5 Reasons Why Some High Rise condos Sell quickly

September 17, 2018

How quickly a Boston luxury high rise condo sells comes down to the size of the buyer pool. If a Boston luxury condo has everything a buyer could want, you’ll get multiple offers and top dollar. If not, your home could take a little while to go into contract, and perhaps not attain the outstanding price for which you’re hoping. After all, buyers are less motivated to pay list price if a home has been sitting on the market for three weeks or longer.

I’ve been Boston high rise condos for more than 20 years, and have come to know what Boston high rise home buyers in this city want. In fact, I’ve narrowed it down to the top five features that consistently end up factoring in to a successful Boston luxury high rise condo sale

1. A convenient location within a popular neighborhood. We all know the “location, location, location” pretty much counts for everything in a city like Boston. If your condominium is within walking distance to restaurants, shops, and cafes, you’re golden. Bonus points for being near the T and having easy freeway access to points north and south of Boston

2. A main living area with city and Boston harbor views. Buyers place a huge value on an open main level with direct access to city views, especially with a balcony. Open floor plan is ideal for entertaining.

3. A master bedroom suite. Who doesn’t love having their own bedroom and bath, especially if they come with luxurious finishes? Most people would prefer not sharing the one bathroom on the top floor with their kids or guests.

4. Parking. Not having a garage—especially in a hard-to-park location—is a big drawback that will knock out a substantial portion of the buyer pool.

5. A weird floor plan. Many Boston luxury condos weren’t built for how we live today. Buyers are often okay with potentially doing a cosmetic kitchen or bath remodel in the future, but interest levels tail off when awkward floor plans are involved. Having to gut the main level of a house so it makes sense is often more than buyers want to take on.
