Currently the average rent price in Brighton is $2,336. When compared to the previous year's data, rent prices have dropped by -2.79% in Brighton. This drop is mainly due to the drop in demand for off-campus housing near Boston College. Remote learning sent Brighton’s vacancy rate soaring last year, and its effect on pricing was inevitable. However, the prices have much been much more stable in Brighton than in Boston’s premier Downtown neighborhoods, where prices have dropped by -18.97% in Downtown Boston and -17.75% in Seaport.The Real-Time Availability rate of apartments in Brighton is now 5.11% and this rate has dropped by -37.76% since August 2020.  The Real-Time Vacancy rate is 1.20% currently. Comparing it with the data of the previous year, this rate has dropped by -25.47%. The ... 08/31/2021

Cash Buyers Assume They Can Pay Less?  Never Assume Cash buyers have been making many condo sellers in Brighton and Brookline very happy these days.  In general, they have an upper hand because they can waive the financing contingnecy, and they save everyone a lot of work and stress around obtaining financing. With a cash buyer, the transaction is perceived as easier and less risky. In turn, cash buyers and their agents assume they can make lower offers since their terms are so much better. This assumption is flawed.  Although cash buyers offer an incentive to the seller with lower risk, offering a lower price doesn't always work.  What cash buyers often forget is that many home sellers need to squeeze every penny out of the sale - thy are also buyers, in a tough market. Furthermore, so... 04/18/2014

Brighton Condo Market Update - Q1 2013 Brighton has always been a popular area for fist time buyers or parents looking to buy a condo for their child as they attend college or grad school (a.k.a. - kiddie condo). Just ran some comparative numbers for the first quarter of 2007, 2012 and 2013. Prices are rebounding for both the general condo market as well as the one bedroom condo market. The low owner-occupancy of some of these buildings (most loan programs require at least 51% owner occupancy and no large block of units owned by one investor) inhibit some sales but with investors looking to harvest some capital gains from their investment property portfolio, I am seeing the owner occupancy ratios starting to creep up a bit. The charts below show trends for both the Brighton condo market... 04/19/2013

By Mike Mahoney of Remax in Boston @ http://www.HomesinBostonMass.com I just wanted to take a moment to review the condo market in Brighton for the last three months. The story is pretty compelling. If you are a buyer, you really need to get a great real estate negotiator on your side since the sellers are getting very close to their asking prices on their condo sales.  There is only a three month supply of condos on the market now in Brighton. This is a sigh of a sellers market.    There are currently 50 condos for sale in Brighton. These condos have been on the market an average of 48 days.   This report was representative of the Brighton zip code 02135. Please review all of the condos on the market in Brighton at http://www.homesinbostonmass.com/community/area/brighton   See more Bos... 04/04/2013

A Brighton MA home buyer should receive a brochure, Home Inspectors Facts for Consumers Sheet, at the time of the signing of the first written contract to purchase. A standard home inspection in Massachusetts is a visual examination of the physical structure and major interior systems of a residential building consisting of one to four dwelling units. It should be understood that there are certain risks inherent in the purchase of property and a home inspection is inherently limited in its scope and depth. The information gained from home inspection conforming to the Massachusetts Home Inspector Standards of Practice may reduce some of those risks, but the home inspection is not intended to provide the client with protection from all of the risks involved.

Brighton MA Foreclosures, Short Sales and Bank Owned Real Estate for Sale Purchasing a home at a Brighton MA foreclosures auction has many risks to a potential buyer and in most cases the bank will bid and take possession of the property at auction. The property is then referred to as bank owned, REO (real estate owned) or foreclosed property. To search the MA MLS listings visit Brighton MA MLS listings. A home owner may attempt a "short sale" whereby the bank agrees to accept less than the mortgage balance based on the owner's hardship and financial status. Obtaining approval can be a long and difficult process. Additionally, there is no assurance that the lender will accept an offer at or above the listed price. Bank-owned and short sale listings are often marketed with a real estate ... 04/11/2010

In an effort to be knowledgeable of our current market, I weekly pull the market statistics in Watertown, Belmont, Arlington, Newton, Waltham, and Brighton. Below are the market statistics in Brighton, Massachusetts for Single Families, Condominiums and Multi-Families. I will be posting Brighton, MA market statistics weekly on Wednesdays. [Note: I have changed a few things to the statistics layout, due to requests. I have added the Median Sales Prices from 2008 and 2007 to the chart, along with the overall appreciation or depreciation between the two. In addition, I have changed the "shading" of blocks to reflect positive change (yellow) and negative change (light red). These changes will hopefully help to better read the chart and follow my comments.] My last Brighton Market Statistics... 12/11/2008

Below are the market statistics in Brighton, Massachusetts for Single Families, Condominiums and Multi-Families. I will be posting Brighton, MA market statistics weekly on Wednesdays. Not too much has changed since last week's Know Your Market: Brighton Market Stats but I wanted to touch on a few important aspects of the market. First, in single family homes the inventory has increased to 10 active single families on the market. The good aspect of this is that the average list price has dropped by $38,184 from $605,114 last week to $566,930. Seemingly, sellers are starting to adjust their prices to reflect the current market which i... 11/20/2008

In an effort to be knowledgeable of our current market, I weekly pull the market statistics in Watertown, Belmont, Arlington, Newton, Waltham, and Brighton. Below are the market statistics in Brighton, Massachusetts for Single Families, Condominiums and Multi-Families. I will be posting Brighton, MA market statistics weekly on Wednesdays. Looking at these stats, it would seem as though the market has slowed in Brighton. Inventory is down in all three categories and the average sale price is down in all three categories as well. However, that would not tell the entire story. Although the average sale price is down, the median sale price is actually up in two out of the three housing sectors. For single family homes, the median sale price has risen from $465,000 in 2007 to $477,750 in 200... 11/12/2008
