Boston Real Estate
Out-of-towners are moving to Boston and bringing their money with them, according to a Redfin study, which shows new residents have a maximum average budget that is 9.7% higher than that of local homebuyers.
The budget difference between locals and migrants is the 23rd highest in the nation, according to the report.
The average maximum budget for out-of-towners for a Boston downtown condo for sale is $1,069,360, while locals were at $974,973. The median sales price in the area is $550,000.
Redfin developed the ranking by analyzing the average maximum list-price filters for homes set by Redfin.com users in their saved searches.
