Brookline Real Estate Market Update: 5/6/2026-5/13/2026

It was a high-volume week across the board for Brookline MA homes for sale, with 40 new sale listings hitting the market — including a remarkable cluster of properties priced above $3 million — while the sales side showed strong above-asking momentum, with the majority of closed transactions finishing over their list prices. Particularly eye-catching: 17 Coolidge St closed at nearly 109% of its asking price, and 8 Beresford Road sold for $175,000 above list. The rental market was equally active, with 14 rentals going under agreement and another 18 renting out this week.

New on the Market

Forty new for-sale listings entered the market this week, spanning a wide price range from $625,000 to $7,775,000. The headline property is 342 Warren St, a 4-bed, 4-bath single family spanning 5,352 sq ft, listed at $7,775,000 — a commanding entry at the top of the market. Interestingly, the same address also appeared as a land listing at the same price, suggesting a possible development scenario alongside the existing structure. Close behind, 19 Linden Street came to market as a multi-family at $5,950,000 with 6 beds across 4,253 sq ft. On the single-family side, 50 Sumner Road ($4,800,000, 5 beds / 5.5 baths, 5,423 sq ft) and 68 Dudley Street ($4,650,000, 5 beds / 4.5 baths, 5,234 sq ft) are substantial homes appealing to buyers seeking space without compromise.

The condo segment saw notable new entries as well. 135 Saint Paul #5 is priced at $3,750,000 for a 3-bed, 3.5-bath unit at 2,071 sq ft — a premium per-square-foot play in a boutique building. Meanwhile, the new 80 Vernon #Unit 2B ($3,695,000) and 80 Vernon #Unit PHB ($3,274,000) suggest a new development or significant condo conversion at that address. At the more accessible end, 65 Glen Rd #H1 at $799,000 (2 bed / 2 bath, 949 sq ft) and 60 Longwood Ave #408 at $625,000 (1 bed / 1.5 bath) represent the most affordable new entries this week.

New Rentals

The rental data this week is embedded within the under-agreement and sold figures rather than a distinct new-listing feed, but the activity level is evident — 14 rentals went under agreement and 18 leased outright. The units that went under agreement ranged from a 5-bed home at 28 Wolcott Rd asking $9,000/month to a 2-bed at 66 Winchester St #502 at $4,200/month, reflecting the broad range of rental options across town.

Under Agreement

Sixteen for-sale properties went under agreement this week, a solid number that cuts across price points. At the top, 36 Naples Rd — a 6-bed, 6.5-bath, 6,000 sq ft single family priced at $4,200,000 — found a buyer after 29 days. 43 Waverly Street ($3,500,000) went under agreement after 48 days, and 17 Glenland ($3,495,000, 5,798 sq ft) took just 22 days to find a buyer. One notable outlier: 11 Goodwin Place #Unit 11-1, a 4-bed condo priced at $2,688,000, went under agreement after a lengthy 123 days — a reminder that even well-priced properties can take time to find the right fit. On the more affordable end, 22 Chestnut Pl #M3 at $399,900 (1 bed / 1 bath, 480 sq ft) went under agreement in 42 days, representing the lowest-priced sale transaction of the week.

Sold This Week

Eleven for-sale properties closed this week, and the results lean decisively toward sellers. Eight of the eleven transactions — including every single-family home that sold — closed above asking price. The standout performance belongs to 17 Coolidge St, a 6-bed single family that sold for $3,261,000 against a $2,995,000 list price — a 108.9% sale-to-list ratio and $266,000 over asking. 8 Beresford Road also impressed, closing at $3,800,000 on a $3,625,000 ask (104.8%), while 3 Norway — a 4-bed single family at the accessible end — sold for $850,000, well above its $799,900 list price (106.3%).

Two transactions came in below asking. 116 Thorndike St #2B, a 4-bed condo, closed at $2,550,000 versus its $2,699,000 list (94.5%), and 9 Downing Road — a sprawling 8-bed, 5-bath single family at 5,803 sq ft — ultimately sold for $2,480,000 against a $2,850,000 ask (87.0%) after 223 days on market. That kind of result, particularly with the extended market time, signals that larger, more complex properties can face pricing headwinds even in an otherwise active market.

Taken Off the Market

Twenty-one listings were taken off the market this week, though the vast majority — 18 of them — were rentals. On the for-sale side, three properties were removed: 520 Clinton Road, a 4-bed single family priced at $2,499,000 that had been active for 55 days; 1874 Beacon St #3, a 2-bed condo at $839,000 after 92 days; and 1368 Beacon St #112, a small 238 sq ft unit listed at $225,000 with no days on market recorded. The rental removals included a wide range of units from a 7-bed home at 89 University Road (asking $15,000/month, 153 days) down to a 1-bed at 83 Pleasant St #B at $2,800/month.

Market Snapshot

Active inventory across all property types stands at 486 listings. The single-family and condo segments each show healthy supply relative to the pace of deal flow observed this week, while the multi-family and land segments remain quite limited — 12 and 6 active listings respectively. Rentals continue to dominate the raw count at 259 active units, with an average asking rent of $4,513/month and a notably brisk median days on market of just 4 days — a clear indicator of persistent rental demand.
