Charlestown is still one of Boston's quicker submarkets — homes pend in a median of 8 days against only 86 active listings, and 44% of trailing-month sales closed over asking. But the pricing story has flipped: median price per square foot is now $793, down 2.9% year-over-year, and Redfin's Compete Score has eased from 89 to 81 as average days on market stretched to 26 from 22 a year ago. Sales volume is thinner too, at 46 closings versus 58 last year, so pricing to the current comps — not last spring's — matters more than it did in the spring.
