Brookline Real Estate Market Update: 7/15/2026-7/22/2026

This was a notably busy week across Brookline’s for-sale market, with 91 new listings hitting the MLS — a number that includes a healthy mix of high-end single families, condos at every price point, and a flood of rental activity. The standout sale of the week was 1265 Beacon Street #702, a 2-bed condo that closed at $1,410,000 — a striking 8.5% above its asking price — while three others sold at or above list as well, signaling that well-priced, well-presented properties continue to attract real competition. At the same time, 27 properties were taken off the market this week, including some with substantial price tags and long days on market, a reminder that overpriced listings are still struggling to find takers.

New on the Market

Eighteen new for-sale listings entered the market this week, spanning a wide range from a $4.495M single family to a $505K one-bedroom condo. The most notable debut is 108 Codman Rd, a 5-bed, 4.5-bath single family with 6,848 square feet listed at $4,495,000 — a rare offering at that scale in Brookline. Also worth watching is the penthouse at 324 Tappan #PH, a 4-bed, 3.5-bath condo at $2,495,000, and 80 Vernon #2B, priced at $3,549,000 for 2,125 square feet — a per-square-foot figure that will raise eyebrows. On the more accessible end, 1834 Beacon St #B1 offers a 2-bed, 1-bath at $545,000, and 38 Kilsyth Road #23 lists a 1-bed at $505,000. Note that 14 Green #101 appeared in the data without MLS details and is listed without a link. Those browsing homes for sale in Brookline MA will find the full inventory updated regularly.

New Rentals

The rental side of the market was exceptionally active this week, with roughly 22 new rental listings coming on — a strong surge that’s typical for midsummer as September leases begin lining up. The top of the rental market this week is 1574 Beacon #2, a 4-bed, 3-bath unit at $9,000/month, followed closely by 138 Sewall Ave #C at $7,600/month for 1,970 square feet. Multiple units at 201 Sherman Road also debuted across a range of configurations and price points, from $4,835 to $6,765 per month, reflecting continued leasing velocity at that building. Those considering moving to Brookline MA will find a notably broad selection of rentals right now.

Under Agreement

Seven for-sale properties went under agreement this week. The largest is 157 Cypress St #2, a 4-bed, 3.5-bath condo listed at $1,795,000 that found a buyer in just 8 days — a clear sign of strong demand at that price and configuration. On the other end of the speed spectrum, 1618 Beacon #A finally went under agreement after 126 days on market, and 77 Parkman Street #4 took 76 days to attract a buyer at $699,000. 8 Leverett St #4, listed at $1,325,000, also went under agreement after 85 days — a reminder that patience can pay off for sellers even in a competitive market. The 27 rental units that also went under agreement this week reflect the typical mid-July surge in lease signings.

Sold This Week

Fourteen for-sale properties closed this week, and the pricing results were a real mixed bag — in an instructive way. The most notable outcome: 1265 Beacon Street #702 sold for $1,410,000 against a $1,300,000 ask, a 8.5% premium that suggests the buyer pool at that price point is still competitive. 99 Crowninshield Rd #99 also achieved a significant premium — 6.6% over asking — for a one-bedroom at $852,000. Meanwhile, 30 Stearns Rd #PHB and 17 Summit Ave #2 both closed essentially at list price. On the other end, the land parcel at 150+152 Jordan Road sold at $2,950,000 — 9.2% below its $3,250,000 asking price after 105 days on market, and 66 Mason Terrace, a 5-bed single family with 6,205 square feet, closed at $3,875,000 against a $3,998,000 ask. The takeaway this week: precision pricing continues to matter enormously, particularly in the condo market where overpriced units are taking months to move while correctly priced ones generate multiple offers.

Taken Off the Market

Twenty-seven properties were taken off the market this week — 10 for-sale listings and 17 rentals. The headline figure among the sales withdrawals is striking: three single-family homes priced at $6.25M–$6.75M were all taken off the market, including 142 Crafts Road after 251 days on market at $6,750,000, 98 Carlton St after 90 days at $6,610,000, and 300 Warren St. after 83 days at $6,250,000. Taken together, these three withdrawals represent roughly $19.6M in luxury inventory that failed to find buyers — a data point that aligns with the broader softness visible in Brookline’s upper tier. 65 Francis #A, a 4-bed condo at $2,695,000, was also taken off the market after 182 days, and 18 Chestnut Pl #18 sat for 284 days before being removed at $1,175,000. For anyone following Brookline real estate news, this week’s withdrawals underscore the importance of pricing discipline, particularly above the $2M threshold.

Market Snapshot

Total active inventory across all property types stands at 552 listings. The figures below reflect the for-sale and rental markets as they stand heading into the week of July 22. Active Brookline MA homes for sale skew heavily toward the upper end, with single families averaging nearly $3.9M — though the presence of withdrawn luxury listings this week may eventually influence that figure downward in coming weeks.
