Boston Multi-Family Aug 25

In Boston, multi-family properties spend 70 days on market on average and the absorption ratio sits near 2.25, signaling a moderate pace of turnover. Properties still sell relatively quickly for a major city, but inventory is limited enough to keep competition strong. Investors should account for modest holding periods during marketing and recognize that well-located assets may attract multiple offers. Understanding DOM and absorption helps to time acquisitions and dispositions around the city’s cyclical demand peaks.
