Boston Real Estate for Sale

When buying a Boston Beacon Hill condo, one of the main topics of discussion among potential buyers is price and rightly so. Investing in a Midtown Boston condo is a big commitment, and many buyers want to make sure they’re agreeing to a fair price. So what happens when a seller is at one end of the price spectrum and a buyer is on the other? We look at the factors that go into assessing the condo or property for sale, helping to determine a fair value.

Location and View

Location is one of the most important factors in assessing a condo’s value.  Boston condos that are close to various types of public transportation, schools, restaurants and other commercial activities tend to be higher in price because they offer residents maximum convenience, and in essence, additional amenities.

The location of the Boston downtown condo you are interested in putting an offer on will also have an impact on what can be seen from the inside of the property. Beacon Hill condos with a view of  the Boston Common, the Boston skyline or Charles River, as well as end and corner units have higher property values.

Developer and Timing

Choosing a Boston condo for sale by a developer known for constructing high-end properties typically means higher Boston condo values. For some buyers, the construction and architectural highlights of a building will be very important. Yet for others, living in a condo from a specific developer may not be on the “must-have list” and can be sacrificed if the price of the unit does not fall within the budget.

Timing is another important factor affecting condo value. An over-abundance of condos for sale in Downtown Boston and condominiums that have been on the market too long usually mean lower property values.

Amenities and History 

Your condo’s value is usually higher if the amenities and features match the property style. Is there a pool or gym? Is there valet parking? What about housekeeping services? Does the landscaping include a well-kept garden?

Another value-increasing feature is the condominium’s homeowner history. If the unit, or even another unit in the building, was owned by a celebrity or well-known individual, condo values may rise.
