The Burlington, Massachusetts, real estate market saw a shift in pricing dynamics and inventory levels for single-family homes in February, while the condominium sector remained quiet.
Data from the Massachusetts Association of Realtors indicated that single-family sales activity increased despite declines in median prices and available inventory.
Burlington Single Family Homes (February 2026)
Median Sales Price: $859,944, down 8 percent from $935,000 in February 2025
Closed Sales: 6, up 20 percent from 5 the previous February.
Inventory of Homes for Sale: 15, down from 19, a 21 percent decline.
Months Supply of Inventory: 1.2 months of supply, a 20 percent decrease from 1.5 in February 2025.
Percent of Original List Price Received: 93 percent, on average, down from nearly 105 percent in February 2025, indicating that sellers had less leverage and properties often sold for less than the initial asking price.
Burlington Single Family Homes (January through February)
Median Sales Price: $808,500, down from $930,000, a 13 percent decrease from the same 2-month period in 2025
Closed Sales: 14, a 16.7 percent increase from 12.
Percent of Original List Price Received: 98 percent, down from 103 percent during January through February in 2025.
Burlington Condominium Properties (February 2026)
Median Sales Price: No condos were sold in either February 2026 or February 2025.
Closed Sales: Zero sales in February 2026 and February 2025.
Inventory of Homes for Sale: Three, up 200 percent from one unit in February 2025.
Months Supply of Inventory: 1.3 months of supply, up 160 percent from 0.5 months in February 2025.
Percent of Original List Price Received: No change because no condos were sold in either February 2026 or February 2025.
Burlington Condominium Properties (January through February)
Median Sales Price: $805,000, up 38.0 percent from $583,250 during the same 2-month period in 2025.
Closed Sales: Only one sale, a 75-percent drop from four units during the first two months last year.
Percent of Original List Price Received: 97 percent, down from 103 percent.
Bottom Line: The decline in the percentage of original list price received for houses suggests that the Burlington market was more negotiable for home buyers at the end of last year and the beginning of 2026 than it was a year ago. Despite apparent relief for home buyers, tight inventory will give sellers pricing power and create competition as we move into the busier spring market. Condo sales were insignificant.
Pro Tip: Market conditions can vary significantly across property types and municipalities. Home buyers need a loyal buyer agent to evaluate fair market value before making an offer.
