Boston Condos Stay Expensive Despite Lower Demand

by Jeff Persons

Boston Condos Number of Sales and Sales Prices
First Half – 2000 to 2010

Graph of Boston Condos Sales

The above graph illustrates how Boston Condos sales go against the grain and stay priced strong even if demand slows down. These stats were comprised using Back Bay, Beacon Hill, South End and Fenway. Notice 2009 where there were only 214 units sold without a lowering of prices.

My opinion is that it would take several years like 2009 for the lack of demand to negatively impact prices to the downside in any significant way.

So my advice without the crystal ball has to be:
If you are waiting for lower prices for Boston Condos, I wish you patience.
