Going once, going twice, sold….to 11 lucky buyers of beautiful luxury condos at the Bryant Back Bay!

Price points at this auction were much higher than most of us expected.  They averaged close to $100/sq. ft. more than the previous Bryant auction a year ago.  This says a lot about the strength of the Boston luxury market and helps reinforce a recent article in the Boston Globe where they talk about how prices of downtown condos are closing at the highest prices in a decade yet sales volume is down close to 25% compared to the same period last year.

Here is a PDF with the breakdown of the units sold:

The Bryant Auction Results #2

In case you missed the auction, there are a couple of homes on the higher floors which were not put on the auction block.  Here are some of the details:

Unit 1005 – $1,850,000 1877 sq. ft. 2 bedroom/2 bathroom with balcony

Unit 1002 – $1,650,000 1585 sq. ft. 2 bedroom/ 2 bathroom with balcony

Unit 901 – $1,485,000 1686 sq. ft. 2 bedroom / 2 bathroom

If you’d like to preview these luxury condos at the Bryant, please contact Nick Warren directly at nwarren@warrenre.com or 617-848-9616 ext. 706.

The Audubon Park Auction went off without a hitch (well, there was one bidder who didn’t realize he was bidding so they ended up having to put it back onto the auction block and they got an additional $4k for it 5 minutes after they initially sold it!) and was extremely successful for the developer and the buyers.  All 25 units were sold and an additional 10 were added during the auction.  Two more unique first floor layouts were sold after the auction at an undisclosed price.

There were over 250+ people at the auction and a lot of active bidders.  It was an extremely exciting event and I’m looking forward to the Bryant Back Bay auction on the 7th of November.  Remember, you can save $1000 off your closing costs if you setup your preview through Nick Warren at nwarren@warrenre.com or 617-933-9776.

Great opportunity for a buyer to steal a gorgeous Beacon Hill home.  Originally priced at $8.95 million NOW $4.99.  The auction is to be held March 3, 2010 however all interested parties must tour and register beforehand.  Please contact us is you are interested in the 20 Brimmer Street auction.

“When developers Peter and Elizabeth Georgantas paid $2.25 million for a dilapidated 1860s Beacon Hill brownstone about four years ago, they saw the potential for a hefty profit.”

Of course the market was in a different shape back then and the developer thought nothing of spending upwards $4 million in renovations on the 5,400 sqft Brimmer Street beauty.  Nobody could predict the economic storm that lay ahead and with all the buy-rebuild-flip profits going on it’s easy to see where the buyer could put such money into the row house and expect to still make money of its sale.  But as we all know times have changed…

In an effort to move the home quickly Georgantas reduced the asking price from $8.96 to $7.95 million, and then again, last year, to $7 million.  Now it is hitting auction at $4.9

The home consists of five bedrooms, four baths, three powder rooms, and seven fireplaces…oh and a gorgeous wine cellar. Other upgrades include, imported italian marble in all baths, smart-home technology throughout, solarium , greenhouse, library and an enormous roof deck, heated flooring, and top of the line kitchen.

According to The Boston Globe, “The Georgantas purchased the Brimmer Street property and an adjacent building for $4.5 million with plans to return the 18 rental units back into two elegant single family homes.”

The photos do not do this home justice.  If you are interested please contact us at once.

On Saturday the 17th of October the Bryant Back Bay auctioned off 10 of the remaining 40 units to a room of about 80 people.  Our agents were there for the auction with one of them representing a buyer who bought the unit with the largest discount!  I’ve created a PDF of the auction results for you.  Here is the link:

The Bryant Back Bay Results PDF

Did you miss the auction?  Not to worry.  As usual, the remaining units from the Bryant will go back on the regular market with adjusted pricing.  With it’s great location and fantastic finishes, I predict the remaining inventory will begin to move somewhat quickly!
