While exact total figures for the first two weeks of January 2026 are not explicitly aggregated in real-time public reports, recent market data indicates a high velocity start to the year with several notable listings and sales.

Key activity for the first two weeks of 2026 includes:

Market Momentum: Individual agents report a “strong start” to 2026, with some seeing as many as 5 properties (including multifamily units) go under agreement in the Dorchester area alone within the first week.
Recent Sales Velocity: Properties that went “Pending” or “Under Agreement” in early January reached the closing stage by mid-month. On January 13 and 14, 2026, at least 6 condo units across neighborhoods like the North End, Brighton, and Roslindale officially closed.
Neighborhood Highlights:
- South Boston (02127): Multiple new-construction, high-end condos (e.g., 2-bedroom units with deeded parking) are currently listed as “Pending” as of mid-January.
- South End: At least 2 units at a new luxury renovation on Concord Square are already listed as “Under Agreement” for the 2026 season.
Market Context: Boston entered 2026 as one of the “hottest” housing markets in the U.S., with listings typically going to pending status in approximately 30 to 46 days on average.
