"The 2026 Charlestown condo market is characterized by a "high-velocity" start to the year, with mid-market units going under agreement rapidly. As of February 2026, the market is shifting from a state of "buyer confusion" in 2025 toward a "great thaw," where buyers have accepted mortgage rates in the 6% to 7% range as the new normal. While inventory is increasing modestly, highly desirable, well-priced homes continue to sell quickly, often in under 20 days."
"Median Sale Price: Approximately $1,000,000, reflecting a 5.3% increase year-over-year. Median List Price: $988,993 as of late January 2026. Days on Market: Homes are selling in an average of 25 days, down from 27 days in 2025. Inventory: There were 34 active listings and 7 new listings recorded at the end of January 2026. Sale-to-List Ratio: Approximately 99.2%, indicating that most homes are selling very close to their asking price."
