For the first 11 days of May 2026, Boston condo pricing is trending toward stabilization with a slight decline in transaction volume versus the same period in 2025. Broader metro Boston data for the spring 30-day window shows a 6.6% decrease in closing volume year-over-year. Luxury condos, especially historic brownstones in Back Bay and Beacon Hill priced above $2M, are experiencing price corrections, with some units selling 5% to 21% under list price and remaining on the market for 200+ days. Properly priced mid-market condos in the $800k to $1.5M range, particularly in Cambridge and certain Dorchester and South Boston conversions, are still moving quickly, often going under agreement within the first week. Hyde Park shows a 61.5% jump in closing volume as buyers seek lower-cost alternatives. New condo listings across Massachusetts rose 17.2% year-over-year as of March 2026.
