Estimated pricing by unit size, modeled from East Boston's current price-per-square-foot range ($650–$730/sqft). Use as a directional guide — confirm with active comps for a specific listing.
| Unit Type | Typical Size | Est. Price Range |
|---|---|---|
| Studio | ~450–600 sq ft | $292,500 – $438,000 |
| 1 Bedroom | ~650–850 sq ft | $422,500 – $620,500 |
| 2 Bedroom | ~950–1,300 sq ft | $617,500 – $949,000 |
| 3+ Bedroom / Triple-Decker | ~1,500–2,400 sq ft | $975,000 – $1,752,000 |
East Boston is holding its line: the median sale price is up 0.3% year-over-year to $670K and price per square foot is flat at $686, with 98 homes sold in May against 102 a year ago. Days on market sit at 35 versus 32 last year, and the Compete Score of 71 still reads very competitive. Active inventory is around 169 homes — the deepest supply in our southern-Boston coverage, and enough that buyers can afford to wait out an ambitious asking price. Neither side has momentum here, so pricing to the comps and photographing the water and transit access is what moves a listing.
