We told you earlier this week that ex-Red Sox Jonathan Papelbon had listed his Back Bay penthouse for $3.1M. And we told you this morning about the manse at 15 Commonwealth that's been on the market for more than 1,000 days, asking nearly $16M. And Tom Brady's Beacon Street stunner, that's been up for grabs now almost 100 days even at $10.5M.
We knew they had company in the ultra-luxury strata of Boston real estate. We did not realize, however, just how much company: There are currently 49 condos and single-family homes on the Boston market asking at least $3M (Papelbon's is actually the cheapest). What are some of the others? A survey using price points (all data from our pals at Zillow):
