Inventory in Boston’s North End has expanded, with 56 homes on the market in February and a 19.15% month-over-month increase that also puts supply 5.66% higher than a year ago. Even with more options, contract activity has cooled, as 30 pending sales represent a 21.05% year-over-year decline while new listings dropped 34.29% to 46.
Pricing is pushing upward despite the slower contract flow, with the typical home value at about $970,000 after a 16.59% jump over the past year and a 17.75% monthly gain. Sellers are still negotiating, shown by an average sale-to-list ratio of 0.97 and only about 17.86% of homes closing above list price.
Time on market helps round out the picture, holding steady month over month at 45.5 days but running 15.74% faster than last year, which aligns with the area’s designation as a Seller’s Market at a gauge of 19. Compared with Boston overall, where typical values are closer to $810,000 and are projected around $802,875, the North End is both higher-priced and projected to grow toward a typical value near $1,043,125 and a median list price around $1,638,250 with inventory edging up to 60.
