StateoftheMarket
As we close out the third quarter of 2025, Massachusetts? real estate market continues to demonstrate resilience ? and in many areas, renewed momentum While national narratives focus on volatility, our local markets are showing encouraging signs of stability, with select regions experiencing notable growth in both pricing and activity.
Across Eastern Massachusetts, we?re seeing a surge in listings taken and healthy year-over-year gains in median sale prices Greater Boston and the North Shore stood out this quarter, with consistent buyer activity and rising values South Shore markets remained competitive, and the South Coast continued to benefit from strong demand, especially for move-in-ready homes under $700,000
Boston saw a significant uptick in single-family sales this quarter ? up 23% year-over-year ? along with a
3% increase in median sale price Neighborhoods like Beacon Hill and South Boston experienced particularly strong buyer interest. However, the pace of sales for condominiums continues to normalize, with longer days on market and price sensitivity emerging across many downtown submarkets
In MetroWest, market fundamentals remain steady Median pricing for single-family homes held firm at $11 million, while several towns ? including Framingham, Wellesley, and Needham ? saw notable increases in listing activity Buyers continue to value proximity to Boston, strong school systems, and high-quality inventory, which kept demand healthy even as the pace of transactions stabilized
On Cape Cod, the market is holding steady following a strong summer. Median sale prices for single-family homes climbed 2% year-over-year, even as listing
activity moderated slightly Outer Cape towns like Provincetown and Wellfleet saw robust demand at the high end of the market, while homes across the Mid and Upper Cape continued to attract interest from both primary residents and second-home buyers The condominium market on the Cape remains mixed ? inventory is up, days on market are longer, and pricing has adjusted slightly, offering more options for strategic buyers
Throughout the state, the increase in days on market ? especially in the condominium segment ? points to a shifting pace rather than a slowdown Thoughtfully priced and well-prepared homes are still drawing strong interest,but buyers are taking a bit more time to make decisions.
