Zillow's neighborhood-level coverage here is limited to typical home value and active inventory; sale price, $/sqft and days-on-market figures above are sourced from Redfin.

Price By Home Size

Price by Home Size (Estimated)

Estimated pricing by unit size, modeled from Mission Hill's current price-per-square-foot range ($650–$900/sqft). Use as a directional guide — confirm with active comps for a specific listing.

Unit TypeTypical SizeEst. Price Range
Studio~400–550 sq ft$260,000 – $495,000
1 Bedroom~600–800 sq ft$390,000 – $720,000
2 Bedroom~850–1,150 sq ft$550,000 – $1,035,000
3+ Bedroom~1,300–1,900 sq ft$845,000 – $1,710,000
Modeled estimate: typical sq ft range × current $/sqft range ($650–$900), rounded to the nearest $5,000. Not sold comps. Mission Hill's small-condo, student- and medical-staff-driven market means the median sale price ($575K) sits well below the neighborhood's ZHVI ($911K) — the gap reflects a sales mix skewed toward smaller units against a ZHVI that captures the full range of home sizes. For a live cross-check, Mission Hill's June 2026 active listings carried a median asking price of about $750,000 and roughly $693/sqft. Confirm with active comps for a specific listing.
Agent Takeaway — August 2026

The thinnest market we track — and the widest gap between value and price

Nothing moved in Mission Hill this month: Zillow still shows a typical home value of $910,680, up 9.7% year-over-year, against a Redfin trailing median sale price of $574,807 on eight May closings. Active listings held at 13, days on market at 52, and the Compete Score at 67 (“Somewhat Competitive”). Asking prices tell the same story from the other side — June listings ran a median $750,000 and about $693/sqft, between the two. With volume this thin and Greater Boston's condo median at $657,750, price a Mission Hill listing off unit-level comps, not the neighborhood average.

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.
