$2M+ LUXURY MARKET DATA
While St. Botolph was a smaller contributor to Back Bay’s overall sales volume in 2025, with just three transactions above $2M, luxury is far from absent here. The appeal of this pocket lies in its balance. Buyers can secure newer homes, whether new construction or thoughtfully renovated residences, with generous floor plans at a noticeably lower price per square foot than the more storied sections of the neighborhood. In 2025, the average price per square foot landed at $1,429.97. The top sale of 2025 reflects this value proposition clearly. Unit #2 at 119 Saint Botolph, a duplex new in 2023, closed at $3,100,000, or $1,392.01 per square foot. Opportunities to purchase a recently constructed or fully renovated home at this price point are increasingly rare in Back Bay.
