Nordstrom is Having a Sale… on Condos!
September 11th, 2009
Natick has one-of-a-kind luxury condos that are going on the auction block next month. The Nouvelle at Natick is a 215 unit project that is connected with the mall. About 20% of the units are going to be auctioned October 4th.
The developers are in trouble. They built this development just as the economy was going into a tailspin. They have sold or put under contract only a total of 37 condos. Ouch!
Using town records, I was only able to verify 18 sold units, and selling prices ranged from $369900 to $1.2 million. The following are the units being auctioned:
- 1 Bedroom & 1 BR + Study $160K-$210K
796-1078 sq ft units
- 2 Bedroom & 2 BR + Study $220K-$315K
1068-1591 sq ft units
- 3 Bedroom (only 1 unit auctioned) $350,000
1774 sq ft
- Penthouse (2 units) $375K-$475K
1596-2110 sq ft units
The marketing department has tried everything to entice the local Realtor community to sell these units. Incentives for months of condo fees or mortgage payments have not worked to bring in sales. These prices have just been too high for such a unique housing option in Metrowest.
You will need a deposit of $10,000 on auction day, and I would highly recommend doing all your homework about unit locations, pricing, and mortgage financing. If you are an investor you likely will need 20-25% down payment to get your financing.
These very unique Metrowest condo options were never a good investment to consider, until now. Feel free to contact me for all details of the process and the property options. The developer will pay the commission of your Buyer Agent when bidding on these units, so take advantage of this guidance.
