Your First Child and Brookline Housing Averages

Have you ever been dumbfounded by all those multi-million dollar listings in Brookline, and wondered exactly what’s considered “average” in this high-price town? I sure have. (What do these sellers want — my first born?) But now, thanks to Greg Kiely of The Brookline Connection, we’ve got some specific numbers to shed a little more light on the matter.

In January through June 2008, according to Kiely, the average prices of condos and homes looked something like this:

•   750-1000 sq. ft., $390,606. (The price was $391,376 in the same period of 2007).
• 1001-1250 sq. ft., $468,963 (Down from $515,912 in 2007).
• 1251-1500 sq. ft., $567,854 (Down from $584,784 in 2007). 

And just so you can see what those prices get you, here are a few examples of properties coming close to these averages:
