I can confirm. Chicagos market is booming. But so is Bostons.
Not a good point to bring up
The Poster I responded and to for a post wrote this as a Question.....

Are corporations not doing business in the city these days because of "perception"? Are housing values going down, rather than up like the rest of the country? Does the average Chicagoan have a negative perception of themselves because of "Chi-raq"?
I also had his other post here and another thread in mind.... SO it was answering by WIKI who says NON-Chicagoans did the recreating of Chi-raq more vs his on Chicagoans themselves created it.
Now if cost of the housing was a factor.....that is for Bostonians to defend being a much higher median price..... Does the Chi-raq negativity keep Chicago's prices lower.... for higher end homes to those in the middle?
Still proves.... if prices can be still rising WHILE SOME SAY IT IS A CITY IN FULL DECLINE and EMPTYING OUT.... with sales even in Chicago alone most at asking and many above it. Suburbs even higher..... IT CANNOT BE ALL Chi-raq damaged.
The term is already mainly Rap and its other genres that keep the term going... been what 6 years or more? Trump never used it.... CNN or FOX might have at first... not anymore. So.... SHOULD WE HYPE IT YET?
I do not listen to RAP unless its is in a club of bar i go playing on the juke box. Few I hear Chi-raq even in. I do hear F- and N- words in the ones I dislike.... some I can like without it.
If the real estate market is booming- pricesare going up quickly and the houses are selling quicky. I think that's pretty stabdard. This describes 99% of Boston suburbs as home prices are literally the highest they've ever been and SFH listing are down to 1/3rd of what they were this time in 2019.

Perhaps you're talking about new construction?
Yeah, to be "booming" implies "growing rapidly". I might use it to describe the area where my family lives in the SC suburbs of Charlotte. Definitely not the rinky dink Merrimack Valley town I'm in now.
Inventory is low and prices are high in Camden, ME but I wouldn't call the town "booming". If anything, those data points show the opposite: a lack of boom.

I would say thats a booming town. But the 'real estate market' booming I think of prices-not population growth.
Regardless, by neither metric is the City of Boston circa 2021 "Booming" in neither price nor population.

I dunno. There seems to be a lot of new construction going on in town. Maybe "booming" a stretch, but per my definition it's closer to that word than the suburbs are.

Boston is not booming. Far from it. Prices declined precipitously and have remained there. The population has grown by 5,000 people over 3 years.
Construction is construction. Boston is underbuilt it could build heavily for 10 years and still be underbuilt. Has nothing to do with a boom whatsoever.
The increase in demand is primarily in the suburbs since the pandemic hit. This is fundamentally different than Chicago.
