Most Expensive Neighborhood in Boston

Saturday, April 16th, 2011

The most expensive neighborhood in Boston for condos by average list price is the Back Bay. Since January of 2010, the average condo is listed for $1,587,184 vs. $1,030,026 in Beacon Hill. The average sold condo in the Back Bay comes in at $1,254,137 compared to $811,938.

Another indicator is to look at the price per square foot in the different Boston, MA Neighborhoods. Currently the average price per square foot being offered in the Back Bay is $645 compared to $870 a square foot in Beacon Hill.

Another way to look and figure out what the most expensive neighborhood in Boston, MA is to look at the range of properties for sale. Currently as of April 16th, there are 84 properties for sale ranging from a 336 square foot studio listed at $249,000 to a sprawling 5000 square foot 4 Bedroom condo with the sellers asking $9.950 million.  The Back Bay is a bigger neighborhood, so therefore there are more homes and a larger range. It will take $209,000 to buy a 401 square foot studio in the Back Bay and ranges to $16.990 million for an 8,000 square foot Penthouse.

So what is the verdict on what is the most expensive neighborhood in Boston? I consider it a draw… Both neighborhoods are  great investments for a buyer looking to purchase a new home and sellers have enjoyed steady values on their homes, even through one of the worst markets since the great depression.

Top 5 Most Expensive Homes in Back Bay

5.  $5.9 Million – Boylston Street – 2 Bedroom, 2.1 Bath spanning 3222 Square Feet

4.  $5.9 Million – Marlborough Street – 3 Bedroom, 4 Full Bath, 2 Half Bath Condo Spanning 5841 Square Feet

3.  $7.95 Million – Boylston Street – 4022 Square Foot Condo with 3 Bedrooms and 4 Full Baths

2. $12.7 Million – Boylston Street – 4922 Square Foot with 3 Bedrooms, 2.1 Baths

1.  $16.990 Million – Boylston Street – 8,000 Square Foot Penthouse Apartment

Top 5 Most Expensive Homes in Beacon Hill

5.  $1.975 Million – Providence Street – 2 Bedroom, 2 Full Bath Built in 2009 spanning 1507 Square Feet

4.  $2.15 Million – West Cedar Street – 3 Bedroom, 2.1 Bath Condo with 2481 Square Feet

3.  $2.95 Million – Mount Vernon Street – 2747 Square Foot Condo with 3 Bedrooms, 3.1 Baths

2.  $3.799 Million – Beacon Street – 3075 Square Foot Condo with 3 Bedrooms and 2.1 Baths

CAUTION: PROTECT YOURSELF AGAINST MORTGAGE RELIEF SCAM

Thursday, April 14th, 2011
Did you know that the FBI reported 71% more mortgage fraud investigations in 2009 than in 2008, and that these investigations increased throughout 2010?
If you or someone you know is seeking help with an unaffordable mortgage in Massachusetts, then don’t be a victim! I have prepared a special report about how to identify offers that are only meant to scam you.  Caution-Protect-Yourself-Report . This report will help explain what homeowners in Massachusetts that can no longer afford their mortgage payment should look for. While defaulting on a mortgage may not be an option, the help that you seek to save your Massachusetts home from foreclosure is. Protect yourself and be very careful of scams as unfortunately there are a lot of them out there.
WHO CAN YOU TRUST?
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has issued regulations safeguarding those seeking mortgage counseling and relief. I am fully compliant with FTC regulations (see disclosures*), and am someone you can trust to put your best interests first and help save your Massachusetts home from foreclosure.
Are you struggling with any of the following?
* An unaffordable mortgage
* A home worth less than the mortgage payoff amount
* A monthly shortfall (more expenses than income)
* Insolvency
* Financial hardship
I can help show you options to avoid foreclosure and how to put you back on track to financial stability. For more information and a special report, visit my website at www.MAAvoidForeclosure.com
