BOSTON (UPI) -- Boston real estate officials said an anonymous buyer
set a city record by paying $300,000 for a private parking space.
Listing Information Network, which tracks the real estate market in
Boston, said the price tag makes the spot, which is located in the
upscale Back Bay neighborhood, the most expensive to be sold in the
city, the Boston Globe reported.
Debra Sordillo, the Coldwell sales agent who handled the parking spot
account, said the original asking price of $250,000 was driven up in a
bidding war that brought it to the record-breaking $300,000 total.
Sordillo said the sale is an indication of the difficulty people have
parking near the city's Public Garden.
"There's only so many parking spaces in the city," Sordillo said. "And
in this part, there's very few."
