Brookline's active inventory climbed to 239 listings with 95 new listings hitting the market in June — the most supply agents have had to work with in this cycle. Even so, homes are still pending in a median of 16 days and the Compete Score sits at 82, so demand has not gone away; buyers just have more to choose from. Zillow's typical home value ($1.11M, -4.9% YoY) still sits well below the $1.40M median sale price, which reflects a closed-sale mix skewed toward larger single-family and multi-unit properties against a ZHVI that smooths across Brookline's condo-heavy stock. Median price per square foot at $779 is up 8.9% year-over-year, so per-foot pricing is holding even as headline values drift.
