Hello Cat and Welcome to the Forum:
Here in West Kentucky I would say under $500 but in Boston you'll do well to get it for under $1,000. Sorry, the tea party ain't over yet. You should get prices from at least 3 painters and check their references. Don't let anyone start the job without proof of liability and worker's compensation insruance, and get a written contract; estimates don't get it. Oh! be sure to talk to your neighbors about it too. They may know just who to call.

There is a lot to concider when quoting for painting such as
How high are the walls, any vaulted ceilings, are you doing trims and doors,any major repairs to do, how much elbo room is there, who's moving the furniture, paintings how many rooms within this sqft.
To say on average up here 1000 sqft 2 coats walls, one coat doors and trims would run in the nabour hood of 1500 and thats just off the top of my head.
