🏡 What This Means for Buyers

• Looking for value? Head to Dorchester, Roslindale, or Brighton, where prices per square foot are still well below the city’s luxury average.

• Want to move quickly? Explore neighborhoods with low DOM like Charlestown, Jamaica Plain, and Brighton—but be ready to act fast.

• Luxury shoppers should focus searches in Seaport, Back Bay, and Midtown, but expect longer decision windows.
  

🏙️ What This Means for Sellers

• Understand your neighborhood’s price per square foot and DOM before pricing your unit. In hot zones like Charlestown and Jamaica Plain, competitive pricing could spark bidding wars.

• In luxury markets like Midtown or Beacon Hill, staging, strategic marketing, and patience may be necessary as units stay on the market longer.
