Average $ per square Foot Quarterly

2nd quarter thru 6/30 (not final): $447/SF.

The price per square foot in this area is going to ride partially upon what kind of units are available, and any building rehab or  construction that is occurring. This is not yet a large or particularly developed area (it will be), and the sample size is small. The jump during '04 was mainly due to the beginning of the sellout of the Channel Center. There are hundreds more units, stores, and restaurants on the drawing board that will be completed within the next few years.

Closed Units per Quarter

Closed 2nd quarter thru 6/30 (not final): 20

For the 1st quarter, selling price was an average of 91.33% of asking.
For the 4th quarter, selling price was an average of 93.67% of asking.
For the 3rd quarter, selling price was an average of 95.12% of asking.
For the 2nd, it was 93.1%, and 
For the 1st '07 it was 90.1%. 

Approx. average days on market units closed during the 2nd quarter was 87.
Approx. average days on market units closed during the 1st quarter was 194, includes preconstruction periods.
Approx. average days on market units closed during the 4th quarter was 39.
Approx. average days on market units closed during the 3rd quarter was 83. 
For the 2nd quarter, 79.
During the 1st quarter '07 was 279. This includes pre-construction time for the units sold at the Channel Center. The few other units to transact during this time had much lower days on market numbers.

Median Selling Price

2nd quarter thru 6/30 (not final): $554,0000.

This area is really just being born. Earlier than '03, it really just consisted of Fort Point Place, the lofts at Sleeper Street and one or two other buildings. The Channel Center began closing  in the 3rd quarter of "04. The other spikes after that represent clusters of the larger more expensive units closing there.

Number of Available Condominiums

The number of available condos as of 7/17/08: 22. This includes units currently listed in LINK at the Macallen Building, Court Square Press, Allele, and 36 A Street, which are, in my humble opinion, really in South Boston. There are also many more units available at FP3 on Congress Street, and Allele than are currently listed in the MLS and LINK.

Average days on market for available units as of 7/17/08: 87. This includes pre construction marketing time for the units listed at the MacAllen Building and FP3. This number would go up considerably if all the available units were listed.

Average $ per Square Foot Yearly

This chart shows the approximate average dollar per square foot figure that condominiums in the Seaport District sold for in each year from 1998 through the end of December, 2007. 

It is important to remember that average $ per SF is really just an index. Value varies greatly according to location, condition, configuration, location in building, parking, condo association
