Boston Condo Market Report: November2025

As we move into the final stretch of 2025, the Boston condo market is showing a noticeable shift. From May 11 through November 11, we analyzed condominium sales across the city and the data points to a market that is becoming more favorable to buyers — a change from the competitive pace we saw over the last few years.

Demand is still present, particularly in neighborhoods with strong walkability, green space, and access to transit. However, buyers now have more leverage than they did earlier in the year, and the speed of a sale is heavily dependent on neighborhood and price point. Boston is not a blanket “fast-moving” environment this fall. Instead, strategically priced condos in high-demand areas move steadily, while units priced above market expectations or lacking updates tend to sit longer.

Back Bay remains Boston’s luxury standard, posting a median sale price of about $1.3M, supported by its historic architecture, access to the Public Garden, and a consistently strong buyer pool. Midtown and the Seaport continue to anchor the ultra-luxury segment, with median prices exceeding $2M and the highest price-per-square-foot averages in the city. These neighborhoods continue to attract downsizers and relocating executives who value concierge services, parking, and modern finishes.

Outside the high-rise luxury core, South Boston led the city in total condo transactions, fueled by newer developments and young professional demand. Neighborhoods like Jamaica Plain, Charlestown, and Roslindale are drawing strong attention as buyers prioritize community-centric living, parks, local restaurants, and commuter accessibility. On the value side of the market, Dorchester and East Boston continue to offer larger floor plans and newer construction at more approachable pricing, making them appealing for both owner-occupants and investors looking for future appreciation opportunities.

Overall, the theme is clear:
 Performance varies by neighborhood and price, not just by the market as a whole.

 Overpriced condos are sitting.

 Buyers have more negotiation power than they have in several years.

With interest rates stabilizing, we anticipate more buyers entering the market early in 2026, creating a window of opportunity for anyone looking to purchase this winter before competition increases.
