A Back Bay penthouse at 1 Dalton just closed for $14 million, topping one of the busiest recent stretches of home sales across Greater Boston and putting an exclamation point on a market where prices swing wildly from town to town.
The latest batch of recorded deals was compiled from The Warren Group’s sales data and published by Boston.com. The roundup showcases headline transactions in Boston neighborhoods along with a cross section of suburban sales. Listings in the Boston.com post are sourced from The Warren Group.
Back Bay penthouse tops the week
The marquee sale came at 1 Dalton, where unit 5301 reportedly closed for about $14,000,000. Property details on Redfin list the residence at roughly 4,052 square feet with four bedrooms and 4.5 baths and show a Feb. 3 closing. The deal highlights the continued appetite for trophy units in Boston’s newest luxury high-rise addresses.
Suburban closings show the range
Outside the city core, Boston.com’s rundown features more down-to-earth but steady activity. An Acton condo at 246 Main St. #6 changed hands for about $450,000, while a historic single-family at 486 Main St. in Amesbury sold for roughly $880,000. The Amesbury sale is also recorded on Zillow, matching the figures cited in the Boston.com list. Together these closings underscore the split between high-end urban deals and the commuter-market price points still hovering in the six figures.
Market snapshot
The Boston.com list is pulled from The Warren Group’s transaction feed. That research shows that even as the number of sales cools, prices keep grinding higher. In a February report, The Warren Group put the Massachusetts median single-family sale price at $612,500 in January and the Greater Boston median at $767,500. Those figures help explain how one week of activity can feature both multimillion-dollar penthouses and comparatively modest commuter homes.
