Condominiums Sold per Year

Average $ per square Foot Quarterly


4th quarter thru 12/31 (final): $446/SF
1st quarter (thru 2/13): $493/SF

The price per square foot in this area is going to ride partially upon what kind of units are available, and any building rehab or  construction that is occurring. In the 3rd quarter of 2008, for example, the first closings at Allele and FP3 occurred. This is an area in development.  There are hundreds more units, stores, and restaurants on the drawing board that will be marketed and completed within the next 3-5 years in the Seaport proper..

Number of Available Condominiums

The number of available condos as of 2/13/10: 30. This includes units currently listed in LINK at the Macallen Building, Court Square Press, Allele, and 36 A Street, which are, in my humble opinion, really in South Boston. There are also many more units available at FP3 on Congress Street, than are currently listed in the MLS and LINK.

Average days on market for available units as of 2/13/10: 195. This includes pre construction marketing time for the units listed at Allele and FP3 etc.. This number would go up considerably if all the available units were actually listed.
