South Boston still carries the deepest active inventory of any nearby submarket — 316 listings and 112 new listings this month — but buyers are working through it more quickly than they were. Average days on market has come in to 35 from 48 last month, 146 homes closed in May, and Redfin's Compete Score jumped from 56 to 75, moving the neighborhood into “very competitive” territory. Price per square foot holds at $882, up 9.7% year-over-year, so sellers have room to price firmly if the listing shows well.
