The Swellesley Report

Construction on The Durant, the luxury condo complex being built on the spot of the old Wellesley Inn, is now scheduled for spring, with units expected to be delivered to residents in December of 2010. Back in May, when developers first began publicizing the complex, it was hoped construction would be done by late next year/early 2010. Of course, with the real estate market how it is these days, the delay probably isn’t the worst thing. In the meantime, aat least the fence covering looks a lot nicer than it did a few months back.

Wellesley didn’t crack the top 10 most expensive places to live in the annual Coldwell Banker Home Price Comparision Index, but it is in some pretty exclusive company. Thirteen markets boasted average home prices of $1 million and only 3 of them were outside of California: Boston, Greenwich, Ct., and Wellesley ($1.2 million). Wellesley ranked No. 12 overall.

The Index also looks at the most affordable places to live, but we’ll ignore that for the purposes of the The Swellesley Report.

And now, for a little amusement. If you’d like to see how much your home might be worth in another market, pop your numbers into Coldwell Banker’s Home Price Comparision Index calculator.
