City of Boston - Waterfront

The new residential tax exemption will exceed $2,000 for the first time, representing an increase of $472 over last year’s amount. Each qualifying homeowner will save $2,435 on their property tax bill by taking the residential exemption. Also remember: You need to have owned and lived in your home as your primary residence on January 1 before the current fiscal year. For example, to be eligible for Fiscal Year 2017 (July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017), you need to have owned and occupied your property as your primary residence on January 1, 2016. The deadline to file for the exemption is April 1 (or 3 months after the actual [not preliminary] tax bills are mailed, if later).

Throughout essentially every Boston neighborhood we saw substantial increases in the prices of sales as well as the price per square foot. Not surprisingly, Midtown had the largest jump in price per square foot of 36% and mainly attributed to the new Millennium Tower. While Midtown is certainly a newly developing residential neighborhood there were large spikes in average price per foot in many of Boston’s established neighborhoods. Beacon Hill had a jump of 11%, Waterfront increased 3%, North End was boosted by 8% and Fenway saw an increase of 12%. Many other neighborhoods had increases between 4% and 8%. Another interesting statistic is the change in average days on market from neighborhood to neighborhood. Properties in the Waterfront in 2015 had an average marketing time of 63 days which fell to 54 days in 2016. This was one of the most dramatic changes in this category throughout the Boston neighborhoods. Home values in the North End saw a slight uptick since last year while in the Waterfront they remained essentially the same.

North End / Waterfront Reviews Zoning and Licensing Process

Zoning process revisited

At the January 12, 2012 NEWRA meeting held at the Nazzaro Community Center, there was a unanimous vote to revise the procedure for reviewing zoning and licensing applications for Boston waterfront properties. In the past the applicant needed to make a presentation in front of the full membership at monthly meetings. In a 28-0 vote, the association has agreed that it is not necessary to bring the matters of zoning or licensing in front of the entire membership if the issue does not raise community concerns.

Zoning and licensing matters have been the main focus of many of the NEWRA meetings in the past. With this revision, it will allow the membership to focus on other important issues that may surface in the community. Local businesses will also be saving time and money which would typically be allocated for community review. The zoning and licensing committee will continue to review all applications and enforce the neighbor notification policy.

To find out more about how this decision will impact the area, or to find out more about our available Boston Waterfront real estate, contact CL Waterfront Properties today.

QR Codes – The Hottest Thing in Real Estate!

Filed under: Boston Waterfront Real Estate Market, Carmela Laurella, CL Waterfront Properties NEWS. • Tags: , . By

QR Codes are revolutionizing Boston real estate!

14 million Americans used QR codes this past June alone, according to a recent ComScore study – and useage is rising dramatically. You’ve probably already seen QR codes, although you might not know exactly what they do or what purpose they serve.

QR codes work a lot like the bar codes you see on items in the grocery store – with one major exception. Bar codes store minimal info about an item, typically the stock number and often also the price. QR codes are keyed to a specific URL – so they can take you with a quick scan of a smartphone to the web address of an amazing Boston luxury condo! We have been using QR codes for quite a while now, on pretty much any printed material we generate. The codes are a very simple and useful way to give people access to more information than you can share with someone in print – and by bringing people to your website, you can interact with them on a much more personal, social level.

Click the QR codes you see on listing sheets in the window of our Waterfront offices, on materials you print from this site, and on brochures you see at our open houses to go directly to full details about any of our fabulous Boston waterfront properties. To find out more about the luxury Boston real estate we represent or to learn more about how we use technology to help our clients sell for top dollar or find the perfect new home, contact CL Waterfront Properties today – or scan one of our QR codes with your smartphone!
