"Reports suggest a Boston condo "bubble" is unlikely for 2025 or 2026, as forecasts point toward more balanced conditions and modest, rather than explosive, price growth. The Case-Shiller Condominium Price Index for Boston shows recent price movements have been relatively slight, with a modest annual increase of 1.96% as of August 2025. For 2026, home price growth is expected to remain in the single-digit percentage range."
"Inventory levels are expected to increase modestly, though they will likely remain below pre-2020 levels. This offers buyers more choices without flooding the market. Affordability: Despite more balanced conditions, high prices mean affordability will continue to be a challenge, particularly for low-to-moderate-income buyers. National trends: Experts have forecast a modest national price growth of 3.8% in 2025 and 3.6% in 2026, with stronger growth expected in New England compared to other regions."
The Boston condominium market is unlikely to form a bubble in late 2025 or 2026; price growth should be modest. The Case-Shiller index showed a 1.96% annual increase as of August 2025, indicating slight recent appreciation. Projections show single-digit home price growth in 2026 and national growth around 3.8% in 2025 and 3.6% in 2026. Inventory should rise modestly but stay below pre-2020 levels, providing more buyer choices without overwhelming supply. Mortgage rates are expected to ease in 2025 without returning to very low levels, so affordability will remain a challenge for many buyers.
