Brighton's active inventory is the story this month: Zillow counts 190 homes for sale against 68 new listings, the deepest supply of any of the western Boston neighborhoods we track. Even so, homes are still going to pending in a median of 18 days, average days on market has tightened to 28.5, and Redfin's Compete Score has ticked up to 74. Pricing is soft at the margins — ZHVI is down 2.9% year-over-year to $670,529 and median $/sqft is down 2.9% to $626 — while the trailing three-month median sale price still reads $668,275. For sellers, that combination means the buyer pool is there but will not chase an aggressive list price.
