Boston-area home prices per square foot currently span the gamut from $175 to $3,132, according to a new article by Curbed Boston. Curbed put together a chart to illustrate the ranges around the city, which includes some of Boston's surrounding suburbs.In some neighborhoods, the square foot price span is a lot larger than in others; Back Bay, for example, currently goes from $579 to $3,132 per square foot.Why such big differences?The factors that go into pricing a condo or single family home include the condition of a property, how good (or not) the common areas look, how well the home "shows," the condo association's financial condition, where on the block the home is located, what percentage of the building is owner-occupied, what improvements or repairs have been made, what repairs may be coming up, how much light there is, and what the parking options are.You've probably seen ads for instant home price workups in your Facebook feed. The problem with them is that they're based on algorithms that don't know any of those important specifics about your home. They also don't have that gut feeling that comes with 25 years of experience in the Boston residential real estate market.I believe thatpricing is one of the most critical decisions you can make regarding the sale of your home. Even in an active market, overpricing can have serious consequences.
