October 14, 2010
It’s been exactly a year since the developers of the luxury Bryant building in Boston’s Back Bay last auctioned off ten of the remaining 40 units at this high-end, full-service building. It was announced this morning that they’ll be back at it again on November 7, 2010 to auction another round of high-end condominiums. This time there will be eleven units ranging in starting price from $1,075,000 for a 3 Bedroom, 3 Bath unit with 2,146 sq.ft. on the third floor to $1,250,000 for a 3 Bedroom, 3 Bath unit with 1,941 sq.ft. on the ninth floor for $1,250,000.
If the last auction a year ago is any indication as to how things will go this time around come ready with your check book if you’re in the market. There were some deals to be had. The final sold prices ranged from 21.10% off the original asking price to as high as 41.09% off. Below you’ll see the 2009 auction results:
