Modeled estimate: typical sq ft range × current $/sqft range ($580–$660), rounded to the nearest $5,000. Not sold comps. Allston's dense mix of triple-deckers, small condo conversions and student-oriented rentals near BU, Harvard and the Packard's Corner Green Line stop keeps unit sizes on the smaller end — confirm with active comps for a specific listing.
Agent Takeaway — August 2026

A holding pattern — and a ZHVI/sale-price gap that has not closed

Allston's numbers barely moved this month: Zillow's typical home value is unchanged at $781,010, up 4.5% year-over-year, while Redfin's trailing three-month median sale price still reads $634,786, down 4.2%. Price per square foot holds at $620 (up 2.1%), volume held flat at 30 sales in May, and days on market sits at 29 against 27 a year ago. That gap between ZHVI and closed sales is a mix effect — Allston trades a lot of small student-adjacent condos — and it is worth explaining to a seller before they anchor on the Zestimate. Against Greater Boston's $657,750 condo median, Allston is now priced right at the regional midpoint.

Methodology & sources

This page blends multiple public real estate data sources to give agents a fuller monthly picture than any single source alone. Figures refresh each month; exact numbers can vary slightly between providers due to differing sample windows and geographic boundaries.

  • Zillow Home Value Index (ZHVI) — typical home value, inventory, new listings, and list/sale pricing where available.
  • Redfin neighborhood market data — homes sold, price per square foot, days on market, Compete Score.
  • Massachusetts Association of Realtors (MAR) — Greater Boston condo and single-family medians.
  • Local brokerage & MLS-sourced context — supplementary price-per-square-foot detail where neighborhood-level Zillow/Redfin data is limited.
