Boston Real Estate Recap: 2013
2013 was a year for sellers rather than buyers, particularly in regards to luxury condos in downtown Boston. As condo inventory in Boston reached lows not seen since the 1990s, prices were kept high and bidding wars once again became a common occurrence. We expect the seller's market to continue into next year because many condos now in the pipeline, such as Millennium Partners' Millennium Tower, won't be ready for another year or two.
