New 12-month analysis from Back Bay Brownstones, with commentary from Susana Murphy of Real.
BOSTON, MA, UNITED STATES, November 13, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Back Bay homes sold for 97.5% of their asking price from November 2025 through October 2026, pointing to a resilient environment for property owners. That is the finding of a new 12-month market analysis from Back Bay Brownstones, a free guide to selling and buying brownstones and condos in Back Bay. Susana Murphy of Real serves as the site’s recommended agent and notes that sellers who prepare their homes well continue to secure strong offers and maximize their returns.
The Back Bay median of $1.37 million is 61% higher than Boston, MA’s $852,000. The Back Bay median price fell 0.4%, while prices rose in Boston, MA (up 1.5%). This slight dip presents an opening for buyers to negotiate on prime properties, while sellers benefit from a balanced market holding 6.7 months of supply in the period ending October 2026. The consistent supply ensures that buyers have options to view, while well-priced homes still command attention.
“The prestige of the neighborhood keeps its premium strong,” said Murphy. “Inventory remains balanced, giving buyers excellent choices while sellers maintain their strong position.”
CONDOS AND CO-OPS HOLD THEIR VALUE
Condos and co-ops accounted for 92% of sales in the neighborhood over the year, driving the vast majority of local real estate activity. The median price for these homes reached $1.33 million. This segment held steady, up 0.0% from a year earlier, highlighting consistent value for property owners. The stability in condo pricing provides confidence for those planning a future move, as the core of the neighborhood’s housing stock retains its long-term appeal.
SELLERS SEE STRONG OFFERS
Homes in Back Bay sold in a median 41 days over the past 12 months. During this period, 18.5% of homes sold above the asking price, rewarding sellers who position their properties correctly. Buyers who act decisively are finding success, while sellers who understand the pace of the market can plan their transitions with certainty.
“Sellers should price accurately from the start to capture that strong momentum and attract offers over asking,” said Murphy, who has been named a Top Agent – Plymouth, MA.
WHAT IT MEANS FOR BACK BAY BROWNSTONE SELLERS
