Newer condos dominated the 10 most expensive home sales in Boston in August. Fully seven were in either ongoing conversions at 380 Commonwealth Avenue and 448 Beacon Street in Back Bay or in the recently opened Millennium Tower at 1 Franklin Street in Downtown Crossing.

As for the other three, one was a condo in a familiar address and the other two were adorable townhouses. Thanks to real estate research site OpenHouse for the data.
