"Condo Price Index: The Federal Reserve reported the Boston-Cambridge-Newton Condo Price Index at 332.44 in September 2025 (Jan 2000 = 100). This is slightly down from its record high of 336.88 reached in May 2025. Days to Pending: The average time for a Boston condo to go pending is approximately 30 days. Specific neighborhoods vary, with 02132 (West Roxbury) going pending in as little as 14 days and 02116 (Back Bay/South End) taking roughly 55 days."
"National vs. Local Performance: While national pending sales indices have seen declines due to limited inventory and high interest rates, the Northeast region (including Boston) frequently manages to buck these trends, recently showing a 2% increase in contract signings while other regions fell. Inventory Strain: The number of condos going under agreement is restricted by low supply. Building permits in Greater Boston have dropped 67% since 2021, creating a long-term bottleneck for future inventory."
"Beacon Hill: Currently maintains a supply level that exerts upward pressure on prices because while sales activity has lessened, the volume of available condos is even lower. Back Bay: Real-time reports track condos going "Under Agreement" in rolling 30-day periods, reflecting consistent but cautious buyer activity through November 2025. Market Status: Boston remains a seller's market as of late 2025, with a sale-to-list price ratio of approximately 98%."
