Boston condos for sale priced at the top 25% of the price range for downtown real estate are considered “premium homes.” In today’s Boston downtown real estate market, there are deals to be had at the higher end. This is great news for homeowners wanting to upgrade from their current Boston downtown condo.
Much of the demand for housing over the past couple of years has come from first-time buyers looking for their starter home. Many of the more expensive Boston luxury condos for sale have not seen as much interest, however they are still very attractive to homebuyers.
According to ILHM’s Luxury Report, this mismatch in demand and inventory of luxury and premium homes has created a Buyer’s Market. For the purpose of the report, a luxury home was defined as one that costs $1 million or more.
“A Buyer’s Market indicates that buyers have greater control over the price point. This market type is demonstrated by a substantial number of homes on the market and few sales, suggesting demand for residential properties is slow for that market and/or price point.”
The authors of the report were quick to point out that current conditions at the higher end of the market are no cause for concern.
“While luxury homes may take longer to sell than in previous years, the slower pace, increased inventory levels and larger differences between list and sold prices, represent a normalization of the market, not a downturn.”
Luxury can mean different things to different people. To one person, luxury is a historic Beacon Hill property. To another, it could be a Boston Midtown penthouse at the center of downtown Boston Knowing what characteristics mean luxury to you will help your agent find you the home of your dreams.
Bottom Line
If you are debating upgrading your current house to a premium or luxury home, now is the time!
As Charles Darwin once said: “A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life.”
