COVID 19 hasn’t had a tremendous impact on the spring Boston real estate market, thus far. As the coronavirus is neither sending condominium prices down nor sending prices up. The Boston real estate market appears to have a balance of the number of available buyers vs. the number of available homes – so prices are relatively stable in downtown Boston.
What has happened is a massive drop in the number of Boston condos available for sale. Enough time has passed that we now have Boston real estate market numbers to share with you, per neighborhood
Beacon Hill Condos
Beacon Hill has seen a drop in asking prices, as of the time of this writing, 32 condos are listed for sale, of which 28% had a price reduction.
