Market reports

Sale prices, days on market and sales above asking for Boston and the neighborhoods we serve, from MLS PIN records.

How these reports work

Each report covers residential sales recorded in MLS PIN, the multiple listing service for Massachusetts. Boston gets a monthly report. Jamaica Plain, Roslindale, Dorchester, Hyde Park, Roxbury and Mattapan report on three months at a time, compared with the same months a year earlier. When a neighborhood has fewer than 30 sales in either period, its report doesn't compare the two medians, because too few sales can move a median on their own.

Sales are counted by closing date. Each neighborhood is the area MLS PIN files a listing under; listings with no MLS area are counted by ZIP code. Every figure is computed from the individual sales, and each report keeps the data it was written from.
