Average Cost Per Square Foot for Cambridge Real Estate
The average cost per square foot for Cambridge real estate is a figure that often catches the eye of buyers, of appraisers, and of real estate agents.
While it is an interesting point of information when pricing or buying real estate in Cambridge, price per square foot has its limitations. Unless the properties are similar in most respects – parking or no parking, renovated or not, lot size, bedroom and bathroom count, age of construction or renovation, etc. – the price per square foot comparison doesn’t tell you a lot. A seemingly out of whack price per square foot can make sense if the house or condo in question is substantially better (or worse!) than other properties. And an average price per square foot shouldn’t be the definitive answer when determining value since all sorts of variables can push the value up or down.
Average per square foot prices can be useful when comparing certain properties such as condos in similar buildings or single families in a neighborhood. Useful more as a guide than a definitive method of pricing, price per square foot can help highlight outliers – properties that are priced well below others on a price per square foot basis or properties that are priced well above what others of a similar size command.
Average price per square foot is also impacted by the size of the condo or house in question. Average prices per square foot are highest for small units and are lower for larger units. That makes sense since the expensive square feet in a house are the kitchen and baths – and you only have so many of those no matter how large the house or condominium.
