Cash buyers for Downtown Boston condos is on the rise

How does our Boston condo for sale market keep trucking along with sky-high prices AND mortgage rates 2x higher than they were three years ago? Shouldn’t prices adjust downward?

We know that the generational wealth transfer of $70 to $80 trillion dollars is underway, and this is where some of it is showing up – purchases of quality Boston luxury condos for sale.

Those who aren’t paying all-cash have big down payments to help cushion the higher rates. Payment too high? Put more down!

For the downsizers, it’s the best way to justify giving up the 3% mortgage too – sell the long-time family estate and buy the next one all-cash.

It means that the percentage of all-cash buys will probably be increasing into the Summer and Fall market.
