Agent Takeaway — August 2026

Still competitive, just no longer frantic

Jamaica Plain is still a seller's market — homes pend in a median of 9 days, nearly half of trailing-month sales (49.3%) closed over asking, and price per square foot is up 7.8% year-over-year to $622. But the edge has come off: Redfin's Compete Score fell from 87 to 72, average days on market widened to 26 from 20, and 47 homes closed last month against a much heavier spring. With 131 active listings and 63 new ones this month, buyers have more to compare, so the Centre St. and Emerald Necklace listings that show best are the ones still clearing quickly.

Methodology & sources

This page blends multiple public real estate data sources to give agents a fuller monthly picture than any single source alone. Figures refresh each month; exact numbers can vary slightly between providers due to differing sample windows and geographic boundaries.

  • Zillow Home Value Index (ZHVI) — typical home value, inventory, new listings, and list/sale pricing where available.
  • Redfin neighborhood market data — homes sold, price per square foot, days on market, Compete Score.
  • Massachusetts Association of Realtors (MAR) — Greater Boston condo and single-family medians.
  • Local brokerage & MLS-sourced context — supplementary price-per-square-foot detail where neighborhood-level Zillow/Redfin data is limited.
