Why Did 5 Bond Street, #1 Sell For $186,000 Over Asking Price? We must admit, it’s not ALL in the brokerage! The South End of Boston has an incredibly tight supply of turnkey condos in the $1M to $1.5M range. Knowing this, we were super conservative in our pricing...
It will come as no surprise that the runup to the spring market this year is much more optimistic than the run up to our “busy” season in 2020. For years, we have done more than 50 percent of our business between mid March and mid June. In other words, 25% of the year...
