Source: Redfin neighborhood housing market data, latest reported month (June 2026). Bay Village is Boston's smallest residential neighborhood (roughly three blocks between Back Bay, the South End and Chinatown) with only a handful of home sales per period — percentage changes above can swing widely and should be read directionally, not as a firm trend. Zillow now publishes a dedicated typical-home-value (ZHVI) figure for Bay Village, which is used for the headline value and active-inventory counts above.

Price By Home Size

Price by Home Size (Estimated)

Estimated pricing by unit size, modeled from Bay Village's current price-per-square-foot range ($1,020–$1,220/sqft). Use as a directional guide — confirm with active comps for a specific listing.

Unit TypeTypical SizeEst. Price Range
Studio~450–600 sq ft$460,000 – $730,000
1 Bedroom~650–850 sq ft$665,000 – $1,035,000
2 Bedroom~950–1,300 sq ft$970,000 – $1,585,000
3+ Bedroom / Rowhouse~1,500–2,400 sq ft$1,530,000 – $2,930,000
Modeled estimate: typical sq ft range × current $/sqft range ($1,020–$1,220). Bay Village's brick Victorian rowhouses and gas-lit streets are often compared to a smaller Beacon Hill — confirm with active comps for a specific unit given the very limited monthly sales volume.
Agent Takeaway — August 2026

Zillow now publishes a ZHVI for Bay Village, and it steadies the picture

For the first time this page carries a Zillow typical home value for Bay Village: $1.26M, down just 1.6% year-over-year — a far calmer read than the closed-sale figures, which swung to a $1.3M median (up 67.3%) on 3 sales, down from 8 a year ago. Price per square foot is essentially flat at $1,120 (+0.7%), and that is the number to anchor to. Homes went in 25 days versus 71 last year and the Compete Score holds at 68 (“Somewhat Competitive”), so demand for this pocket of brick bowfront rowhouses is real. With 23 active listings, agents should still price off specific comps here more than almost anywhere else in the city.

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.
