Estimated pricing by unit size, modeled from South End's current price-per-square-foot range ($1,100–$1,350/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 | $495,000 – $810,000 |
| 1 Bedroom | ~650–850 sq ft | $715,000 – $1,150,000 |
| 2 Bedroom | ~950–1,300 sq ft | $1,045,000 – $1,755,000 |
| 3+ Bedroom / Rowhouse | ~1,500–2,400 sq ft | $1,650,000 – $3,240,000 |
South End still carries the deepest inventory of Boston's historic neighborhoods — 227 active listings and 78 new ones, unchanged from last month's Zillow reading — and average days on market remain at 64 versus 49 a year ago. Typical home value is $1,087,830 (+1.1% YoY) while the median sale price of $1,950,000 reflects a run of large rowhouse and townhouse closings rather than the middle of the market. A 98.3% sale-to-list ratio and $/sqft up 7.5% year-over-year say sellers are still getting close to ask when the listing is prepared properly. Expect a patient, comparison-driven buyer here, not the speed of Back Bay or Beacon Hill.
