Recent Sales on the Brookline Border: Revisting Cummings Road

A few weeks back, I wrote about Cummings Road, one of Brighton’s quiet residential streets abutting the Brookline border. Back in July, three properties were up for sale on this street. Two months later, two of these homes have sold, and one appears to be taken off the market.

One large home sold for about 95 percent of July’s asking price. I noticed a new for sale sign and lots of construction work, so it may be that this home is being renovated or reconfigured into condos for resale. Or… maybe they just forgot to take down the for sale sign.

The other home that sold on this street sold for 96.5 percent of the July’s listed price. Both of these properties, interestingly enough, sold for substantially more than their appraised value on either Zillow, Eppraisal or Cyberhomes. Either people really like Cummings Road, or prices along the streets immediately abutting Brookline are holding their own.
