In October 2025, the Boston real estate market remains robust yet complex, characterized by a median single-family home price surpassing $1 million (up 6-8% year-over-year) and a competitive landscape driven by strong demand from tech, healthcare, and academic sectors. Despite high mortgage rates around 7.1% and a tight inventory (down 6% year-over-year), homes sell quickly, averaging 20-33 days on the market, though luxury listings above $3 million are seeing longer sale times. Condo prices hold steady at ~$700,000, and rising inventory hints at a potential rebalancing, offering slight relief for buyers. With no crash anticipated and prices expected to grow modestly (1.5-3%) through 2026 as rates dip to ~6%, Boston’s market continues to favor sellers but shows signs of stabilizing for buyers, particularly in suburbs like Quincy or emerging areas like the North Shore.
