Massachusetts Home Buyer Guide

Increasingly, the Greater Boston condominium market may currently offer home buyers the most significant opportunities, with price growth slowing or stalled and competition easing in many communities.

The following post originally appeared in the Real Boston newsletter. 

The following Eastern Massachusetts cities and towns experienced declines in median condominium prices through the first nine months of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The data includes cities and towns in Bristol, Essex, Middlesex, Norfolk, Plymouth, and Suffolk counties.

These cities and towns, listed alphabetically, saw median condo prices decrease 2 percent or more, according to data compiled by The Warren Group. Cities or towns in bold have had double-digit declines.

In smaller towns, there may be fewer condominiums available, so price changes might not have a noticeable impact on prospective home buyers. Conversely, cities typically have more condos on the market, making pricing trends more significant and relevant for analysis.
