Year-over-Year Comparison: March 2024 vs. March 2025
Despite a slightly lower number of transactions compared to the previous year, Boston's housing market remains competitive, with homes selling close to asking prices and average market time holding steady.
What This Means for Buyers and Sellers
For Buyers: The market continues to offer strong value, with only modest increases in median sale prices and stable days on market. Buyers may find slightly more negotiating power compared to last year, given the small dip in the sale-to-list ratio.
For Sellers: Well-positioned properties are still achieving near-list prices. With a slight tightening in inventory—especially in the single-family segment—sellers can remain optimistic if pricing strategies are aligned with current market trends.
Looking Ahead
While March 2025 showed a slight cooling in transaction volume, it also reflected a market that is recalibrating rather than contracting. Price stability, steady market times, and high-value sales indicate enduring demand in Boston’s core neighborhoods.
For buyers and sellers alike, staying informed and working with a knowledgeable real estate professional remains essential. If you’re considering entering the market this spring, let’s talk about how to position yourself for success in this evolving environment.
