Greater Boston’s hottest towns?
For the most part, we are talking the usual suspects, though Weston just missed the cut, as did Hingham and Hamilton.
Still, I was also surprised to find Natick, my hometown, on the list of communities back at peak at $435,900, as well as Reading ($457,000).
Another 28 suburbs are within 6 percent of their last peak, a group includes up and comers like Burlington, Medford, Woburn and Dedham.
Happy Wednesday!

Massachusetts home sales last month rose 5 percent from a year ago, the best January since 2007, according to the Warren Group, a Boston real estate tracking firm.
