The following information is from the local MLS database, as of November 4, 2006, compared to (last week’s numbers).
Total # of condos for sale in the city of Boston: 2,795 (2,826)

The median price of all condos for sale in the city of Boston: $389,000 ($392,700)
The average price of all condos for sale in the city of Boston: $567,483 ($570,171)

My thoughts: I think the drop in average and median sales prices is a blip, that’s a big drop for just one week. We’ll know over the coming weeks.
