Homes for Sale
Near BU

The median asking price for a BU-area home is $777,000, while a 2-bedroom rental averages $4,596/month. For a 4-year degree, a student’s half of that rent totals a sunk cost of $110,304. Buying a property allows families to offset this cost through principal paydown, but requires upfront cash for a down payment, HOA fees, and a planned exit strategy after graduation. Use the calculator to compare the same housing arrangement, then ask Frank to review the property assumptions and Matt Dean to review financing.

Start by identifying who will own, borrow, and occupy the condo. Then review building rules, cash needed, monthly costs, and the plan after graduation. Frank handles the property discussion; Matt reviews the financing question and applicable eligibility.

The association’s budget and documents control. Ask which utilities, insurance, maintenance, staffing, amenities, and reserves the fee covers, and whether assessments or major work are planned. Compare the complete monthly cost rather than the asking price alone.

Frank works with buyers relocating to Boston and can help coordinate a property search from out of state. Financing and ownership arrangements require a separate review of your circumstances. Start with a callback and explain your timeline.

Matt Dean, NEXA Lending, NMLS #227603, is the financing contact for this page. Share your intended occupancy, purchase budget, and selected property. Ask him to confirm the applicable state licensing, property eligibility, and available programs before proceeding.
