January 2010 Review

January has come and gone, now it’s time to look back  and see what happened in Back Bay and Beacon Hill sales. It’s looking pretty positive for the most part, but certainly looking better for Back Bay owners than Beacon Hill owners if you need to get your home sold.

The First 10 Days of Twenty Ten

Since it’s now 2010 or Twenty Ten, I thought it would be a good idea to see what happened in Boston condo market in the first 10 days of the new decade.

Back Bay Condos:
6 New Listings with (4/6 under $550k)
5 Under Agreement (3/5 over $1 Million)
6 Sold (3/6 under $400k 2/6 over 1.3 Million)

Beacon Hill Condos:
0 New Listings
3 Under Agreement (List Prices from $339k-$1.25 Million)
1 Sold ($827,500)

South End Condos:
2 New Listings ($335k and $699k)
3 Under Agreement (List Prices from $300k to $750k)
1 Sold ($300k)

My Take: Back Bay continues to be where the action is. It’s where the highest number of new homes on the market are located and where the highest priced sales are happening. There are higher priced homes on Beacon Hill than in Back Bay but more of them seem to be selling in Back Bay.
