Selling a Condo in Porter Square

The reality is there are many, many dozens of condos that sell every single year in Porter Square. Close to 100 sold in 2025 of various sizes and condition in and order Porter Square.

The difference between a property getting an OK price and a slam dunk price comes down to a few things:

  1. How did you prepare the property for sale? The reality is if you start looking through many of the recently sold condos in Porter Square you will notice many units go on market with virtually NO updates or preparation. These sellers are leaving substantial money on the table, most of the time we are talking 10 to 20% in value GONE!

  2. Did you stage the property? Not all sellers are in a position to stage the property but a well staged property will further increase the value of the property and is an excellent ROI. In addition, I have sold multiple staged properties in 2025 where the buyers specifically wanted to BUY the furniture from staging - in other words, they fell in love with the property because they loved how it looked. Let that sink in for a second…if the property was not staged that buyer may not have had ANY interest in the unit! 

  3. Did you price it right? Properties that sit lose leverage in the offer negotiation process and always end up landing at lower prices compared to those that generate substantial interest. I know the difference between a negotiation going well and one falling off the rails. Don’t be that seller!

Recent condos that I helped clients sell in Porter Square:

20 Rindge Ave, Unit 3: This was a 3-bed investment grade condo that if we sold as-is would have sold for much, much less than where it ultimately landed. After the renters lease expired we went into the unit and made substantial updates to the unit but at an extremely reasonable cost given the work we covered. We then staged the unit and converted what was once an investment unit into a true owner-occupant quality unit. The result? Multiple owner occupants interested in the condo and ultimately a one-weekend sale at a very strong price point!

25 Rindgefield St, Cambridge: This seller client had rented his condo in North Cambridge as an investment for some time. However he was spending more and more time in Europe and it was making less and less sense to continue to operate as a landlord overseas. We worked together to properly prepare and market the unit. With our strategic pricing we created a bidding war which ultimately resulted in over a half dozen offers and a very strong accepted offer WELL over asking with virtually no contingencies! The seller was thrilled with the outcome and is enjoying his retirement in Europe!
