Agent Takeaway — August 2026

A historic, low-inventory market holding flat

Beacon Hill did not move this cycle — Zillow's June reading is unchanged at $1,086,818 typical value (+0.2% YoY), 107 homes for sale and 33 new listings, so the neighborhood is holding rather than turning. Median sale price sits north of $1.27M, up 8.4% year-over-year, and per-square-foot pricing near $1,410 keeps it among the city's most expensive. Homes are taking roughly 34 days, and a Compete Score of 52 means competition is real but more measured than in Back Bay. With inventory this thin, presentation is what separates the listings that get offers from the ones that sit.

  • Redfin neighborhood market data — homes sold, price per square foot, days on market, Compete Score.
  • Local brokerage & MLS-sourced context — supplementary price-per-square-foot detail where neighborhood-level Zillow/Redfin data is limited.
