Reside Boston News Blog

Boston, Ma- Reside Real Estate Company, Boston’s boutique luxury real estate sales and rental firm, announces in early April the opening of its first storefront retail location, which is located in the heart of Back Bay at 500 Boylston Street on the retail level. The high concentrated foot traffic of thousands of working professionals from some of Massachusetts greatest financial companies will be great exposure for the Reside brand.

We are working hard in creating an elite team of nimble city real estate professionals with extensive experience in luxury condominium sales and rentals to work from this location. 

“We’ve been very successful with our professional executive clients from the over 100 investment and consulting firms. So we thought it would be fitting to move to a retail location in the building”. We are excited to expand our business and interact with our clients in a class A building retail environment.

Double Glass Entry Doors and Showcase Glass Wall will invite passersby to view the firm’s new current displayed properties along the backlit glass windows.

We look forward to working with you. If you are interested in an agent opportunity we are hiring experienced agents with a proven track record. Please contact Lucian Estevez or Herbert Rikeman directly for a confidential interview. Find us on the web at www.resideboston.com or www.bostonerealty.com

Massachusetts single home market had its best January in 4 years.  Are we out of the woods? 2011 could be a nice recovery year. If we are up in January despite a misirable winter that is a good sign. Best January since 2007 could be a sign of a major turnaround.

Hopefully people are feeling more confident about the economy and ultimately will take the risk of buying a home. As long as there is some continued growth in the job market.

The bad news for City Agents and the Boston Condo market is only 808 units  sold in January down 18.5% from the same month last year. Median condo prices also fell 4.6% from last year.

I think the low mortgage rates and pricing will drive a strong market for 2011.  Hopefully we can get an early spring and things will be in full swing.

If you are considering a purchase or rental in the Boston Condo Market and need some expert advice or help finding the perfect home. Feel free to contact us directly via text or email 24/7. www.resideboston.com or www.bostonerealty.com

Luxury lofts 2011 Report South End Boston

South End’s Washington St. is now called by many local foodies “the new restaurant row.” Indeed, with restaurants such as Union, Stella, Toro, and Myers & Chang’s run by renowned chefs and getting rave reviews, people are drawn outside of Newbury St. and Tremont St. to seek adventures for taste buds. Harrison Ave., where the hot SoWa Open Market takes place and home to dozens of art studios, galleries and trendy furniture stores, is just one block away. Also on Washington St. is the dog-friendly Peter’s Park, which offers beautiful city gardens, playgrounds, and sports fields. With its T accessibility and close proximity to elsewhere in town (neighboring Back Bay, Financial District and close to 93 Expressway and Mass. Pike exits), it’s no wonder it is gaining attention from renters, home buyers and investors alike. Developers have long before realized the potential of this neighborhood and built some fine residential developments in recent years.

In 2000, Laconia Lofts (located at 1200 Washington St.) welcomed new residents to its unique loft homes. More luxury loft condominiums were built a few years later including Wilkes Passage at 1313 Washington St., Gateway Terrace at 1166 Washington St., and Penny Place at the old Penny Savings Bank on the corner of Washington St. and Union Park. These modern homes are simply upscale urban loft living at its finest. Sleek designs feature high ceilings, oversized windows, open, bright living space, concrete or hardwood floors, and are finished with high-end touches including gourmet kitchens and tastefully done bathrooms. These buildings also have concierge service, 24-hour security and underground parking.

For more information on these loft-style condos and current sales and rental listings in the South End please contact us. We can help.
