Brookline Real Estate Market Update: 7/22/2026-7/29/2026

It was a busy week across Brookline’s for-sale market, with a headline-grabbing $15.75 million multi-family listing at 10-24 University Rd. commanding attention alongside two significant multi-family buildings entering agreement at $36 million and $28 million respectively. On the sales side, competitive bidding remained alive and well in the condo segment — 8 Heathwood Ln #8 closed at a striking 117.5% of its asking price, a reminder that well-priced properties in Brookline continue to draw strong buyer interest even in midsummer. Meanwhile, 40 properties were taken off the market this week, including several high-end single-family listings that had been sitting for months — a dynamic worth watching as sellers recalibrate expectations heading into fall. That broader reset is even clearer in our Brookline Real Estate Market Report — July 2026.

New on the Market

Fifteen new for-sale listings hit the market this week, spanning a wide range of price points and property types. The most notable is the 10-24 University Rd. multi-family portfolio — 79 units across 35,512 square feet priced at $15.75 million — an institutional-scale asset rarely seen in Brookline. On the land side, 370 Washington Street came to market at $3.4 million, likely drawing interest from developers given its Washington Square-area location. Among condos, 40 Stedman Street #0 debuted at $3,948,000 for a 4-bed, 3.5-bath unit with nearly 3,000 square feet — one of the pricier condo entries of the summer. At the more accessible end, 1834 Beacon St #B1 offers a 2-bed, 1-bath at $545,000, and 12 James Street #B lists a 1-bed at $565,000. Two small parcels — 5 Kendall ($175,000) and 3 Kendall ($125,000) — also appeared as single-family listings, though with no beds, baths, or square footage on record, these appear to be lot or land opportunities rather than improved properties. Anyone actively browsing homes for sale in Brookline MA will find meaningful variety across this week’s new inventory.

New Rentals

Twenty-five new rental listings entered the market this week, spanning a wide range from a $3,490/month one-bedroom at 201 Sherman Road #711 to a $9,200/month five-bedroom house at 268 Mason Terrace. The 201 Sherman Road building continues to be a significant source of rental activity, with multiple units listing this week at prices ranging from $3,915 to $5,820/month. For families or groups needing more space, 36 Risley Rd offers 4 beds and 2.5 baths at $6,000/month, while 31 Harvard St. #2 lists a 4-bed at $5,250/month. Anyone considering moving to Brookline MA will find a notably active rental pipeline this week.

Under Agreement

Eighteen for-sale properties went under agreement this week — a notably active number for midsummer. The biggest news is commercial in scale: 77 Marion Street, a 45,935-square-foot multi-family listed at $36 million, and 1401 Beacon Street at $28 million both went under agreement after 49 days on market — suggesting motivated sellers and a buyer willing to move on a large portfolio. At the single-family end, 520 Clinton Road ($2,399,900, 4 beds, 2,996 sq ft) finally found a buyer after 111 days, while 2 Wildwood Dr — a 4-bed, 2,858-square-foot home priced at $699,900 — went under agreement after 68 days. Among the condos, 157 Cypress St #2 moved quickly at just 8 days on market at $1,795,000, a signal of continued demand in the mid-to-upper condo segment.

Sold This Week

Sixteen for-sale properties closed this week, with the condo segment producing the most striking results. 8 Heathwood Ln #8 stands out as the week’s most competitive sale — listed at $1,200,000 and closing at $1,410,000, a full 17.5% over asking after just 22 days. That wasn’t an isolated result: 1265 Beacon Street #702 also closed above list, at $1,410,000 against a $1,300,000 ask (108.5% of list). Other condos sold competitively above asking as well, including 99 Crowninshield Rd #99 at 106.6% and 89 Mason Terr #3 at 103%. On the other side of the ledger, 36 Osborne Rd #1 also closed above asking at $3,239,000 versus a $3,195,000 list price. The land sale at 150+152 Jordan Road closed at a notable discount — $2,950,000 on a $3,250,000 ask (90.8% of list) after 105 days — consistent with land transactions generally taking longer and settling below asking. The single-family sale this week, 54 Clark Road, a 7-bedroom, 4,544-square-foot home, closed at $2,325,000 versus a $2,399,999 ask. Overall, the majority of this week’s for-sale closings came in at or above list price — a healthy signal for Brookline real estate news watchers tracking demand patterns heading into late summer.

Taken Off the Market

Forty properties were taken off the market this week — 20 for-sale listings and 20 rentals — a notably high number that warrants attention. On the for-sale side, the pattern is concentrated at the high end of the single-family market: 145 Woodland Road ($8,999,000, 30 days), 342 Warren St ($7,775,000, 78 days), 142 Crafts Road ($6,750,000, a lengthy 251 days), and 15 Catlin Road ($5,500,000, 55 days) were all taken off the market. These are four substantial luxury single-family properties — collectively representing over $29 million in asking price — that were unable to find buyers. Whether sellers are regrouping for a fall relaunch or reconsidering their pricing strategies, the concentration of high-end withdrawals is a meaningful data point for the luxury segment. 65 Francis #A, a 4-bed condo listed at $2,695,000 for 182 days, was also taken off the market. On the rental side, 20 rentals were removed from active status, including 15 Cedar Rd at $14,000/month after 65 days — the rental market moves faster, and most of these likely reflect units that found tenants or were relisted at adjusted prices.
