While the median price for a condo in Boston has been rising steadily since 2010, this past year saw a 16.2% riseaccording to a new Boston Globe article. To be fair, a few brand new luxury buildings were responsible for some of that spike. The $1 million-plus and the $2 million-plus niches jumped considerably because virtually all ofthe roughly 420 closings at the uber-luxurious Millennium Tower finalized.My most recent market research shows thatfrom January 1-February 15, 2016 to the same time period this year there was a jump of 15.11% in median prices for Boston condos and single family homes combined. And in the $1 million-plus category, there was a increase in closings of 13.33% over last year in that time frame. In the $2 million-plus category, closingsincreased by 12.5%.While those high-end closings did play a big role, there's another importantfactor that drives prices up low inventory. As of February 15 of this year, Boston condos are back down to a 1.3 month supply (analysts consider a 3 month supply to be a balanced market). After finally cracking a 2 month supply last September, it's been headed back down.
