  • Condos & townhomes: popular among first-time buyers and downsizers seeking lower upkeep

  • Rental units: widespread across East Boston with varied price ranges

Tip: Define your goals—living, renting, or investing—as it affects financing, tax considerations, and strategy.

📈 Year‑Over‑Year Comparison (2020–2025)

  • 2020–2021: Peak buyer demand; prices rose sharply. East Boston saw a surge in activity as remote work boosted demand for homes near transit and green space, with prices jumping over 20% in some pockets like Jeffries Point.

  • 2022–2023: Slowed but remained competitive. Rising interest rates cooled the frenzy, but East Boston’s strong rental market and continued investor interest kept values stable. Condos and 2-3 family homes still moved quickly in desirable sub-neighborhoods.

  • 2024–early 2025: Softening YoY price changes (‐2.6%), rising inventory (+11.8% MoM)* Prices adjusted slightly in Q2 2025, with more inventory hitting the market. Buyers are gaining some leverage, but well-located or recently updated homes still receive multiple offers.


🔑 Tips for Buyers, Sellers & Investors

Buyers:

  • Prep early—get pre-approved and expect competition

  • Explore condos and townhomes to stay within budget

  • Watch for under-market offers if you’re flexible on move-in timing

Sellers:

  • Although prices adjust slightly, strong listings still sell fast

  • Consider staged photos and professional shots—each day counts

  • Highlight location benefits: transit, harbor views, parks

Investors:

  • East Boston rental market remains strong, especially in multi-family properties
