While this is a positive feature of the town, this also increases the amount of work a prospective buyer must do. Market experts strongly advise consumers to scrutinize the complex and homeowners’ association in which their chosen property is a part. “With so many people living in close proximity, [co-op] buildings can have a lot of rules in order to keep the peace…. Before you move in, make sure you’re going to be able to live with the rules,” counsels a condo property expert.

Selling/Listing a Condo
Sellers face a different challenge in this community. With a large number of units available in the town, it can be hard to make a property stand out. This is especially true if the seller’s unit is in a large complex with several other available properties. The right agent can make a huge difference. Their experience in marketing can help a seller’s unit rise above a cluttered field. "Your [unit] should be more appealing than others if it's on an upper floor with less noise or a nicer view. Also, highlight the distinction if it has a balcony or is a corner unit, which means it has two outside walls rather than one," advises one property professional. Boston City Properties understands how to stage, market, and promote your unit’s unique features. Contact us to serve as your listing agent and sell your property quickly for the best price.
