It was a notably active week across Brookline MA homes for sale, with 96 new listings hitting the market and 23 sales closing — including a standout performance at 8 Beresford Road, which closed at $3,800,000, a remarkable $175,000 above its asking price. Meanwhile, the under-agreement pool remained deep at 41 properties (including rentals), suggesting continued buyer urgency heading into the late-spring market. One pattern worth noting: a significant chunk of the off-market activity this week was concentrated in the rental segment, with 12 of 18 withdrawn or lapsed listings being rentals — a sign that some landlords may be recalibrating expectations as the peak leasing season approaches.

New on the Market

Thirty-six for-sale properties came to market this week, spanning a broad price range from $500,000 to nearly $5 million. The week’s headline listing is 9 Singletree Rd, a 3-bed, 4.5-bath single family offering 6,790 square feet listed at $4,998,500 — and notably, an earlier version of this same property had been taken off the market after 63 days at $5,199,000, suggesting a meaningful price recalibration before this fresh launch. Close behind is 68 Dudley Street, a 5-bed, 4.5-bath home with 5,234 sq ft listed at $4,650,000. In the condo segment, 71 Green Street #2 stands out at $3,850,000 for 2,575 sq ft — a premium price that reflects the level of finish expected in this part of Brookline. For buyers seeking value in larger condos, 91 University Rd #2 offers 4 beds and 3,498 sq ft at $2,800,000. At the more accessible end, 50 Longwood Ave #311 and 44 Washington St #1103 came in at $599,999 and $500,000, respectively, offering entry-level footholds in the market. A land parcel at 1148 Boylston listed at $1,998,000 also drew attention this week.

Under Agreement

Twenty-three for-sale properties went under agreement this week — a strong number that reinforces the urgency visible in the sales data. The week’s most notable pending is 95 Babcock St, a 5-bed, 4.5-bath single family at $3,699,000 that went under contract in just 5 days on market — a sign that well-priced, well-presented homes are finding buyers immediately. At 110 Wallis Rd., a 5-bed, 5-bath home listed at $2,199,000 went pending in 10 days. There were also some longer-sitting properties finally finding agreement: 58 Kent #U301 at $1,738,000 had been on the market 67 days before going under contract, while 1731 Beacon St #114 ($1,290,000) sat 66 days. The freshly-listed 255 Walnut St #B went under agreement in just 6 days, same week it was listed.

Sold This Week

Twenty-three for-sale properties closed this week, and the results across all price points paint a picture of a healthy, competitive market. The single-family segment led with the highest-profile results: 8 Beresford Road closed at $3,800,000 — $175,000 over its $3,625,000 asking price (104.8%) in just 10 days, the kind of result that sets the tone for the week. 50 Waverly Street also sold above asking, closing at $2,445,000 against a $2,395,000 list price. On the other end of the spectrum, 43 Druce Street — a 5-bed home that sat 70 days — closed at $3,285,000, a notable 6.1% below its $3,500,000 ask, illustrating that buyers have less patience for overpriced properties even in the upper tier. In the condo segment, 81 Harvard Ave #3 sold for $1,209,500 (102.9% of ask) and 60 Glen Rd #108 closed at $900,000 — $21,000 over ask after sitting 54 days, suggesting demand caught up with this one. The most lingering sale was 60 Longwood Ave #802, which spent 266 days on market before closing at $620,000, a 4.5% haircut from its $649,000 ask. Overall, the majority of condos closed at or near list price, with a handful pushing meaningfully above.
