Source: Redfin neighborhood housing market data, as of May 2026. Mattapan has a small monthly sales sample (10 homes) and Redfin does not publish a full YoY trend chart for this neighborhood this month — treat month-to-month swings as directional. Zillow's neighborhood-level coverage here is limited to typical home value; sale price, $/sqft and days-on-market figures above are sourced from Redfin.

Agent Takeaway — August 2026

Boston's most affordable neighborhood, and its thinnest data

Mattapan is unchanged month over month on every figure our sources publish: a typical home value of $607K (down 1.1%), a trailing 3-month median sale price of $665K up 4.8% year-over-year, $326 per square foot and 29 average days on market. Zillow now counts just 25 homes for sale against 11 new listings, and Redfin recorded roughly 10 sales in the last month — a sample small enough that the -20.8% price-per-foot swing almost certainly reflects what sold, not what things are worth. The Compete Score sits at 64. Lean on individual comps here; the neighborhood averages carry very little signal.

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.
