For more information take a look at Bloomberg's coverage on the announcement.
Boston Magazine: Real Estate Edition I'm pleased to share my feature in Boston Magazine's October Issue, The Real Estate Edition! Officially hitting stands and mailboxes this week, my Compass colleague and I are interviewed as Your Neighborhood Experts. I've gifted my clients an annual subscription to Boston Magazine and if you'd also like to receive a copy, email me here.
