“From the first phone call Jill communicated competence. She clearly knows the home buying process inside and out and helped my wife and I understand every step of the process. She's helped us all through the process, sending us recommendations and coming to showings with us. She pointed out things about the houses we were looking at that I would not have noticed and helped us get better at looking critically at properties.”
“Len went above and beyond during the whole process of selling my mother's home. He was kind, considerate, compassionate and extremely helpful, during an especially stressful time. I would definitely recommend him without hesitation.”
“I can't thank John Dean enough for handing the sale of my home. John's knowledge of the industry and the area was exceptional. He kept me informed of all the issues and guided me with decisions that had to be made. He offered to make several trips to the house to meet and coordinate the inspections and other people that assisted me with the move. Not being available to make it to the property for various reasons being the distance and caring for a disabled husband, John saved me from having to be there. John was there to manage everything for me. If you need a professional agent, look no further than John Dean.”
“I interviewed several Realtors, and none of them asked the thoughtful questions that Katherine did to better understand my needs. She also demonstrated a deep knowledge of the Boston program I was using for financing, and her years of experience working in and around Boston was key. But more than anything else, we got along really well in our initial meeting and she had my full trust almost as soon as the process began.”
“He was honest enough to direct us away from one of the homes that we looked at because of the horrible basement there. He also showed us at least 5+ homes before we settled on the one we're living in now.”
“We can't say enough good things about our experience with Sarah. Throughout the buying process, we always felt that she understood our needs and put our best interest first. She was professional yet completely approachable, and she has given us many tips about our new neighborhood and the surrounding area. We would highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking to purchase a home in the Boston area.”
“Smita was brilliant and the best we could have hoped for - she was a dream to work with. I am very happy with her patience with me as a first time home buyer and she continues to support me post purchase. Smita came very strongly recommended from a trusted source, and we will recommend her to all our friends. Her knowledge of the Shrewsbury market is commendable - in fact all her predictions came true. She was perfect except only one thing - we personally think she could have helped better with the negotiation of another property (141 Worthington). But having said that, she landed us probably a better property.”
“I had been referred to Marc by a family friend. I could not have been happier. He was incredibly accommodating, understanding, patient and most importantly transparent throughout the process of the sale. I felt very reassured having him represent me through this whole process.”
“Chris saw me through the sale of my home, and stayed with me to help me find the perfect place in my chosen location. She was professional throughout, but at the same time I feel I’ve found a friend. I’m so grateful to Chris, Ralph and Laurie. Can’t thank them enough for having my best interests at heart.”
“We were matched up with Greg Maund who was an incredible broker and help us get the apartment of our dreams. ”
“I have worked with Mr. Jason Hargrove in the past buying and selling property's and he is a very knowledgeable person and a credit to he profession. He is a hard worker and will sell your property for the price that is fair to you and the buyer.”
“Scott was excellent and I highly recommend him. As a first time buyer, I had many questions and concerns, and he answered and alleviated all of them. We were on the same page from the start regarding strategy, and he deftly navigated through a couple unexpected and complicated situations after the initial offer had been accepted. I definitely plan on using Scott for any future real estate needs.”
“Kyle moore and kim arsenalt saved my llife. I Just had a son. Lost my mom. My paperwork wasnt great. these 2 put things together that i couldnt have emagined.hear i am now in a multi. Tenants ask how i want the rent paid. I look at them like they're crazy for 2 seconds and say "check or M.O.".IF YOU Feel like me. Those are the ones you want on your team. Then grab KATHY as the lawyer. Shes the best too”
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Dorchester real estate market, updated for December 2025. *
The typical home value in Dorchester is projected to be $692,750 for the month of November. October’s finalized data reported the typical value of a home in the neighborhood to be $688,500—down 3.97% over the previous 12 months. For comparison, city-level data pegged home values at $835,000 in Boston for the most recent reporting period. That number is expected to float around $852,500 in November.
Dorchester had 237 new listings and 128 listings that went under contract in October, decreasing the area’s total available inventory to 180—down 1.1% from the previous month. Inventory is projected to have further decreased in November.
The median listing price for homes in Dorchester grew 3.59% from September to October, bringing the current median listing price to $725,000. Based on projected data for November, listing prices may continue to grow.
The number of days that homes have been on the market prior to going under contract has been fairly steady year-over-year. In October 2025, the median time for a listed property to go pending was 23 days, compared to 20 days in October 2024. In recent months the median number of days from listed to pending appears to be steady. That trend is predicted to have carried through to this November.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
Dorchester offers residents a diverse, vibrant mix of parks, locally owned shops, cultural experiences, and strong community networks that support everyday life and a resilient sense of belonging.
Dorchester pairs historic triple-deckers with a dynamic everyday rhythm, where Dorchester Avenue dishes out Vietnamese pho, Caribbean staples, and fresh-roasted coffee before giving way to rooftop pints at Dorchester Brewing Company. Proximity to South Boston, Roxbury, and Quincy keeps weekend options wide open, while the MBTA Red Line from JFK/UMass, Savin Hill, Fields Corner, and Ashmont puts downtown within easy reach. Cultural heavyweights sit nearby too: the waterfront John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum and UMass Boston anchor the neighborhood’s eastern edge.
Green space is a daily habit here. Franklin Park’s woodlands and the Franklin Park Zoo invite morning runs and family afternoons, and the Neponset River corridor leads to the breezy lawns and play areas of Pope John Paul II Park Reservation. From sunrise along Malibu Beach to sunset atop Savin Hill Park, you’ll collect city views and salt air without leaving the neighborhood.
Families tap into Boston Public Schools, plus local charters and after-school programs, while college courses, galleries, and public talks at UMass Boston keep curiosity alive for every age. Housing spans classic three-families ripe for multi‑generational living and newly reimagined condos near transit, creating opportunities for first-time buyers and seasoned movers alike.
