Housing Prices Holding Steady in Brookline?
Is it just my imagination, or are Brookline housing prices holding steadier than you might imagine in this shaky market? Until recently, I had been looking to buy a 2 bedroom condo of more than 1000 square feet in Brookline. Two years ago, I could barely find anything decent for less than $500,000. These days, I can find stuff for, well, a little bit less than $500,000 — but not by much. Brookline’s prices have dropped, but not shockingly so. Whether prices will continue to remain steady is anyone’s guess, but my bet is yes: Brookline’s great school system, proximity to Boston, and urban, walkable feel combined with tree-lined streets and well-kept, safe parks is going to mean that housing slump or not, prices remain high.
If I were still out shopping for a two-bed condo for under $500K (better yet $450K) here are a few I would take a look at:
33 Kent Street, No. 8, 1180 sq.ft.
1496 Beacon Street, No. 5 — $415K, 1075 sq. ft.
138 Fuller, No. 2 — $399K, 1000 sq.ft.
23 Warwick Rd, No. 4 — $459K, 1,313 sq. ft.
