East Boston Real Estate Market Heating Up

Recent real estate sales activity in Jeffries Point demonstrates there’s a strong East Boston real estate market with limited inventory and more buyers than sellers.  Many properties are selling over their asking price.  Some have been purchased by investors; others are being purchased by owner occupants.  Here is a glimpse of that activity:

  • In March, 74 Everett Street, a regular size triple-decker needing renovations, was listed at $379,900 and sold for $377,000.
  • In May, 34 Cottage Street, a completely renovated brick three-family, sold for $550,000; asking price was $549,000.
  • This past week, 49 Jeffries Street, a beautifully renovated three-level two-family home with a rooftop deck and harbor views, sold for $430,000; asking price was $424,900.
  • Also this week, 66-68 Cottage Street, an older bank-owned two-family house needing renovations, sold for $331,000; asking price was $274,900.
  • And in April, 474 Sumner Street, an older ten-room single-family home sold for $302,000; asking price was $299,900.
