These types of dwellings are highly valued in this particular market because of the fact that town has a fairly low median for rentals compared to home buying. At the moment, $2,164 per month is the median, which is lower than the overall median rental rate in the Boston Metro Area.

Purchasing a Multi-Family Home

There are a lot of solid reasons to purchase a housing unit of this type. First, living in condos, duplexes, and apartments is becoming very popular. Not only are these good temporary living situations for people moving into the area, but these housing opportunities tend to be cheaper on a month-to-month basis than a single-family home mortgage.

Additionally, professionals find these types of housing situations much easier to maintain; the kitchens are fully equipped with key appliances, the grounds are maintained by staff, and leases are fairly easy to stay current with. In addition to this, many properties of this type are optimally placed so that commuting by car or mass transit is much easier.

As a result of these benefits, owning a home of this nature is a great idea from a long- and short-term perspective. In the short term, owning a property that houses multiple families provides month-to-month income for the property owner, and typically, with the help of a management company, the owner won't even have to manage things like maintenance or evictions. In addition to this, in the short term, this type of property ownership is also a great portfolio-builder.

Apartment purchasing isn't the only option. Condos are popular in this area, and since this town is considered by many to be a prime vacation spot in the summer for both Boston and New York residents, owning a condominium in the area that can be used for vacationers is a great way to earn money with little expenditure on maintenance.

In the long term, investing in a property of this type is also a great way to prepare for the future; this city is in the greater Boston Metro Area, which means that as the city grows, real estate prices will climb. Currently, the median property value in town is $438,600, and as time progresses, it's clear that the property values in the city will inevitably rise.

Selling a Multi-Family Home

There are many reasons that an owner might choose to sell off a home that accommodates multiple families; sometimes, life just happens and its time to move on, and sometimes, the owner just wants to sell the property for the extra income from the sale. In any situation, properties like this won't sell themselves, which is why it's important to take the right steps in order to close the sale.

First impressions are important, and when a property owner is looking to sell their duplex, condominium, or apartment building, it's crucial to ensure that everything is attractive to the potential buyers. One of the first steps that should be taken is preparing both the interior and exterior of the property for the potential buyers.

Not only does this include cleaning up and removing any detritus that could take away from the visual value of the property, but it also means eliciting any repairs that need to be done. Things like broken light switch plates and cracked baseboards can really sabotage a property in the eyes of a buyer, so take a few months before the property is for sale to ensure that it's in its best possible condition. If you want to know a few more steps to make your property more appealing to buyers, contact us at Boston City Properties.
