Greater Boston home sales show wide price spread

A snapshot of Greater Boston listings as of July 1 shows a striking range in sale prices—from high-end, multi-million-dollar homes to several properties closing in the low hundreds of thousands across dozens of local communities.
The listings posted for Greater Boston home sales on July 1 read like a tour of the region’s housing reality: some buyers are paying millions, while others are looking at prices that land closer to the cost of a modest condo.
In Abington, for example, one property at 451 Lincoln St. sold for $875,000 and another at 42 Allen St. closed for $430,000. Further down the list, 17 Melvern Road in Abington sold for $595,000, while 720 Hancock St. went for $410,000.
Acton’s sales reflect the upper end, including 709 Main St., a one-family Colonial built in 2024 at 4,210 square feet, selling for $1,550,000. Two-family and condo transactions also appear: in Acton, 18 Bromfield Road sold for $1,160,000, and 18 Quail Run #18 sold for $718,500.
Andover’s numbers tilt even higher. led by 8 Fosters Pond Road. a one-family Colonial built in 2009 at 4. 708 square feet. selling for $1. 759. 000. Other Andover closings include 37 Crenshaw Lane #37. a condo town house built in 2017 for $1. 725. 000. and 1 Hawthorne Circle. a one-family ranch built in 1963. listed at $940. 100.
The price swing gets more dramatic as the list moves through Boston itself. In the city, 22 Liberty Drive #11D is shown at $5,600,000. Several high-rise and waterfront-area condo sales cluster in the multi-million range, including 240 Devonshire St. #4208 at $2,985,000; 370 380 Harrison Ave. #Ph2k at $2,975,000; and 500 Atlantic Ave. #15N, built in 2006, at $2,700,000.
Lower-priced Boston units still show up in the same batch. One example: 142 Kerrick St. #23 is listed at $288,000, and 16 Everett Ave Gc is listed at $285,000. In the middle of the spread, 19 Holyoke St. #1 is listed at $950,000, while 115 Salem St. #13 is listed at $555,985.
Even within suburban towns, the range can be stark. Arlington includes 220 Hillside Ave. a Tudor built in 1933 at $1. 035. 000. alongside a condo at 16 Arizona Terrace #4 listed at $322. 500 and 10 Lanark Road #1 listed at $713. 000. In Ashland, 222 Oak St., a one-family Colonial built in 2017 at 2,056 square feet, is listed at $950,000 while 72 Fruit St. in Arlington is not the same town, and the list shows multiple different communities moving at different price points.
Houses built in very recent years sit alongside older stock throughout the region. In Acton, 709 Main St. is built in 2024 and listed at $1,550,000. In Arlington, 68 Dothan St. is a one-family raised ranch built in 1987 listed at $1. 345. 000. while Boston includes units built as far back as 1875 and 1865—such as 92 Waltham St. #1A built in 1875 listed at $1,825,000, and 19 Holyoke St. #1 built in 1865 listed at $950,000.
Across communities. the listings also show a mix of property types: single-family homes. condo and condo-apt units. town houses. duplexes. and multi-family buildings. Arlington includes a three-family option at 54 Rawson Road listed as $850,000. Boston’s entries include multiple condos across neighborhoods, with 28-32 Atlantic Ave. #314 listed at $1,025,000 and 1180-1200 Washington St. #216 listed at $970,000.
The figures don’t just reflect different neighborhoods and property styles—they also reflect how buyers are meeting the region where it is. A buyer seeking a top-priced property in Boston may be looking at a listing like 22 Liberty Drive #11D at $5. 600. 000. while a buyer shopping in the same overall Greater Boston sweep could be considering a unit listed far below that ceiling. such as 142 Kerrick St. #23 at $288,000.
No single community dominates the list; instead, the spread appears again and again. In Burlington, 1 Briarwood Lane is listed at $1,252,500 alongside 17 Rahway Road at $650,000. In Brookline, 22 Worthington Road is listed at $10,000,000 while 44 Washington St. #44-712 is listed at $440,000.
The same pattern follows into other towns shown in the batch: in Newton, 75 Dalton Road is listed at $4,805,000 and 36 Roland St. is listed at $3,700,000, while elsewhere in Newton the list includes a condo at 7 Weld St. #29 built in 1968 at $260,000.
For renters and would-be buyers watching these closings. the underlying message is hard to miss even without a headline interpretation: Greater Boston is not moving on one economic rhythm. It’s moving on many—at once—depending on where you shop and what you can afford. with July 1’s listings capturing that reality in addresses. building ages. and final price tags.
