02108 Market Pulse: Strong Buyer Advantage
Demand is softer relative to supply and buyers have the most room to compare, negotiate, and wait for the right fit.
Pending ratio: 25%. About 2-3 out of every 10 homes for sale are finding a buyer — a buyer's market. Most homes are still waiting for a buyer. Expect it to take longer and price to stand out. Homes that sold took about 96 days to sell, which is so-so.

Local market questions
02108 housing market FAQs
Is 02108 a buyer’s market or seller’s market?
ZIP 02108 doesn't have a confirmed ZIP-level Market Pulse in this report yet. As more local data comes in, we'll be able to call the balance between buyers and sellers here.
How does 02108 compare with Boston overall?
Boston overall reads 33 (buyer advantage) as of 2026-10-18, but we don't have a confirmed reading for ZIP 02108 to compare yet. The city score is broader context, not a substitute for the ZIP.
Does the 02108 Market Pulse tell me what my home is worth?
No. The Pulse describes negotiating conditions across ZIP 02108 — not what a particular home is worth. A real pricing review needs recent comparable sales, current competing listings, and your home's condition and features.
How recent is the 02108 market reading?
There's no confirmed ZIP-level reading date in this report yet. RealSights takes new snapshots every Sunday, and any city reading shown has its own date.
What should buyers watch in 02108?
Keep an eye on available inventory, pending activity, days on market, and price reductions — and compare nearby ZIP reports. Homes sitting longer may offer more flexibility, but protect your inspection, appraisal, and financing terms. A market score never guarantees a discount.
What should sellers watch in 02108?
Price against current nearby competition and recent closed sales, and watch how quickly homes go under contract. The Boston report adds broader context, but it's not a home valuation.
