Mass Exodus from Wilkes Passage

Over the past week, there have been 4 new resale listings that have sprouted up in Wilkes Passage 1313 Washington Avenue, an unassuming looking condo development in the South End that has gorgeous interiors and underground garage parking. Combining the recent listings with the existing ones takes the total to 8 available units in the building. Granted, Wilkes Passage is one of the largest developments in the South End with 150+ units, but, it’s still rather unique to see this number of listings come in short succession out of the same development. Perhaps Sellers are trying to take advantage of the last Fall push of Buyers before we all go into hibernation for the Winter.

Regardless of the reasoning behind it, the pickings are good. Prices range from $539,000 to $1,150,000 and in size from 919 to 1,918 square feet. Garage parking appears to be included in all but two of the available units.

For more details on any of the units for sale at Wilkes Passage, or surrounding South End condo developments, please contact us.

South End Warren Avenue Condos for Sale

You may be familiar with the D4 Police Station condos that anchor the east end of Warren Avenue, but what else is available currently on this peaceful, well-lit, tree-lined street in the South End? In addition to the 8 remaining units at D4, one other Warren Avenue condo is on the market right now: 173 Warren Avenue Unit 3 (see South End Warren Avenue Condos).

A 1,080 square foot three-bedroom one-bath unit, 173 Warren Avenue hit the market in early June for $729,000, has gone through three price reductions, and is now priced at $629,000 – a whopping $100,000 off the original asking price. Priced at $582 per square foot for a sunny duplex in the northern part of the South End, it’s a a fair deal, bordering on quite good given the comparable sales over the past 6 months on Warren Avenue. If it’s so fair, or quite good, why is it still sitting there after its third price reduction? What happens quite often with properties like this, that are overpriced out of the gate, is that they get one look by agents and buyers and are passed over because they are, you guessed it, overpriced, never to be seen again (note to listing agents, oftentimes you only get one chance, don’t blow it).

173 Warren Avenue has southern exposure, and overlooks the private Carlton Park. A bonus (provided by the seller) to any buyer that comes to the table is the selection of new appliances to your preference, if that means a total Bosch kitchen, we don’t know, but, it’s always worth a shot, we’ll write it into an offer for you. To setup a showing (on 173 Warren Avenue, or the D4 Condos), please contact us.

Bryant on Columbus

According to inside sources, the Bryant on Columbus at 303 Columbus Avenue (Google Map) on the border of Boston’s Back Bay and the South End has poured its first concrete wall as part of its underground parking garage. According to construction sources, we should begin to see part of the structure rise out of the ground within the next few months. We have the below exclusive construction photos.

The Bryant is scheduled for a June 2008 completion, however, looking at the difference in progress between the Bryant and other similarly scheduled developments (i.e. the Mandarin Oriental, FP3 Boston), the Bryant has to pick up the pace. For preconstruction pricing, or to make a reservation for a unit at any of the above-mentioned condo developments, please contact us.
