‘Tis a busy, busy time in the Boston condo market, what with lightning-fast sales and super-low inventory (two not-unrelated phenomena). But which are the busiest of the busiest condo buildings in the city? Thanks to the crackerjack research of our pals at PropertyShark, we can give you a very good idea. Herewith the 10 Boston condos with the most sales in 2013. Some of the usual suspects are here—Harbor Towers, the W Boston—but also a few surprises (and surprise omissions, we think:paging Millennium Place?). A couple of caveats: The 10 cover closed deals in calendar year 2013, and only deals of at least $10,000.
