Unit 906 at The Ritz Carlton Low Rise is being auctioned off on September 15th at 11am.

More details will be unfolding but the unit has been rented for quite sometime at a very high rate per month.  A foreclosure auction would seem unlikely, but it is possible the owner was pocketing the money and burning the bank, as well as the building condo association. It is also possible that the 3 Avery Street Condominium Association forced the sale due to back condo fees.

Let this be a lesson; building CONDO ASSOCIATIONS can, and will put a lien on your unit if you do not pay your condo fees in a timely fashion. You will not be issued a clean 6D certificate(Document from the condo association that states you, the seller, does not have any outstanding balances due to the condo association, or upcoming special assessments) and may hinder the sale of your property in the future.

To see more photos of the unit, or if you have any questions, please visit:

We feel that the developer would have been better off with an absolute auction format rather than setting a reserve.  This would have presented the TRUE value of the property.  Unfortunately, 20 Brimmer is now valued at, or below the $4,975,000 reserve price point.  A risk the developer was willing to take, but did not anticipate happening.

UPDATE: The home is now currently priced at $4,975,000.  If you are interested in receiving more information or to set up a private tour, please feel free to email us at info@lrgboston.com or call Joshua Golden(Buyer Agent) at (617) 233-5800.

*Luxury Residential Group represents buyers at this and other auctions around the city at no cost to you. Please feel free to contact us to discuss this opportunity at 20 Brimmer St. and set up a private tour. (617) 233-5800, please ask for Joshua Golden.

We do not anticipate other developments going this route within Boston as they are very well funded but one can never tell. It is however an eye opener to say the least.  The Bryant is a unique luxury property but unfortunately was built on a lot that abutted a large commercial building and therefor had very limited views from the guest and master bedrooms.  Therefor, we see an adjusted price point of $600 to $800 a foot as both reasonable and fair for these new construction units.  The original prices were simply to high.  At the current time, buyers have limited downside and plenty of upside moving forward. Please visit Bryant Condos, Boston for new, updated pricing, as they become available.

The auction at Nouvelle at Natick Collection was a clear success for buyers in Natick on Sunday.  Accelerated Marketing Partners (AMP) was ready that morning to auction off 44 of the 215 apartments in this BRAND NEW LUXURY building. People started arriving as early as 10:30. The room was packed by 11:30, with many people forced to stand in the back. People were eager to get a piece of this unbelievable deal. As the end approached, the head of AMP removed 3 units and added 2. It was an exciting process and many of the units ended in a bidding war.

The results were better than expected! All 43 units, sold at an average $300 per square foot and were well below what you might have expected to pay just 6 months ago for an ultra luxury, new construction condo in a great area.

Result averages by condo size:

1 Bed, 1.5 Bath: 8 units sold, 47% below listing price, sales price of $266,875,  $305/Sq. Ft., with a low of $249,00 and a high of $290,000.

1 Bed + Study, 2 Bath: 6 units sold, 49% below listing price, sales price of $322,000, $304/Sq. Ft., with a low of $308,000 and a high of $364,000.

2 Bed, 2 Bath: 19 units sold, 44% below listing price, sales price of $372,000, $293/Sq. Ft., with a low of $333,000 and a high of $417,000.

2 Bed + Study, 2.5 Bath: 3 units sold, 50% below asking price, sales price of $413,000, $265/Sq. Ft., with a low of $395,000 and a high of $447,000.

3 Bed, 2 Bath: 6 units sold, 58% below asking price, sales price of $550,000, $284/Sq. Ft., with a low of $489,000 and a high of $628,000.

 2 Bed, 2.5 Bath Penthouse: 63% below asking price, sales price of $470,000, $294/Sq. Ft.

 Overall Averages:

Asking price of $769,367

Sales Price of $375,884

Square Footage of 1261

$300/Sq. Ft., 49% below listing price

At the conclusion of the auction, bidders who stuck around, were given an opportunity to buy similar units at auction prices. 12 more units were bought at this time, bringing the total units sold to 55.
