Boston Condo Sales Up

The Boston condo market continues to grow stronger. According to a recent Boston Globe article, condo sales have jumped an astonishing 29% since this time last year and the median sales price has seen a 6% increase. Consumer confidence has been regained in the market place and many buyers are beginning to re-enter the market taking advantage of low interest rates. The Waterfront market alone has shown record setting growth over the past year with a 21% increase in median sales prices and a 4.82% increase in price per square foot. CL Waterfront Properties, LLC president, Carmela Laurella, was quoted in the article saying; “We have more demand than we have property to sell…We can barely list anything without it going under [a purchase agreement] within a couple of weeks.” For questions and inquiries about Boston real estate please contact CL Waterfront Properties, LLC.

Less Inventory Means Faster Sales – And A Stable Market

Boston's Flourishing Waterfront

Inventory of Boston luxury condos and single family homes is at an all-time low, according to MLSPIN. Low unsold inventory is a key indicator of a stable market, a welcome sign for the city. Our own Waterfront neighborhood proved to be among the strongest in Boston, with a 36% drop in available inventory since the same time last year. Overall, the city’s real estate inventory showed a 17% drop in the same time.

Listings are staying on the market for less time as a result – a 12% drop from last year citywide – and list prices are trending upward, with an aggregate 10% increase since last year. One of the key factors here is a lapse in new construction – during the low point of the recent recession, the proliferation of new residential construction came to a crawl in the heart of town. Now, with demand catching up to supply, new projects to fill the growing need for Boston Waterfront real estate are still a few years from becoming a reality for discriminating buyers.

Whether you are looking to buy or sell a Boston luxury condo, this strong market means that it is more important than ever before to work with an outstanding real estate team. To learn more about these market trends, get a professional evaluation of your property, or tour the finest available Boston luxury apartments, contact the real estate leaders at CL Waterfront Properties today.
