The Market Shift Is Real
Between April 14 and October 14, 2025, Boston’s condominium landscape has quietly (but decisively) pivoted. What we’re seeing on the ground is now backed by the data — and the story is favorable for buyers.
The frenetic pace and bidding wars of previous seasons have softened, especially in the higher-end segments. Luxury condos in prime neighborhoods that once sold in a heartbeat are now lingering on the market. Sellers are beginning to adjust prices. And in many cases, they are becoming more negotiable.
Across most of the city, the pendulum has swung toward a more normalized, buyer-friendly environment. Demand still exists — particularly in neighborhoods that balance lifestyle, access, and value — but the urgency has eased.
Where Strength Persists
While many markets are cooling, a few are holding surprisingly firm:
Charlestown: With a median sale price of $940,000 and just 17 days on market, this area remains a hot zone of buyer confidence.
Jamaica Plain: At $715,000 median and 20 days on market, it’s one of the quicker-moving neighborhoods right now — especially attractive for buyers seeking value plus momentum.
These pockets of strength show that, even in a softening environment, well-priced and well-positioned properties still draw fast, serious interest.
Deals Are Out There — Everywhere
