Recent market data provided by the Greater Boston Association of REALTORS® of which we are members, for the month of May reveals the market continues to be favorable for buyers due to extremely low interest rates and for sellers because of the lower supply of available inventory from which buyers may choose. While prices continue to be affordable, single family median prices have gone up 7.4% year-over-year while condominium medium prices have dropped slightly by 4.3%. You must consider PRICES AND INTEREST RATES when determining what’s affordable for you and what’s really happening in the market!

The American Brewery Lofts, located in Jamaica Plain, are auctioning off 21 loft-style units on June 26th. Prices have been dramatically reduced -up to 57% off of pricing. Units range from $195,000 to $295,000 and financing with downpayments of as little as 3.5% is available!

The American Brewery Lofts has reached out to the Boston Lofts Team in an effort to further promote this auction and welcomes all of our clients to be involved in this opportunity. As exciting and advantageous as the prospect of purchasing a unit such as these at auction is, there are many different facets to this procedure - including financing, inspections, bidding and documentation - that are very different from a standard purchase. The Boston Lofts Team will guide you through this process - it is imperative that you are represented by the most qualified loft buyer agents in Boston!

I just had the opportunity to tour the lofts at 72 Hamilton in Cambridge. What I expected before my visit were modern townhouses in an urban setting. What was delivered was an exceptional ultra-contemporary and luxury townhouse complex in a serene setting with amazing outdoor space.

These eleven 1 to 3-level units were created with a vision to build sunny, open and well-designed units that fit well in a unique setting. The surrounding neighborhood is a blend of residential homes tucked between the booming tech & design businesses of Kendall Square and Cambridgeport. From the outside, this building looks like it could house an architecture firm or a biotech lab. But, from the moment you enter the units, you are welcomed by sunlight streaming in from a wall of six foot windows,  amazing details in the gorgeous cook’s kitchens featuring GE’s newest Café appliances, glass tiles and stone countertops, gleaming hardwood floors, beamed ceilings, steel-wire mesh railings, and bright / airy and freshly styled rooms. The incredible spring weather could have been a factor, but what wowed me was the amount of outdoor deck space the units offered. The townhouse units boast Master Bedroom decks, which really are the definition of an "urban oasis".

Units range in size from 1233 - 1540 Square Feet, 2 bedrooms (+ dens) available, parking, prices range from $699,000 - $855,000.

Searching for a loft under $300,000 is not out of the question in the Boston Area. Finding one that is over 1200 Square Feet and has top-of-the-line finishes in a factory / brick and beam setting is nearly impossible. Until now.

Unit #223 at Laconia Lofts has just been reduced $100,000 to $1,024,000, making the $/SF around $483, much lower than anything else currently listed in the building, and even lower than the 3 sales in the past 6 months.

All the units at Laconia Lofts were delivered raw to their original owners, making the finishes within the building unique to each home. #223 is no exception. Taking cues from pop art, this home is a visual playground from its curved ceiling detail to angled beams.

The focal point of the kitchen is the 15-foot granite bar, with over 8 feet of uninterrupted counter space for prep, serving or dining.

The 2nd full bathroom is also not to be missed, with its Jetsons-like shower/tub/entertainment enclave with surround sound and TV screens.

Designed by the architectural firm of Hacin+Associates with developer Jack McLaughlin, this staple building in the SOWA district was completed in 2000. Many residents are artists, and their media are as vast and varied as the condos themselves.  Source
