Yet, for the time being, the city\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.noradarealestate.com\/blog\/boston-real-estate-market\/\">real estate market<\/a>\u00a0seems to be on the road to recovery. And, just as there is no surefire way to predict the progression of the pandemic, there\u2019s also no way to anticipate the progression of home prices in the next decade. However, a precedent \u2014 such as the city\u2019s median home sale price growth in the decade since 2009 \u2014 <span class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">could help determine what prices might be in 2030.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With\u00a0this in mind, we looked into home price growth in the decade between 2009 and 2019. During this timeframe, Boston\u2019s median home sale price rose to $625,000 in 2019 \u2014 up 66% from 2009. Notably, this significant increase strongly outpaced\u00a0the nation\u2019s 19% overall growth rate of home prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, to further gauge the progression of prices, we also analyzed home price evolution from 2009 to 2019 in all Boston neighborhoods. In particular, we reviewed all residential sales across the following property types: single-family homes, two-family homes and condominium units. In doing so, we found that home price growth in all Boston neighborhoods had outpaced inflation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, we used the same price growth from the past decade to estimate the <em>potential<\/em> long-term home price growth by 2030. Specifically, we started with the median home sale price in 2019 and used the same rate of price growth per neighborhood to see what Boston\u2019s residential prices could be at the beginning of 2030. In doing so, we discovered that if prices for the city as a whole continued to grow at the same rate as they did in the past decade, they could rise to a $1,039,000 median by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, because we used the same growth rate for the next decade as was experienced during the 2009 through 2019 period, we did <em>not<\/em> assume that the pandemic would lower prices. Rather, we were looking to see what could happen if prices continued to grow in the same manner. We also based this on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ceicdata.com\/en\/blog\/chinas-real-estate-investment-remains-resilient\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">roughly 6% growth<\/a> that China\u2019s resilient real estate market has experienced in 2020.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>10 Years Later: Home Prices Double in East Boston, Roxbury & Mattapan\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Each neighborhood in our study experienced double-digit price expansion so dramatic that, in more than half of the neighborhoods, the increase was 50% or more. In fact, three neighborhoods \u2014 East Boston, Roxbury and Mattapan \u2014 more than doubled their growth in terms of their prices, and Dorchester wasn\u2019t far behind.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Specifically,\u00a0East Boston\u00a0\u2014 home to Logan International Airport \u2014 led the way with a 120% increase since 2009. Contributing to its spike is the neighborhood\u2019s proximity to downtown and a\u00a0real estate renaissance\u00a0with luxury developments in the area.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"801\" height=\"501\" src=\"https:\/\/www.propertyshark.com\/Real-Estate-Reports\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/98\/2020\/03\/Boston-neighb-price-doubled.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-37542\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.propertyshark.com\/Real-Estate-Reports\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/98\/2020\/03\/Boston-neighb-price-doubled.png 801w, https:\/\/www.propertyshark.com\/Real-Estate-Reports\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/98\/2020\/03\/Boston-neighb-price-doubled.png?resize=300,188 300w, https:\/\/www.propertyshark.com\/Real-Estate-Reports\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/98\/2020\/03\/Boston-neighb-price-doubled.png?resize=768,480 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 801px) 100vw, 801px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Roxbury\u00a0had the second-largest price growth, with prices here skyrocketing 115% to a $499,000 median in 2019. The third-largest price expansion was in Mattapan, which experienced a 110% change in 10 years to bring it up to a $438,000 median in 2019. Mattapan was actually the least-expensive neighborhood in 2009 and, despite having the third-largest price expansion in the last decade, it still remains the least expensive neighborhood on our list.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, coming in with a 99% price increase in the last decade is Boston\u2019s largest neighborhood,\u00a0Dorchester. Although its 2009 median sale price was $255,000, its 2019 median sale price was $508,000. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_1_Million_Mark_Bay_Village_Remains_Bostons_Most_Expensive_Neighborhood_at_16_Million\"><\/span><strong>The $1 Million Mark: Bay Village Remains Boston\u2019s Most Expensive Neighborhood at $1.6 Million<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2009, the most expensive neighborhood in Boston was Bay Village, with an $882,000 median sale price. But, by 2019, median prices in seven neighborhoods had surpassed $882,000 \u2014 which means that one-third of Boston\u2019s neighborhoods now exceed the highest median from a decade earlier. In particular, three neighborhoods surpassed the $1 million mark: Bay Village, the Downtown-Financial District and Back Bay. Several others also recorded medians close to $1 million, including the South End, the Chinatown-Leather District, North End Boston and Beacon Hill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"801\" height=\"487\" src=\"https:\/\/www.propertyshark.com\/Real-Estate-Reports\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/98\/2020\/03\/Top-5-most-expensive-neighb-Boston.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-37543\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.propertyshark.com\/Real-Estate-Reports\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/98\/2020\/03\/Top-5-most-expensive-neighb-Boston.png 801w, https:\/\/www.propertyshark.com\/Real-Estate-Reports\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/98\/2020\/03\/Top-5-most-expensive-neighb-Boston.png?resize=300,182 300w, https:\/\/www.propertyshark.com\/Real-Estate-Reports\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/98\/2020\/03\/Top-5-most-expensive-neighb-Boston.png?resize=768,467 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 801px) 100vw, 801px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2019,\u00a0Bay Village\u00a0held onto its title as the most expensive Boston neighborhood with a $1,615,000\u00a0median price. Known for its historic brick rowhouses \u2014 as well as being the birthplace of Edgar Allan Poe \u2014 prices here surged 83% in the last decade. And, with just more than 1,000 residents, prices likely increased due to the size of and demand for the neighborhood.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next up is the Downtown-Financial District, which had a $1,298,000 median sale price in 2019 compared to its $834,000 median in 2009. Famous for its history and ultra-luxe high rises like the Millennium Tower, it\u2019s the second-most expensive neighborhood in Boston. An increase in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bostonherald.com\/2019\/10\/30\/luxury-condos-reign-supreme-amid-bostons-building-boom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">luxury\u00a0condominiums<\/a> and developments contributed to the neighborhood\u2019s 56% price growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back Bay, Boston\u2019s third-most expensive neighborhood, had a $1,100,000 median sale price in 2019, up from its $732,000 median in 2009.The area\u2019s 50% price increase can be attributed to its distinguished brownstones listed on the National Register of Historic Places and recognition in Henry James\u2019\u00a0\u201cThe Bostonians.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not far behind, several neighborhoods came in just below the $1 million mark. In particular, the South End \u2014 which boasts the largest district of intact\u00a0Victorian houses\u00a0in the U.S. \u2014 registered a 45% price growth with a $950,000 median in 2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, the Chinatown-Leather District\u2019s 2019 median sale price grew 48% to a $935,000 median in 2019. This growth was largely due to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wgbh.org\/news\/2016\/05\/10\/local-news\/chinatowns-poorest-live-shadow-luxury\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">luxury\u00a0developments in Chinatown<\/a> and the conversion of many of the Leather District\u2019s 19<sup>th<\/sup>-century warehouses into lofts reminiscent of those in New York\u2019s SoHo.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, North End Boston \u2014 often referred to as Little Italy \u2014 had a $910,000 median sale price and 53% price growth. And, at exactly $900,000, the exclusive Beacon Hill registered a 39% 10-year price growth.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"By_2030_Home_Prices_in_Half_of_Bostons_Neighborhoods_Could_Exceed_1_Million\"><\/span><strong><\/strong><strong>By 2030, Home Prices in Half of Boston\u2019s Neighborhoods Could Exceed $1 Million<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, we used the 2009 to 2019 price growth per neighborhood to gauge potential median home sales prices at the beginning of 2030. This relies on the premise was that there will <em>not<\/em> be a significant drop due to the pandemic. Therefore, we calculated what the residential property values in Boston\u2019s neighborhoods could be in a decade from 2020, or by the beginning of 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this scenario, prices would more than double in East Boston, Roxbury and Mattapan with 10-year growth rates of 120%, 115% and 110%, respectively. Specifically, while medians in East Boston and Roxbury hovered around half a million in 2019, this model suggests that they could surpass the $1 million mark by 2030 with medians of $1,206,000 and $1,073,000, respectively. Likewise, Mattapan\u2019s $438,000 median in 2019 would also inch toward the $1 million mark by 2030 with a $918,000 median.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"677\" src=\"https:\/\/www.propertyshark.com\/Real-Estate-Reports\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/98\/2020\/10\/Boston-Neighborhoods-median-home-sale-price_horizontal-003.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38966\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.propertyshark.com\/Real-Estate-Reports\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/98\/2020\/10\/Boston-Neighborhoods-median-home-sale-price_horizontal-003.png 800w, https:\/\/www.propertyshark.com\/Real-Estate-Reports\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/98\/2020\/10\/Boston-Neighborhoods-median-home-sale-price_horizontal-003.png?resize=300,254 300w, https:\/\/www.propertyshark.com\/Real-Estate-Reports\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/98\/2020\/10\/Boston-Neighborhoods-median-home-sale-price_horizontal-003.png?resize=768,650 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In particular, Bay Village and the Downtown-Financial District might continue to be the city\u2019s first- and second-most expensive neighborhoods. As such, they would also be the only two Boston neighborhoods where prices could hit the $2 million mark, with medians reaching $2,957,000 and $2,020,000, respectively. In fact, while only three neighborhoods hit the $1 million mark in 2019, by 2030, median prices in more than half of Boston\u2019s neighborhoods could surpass $1 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the median in the Chinatown-Leather District were to rise by 48%, prices here could increase from $935,000 to $1,385,000 \u2014 holding steady as the fifth-most expensive neighborhood in both 2019 and 2030. Along the same lines, medians in South End Boston and Charlestown could also surpass the $1 million mark by 2030. In 2019, South End Boston was close and had the highest median of the two neighborhoods at $950,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of affordability, of all the neighborhoods in our study, West End Boston may well have both the smallest percentage growth rate (23%) and the lowest median potential home sale price in 2030 at $625,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">For comparison, i<\/span>n 2019, Mattapan\u2019s $438,000 median made it the most affordable area. However, with a projected 110% price increase by 2030, Mattapan\u2019s median would rise to $918,000 and, as a result, plunge to the eighth-most affordable neighborhood. Consequently, the second-most affordable neighborhood, Hyde Park, could be the only other area with a median below $700,000 in 2030 ($692,000), as Mission Hill\u2019s $700,000 median would rank it as the third-most affordable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-303\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-303\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\">Neighborhood<\/th><th class=\"column-2\">Median Sale Price 2019<\/th><th class=\"column-3\">Median Sale Price 2009<\/th><th class=\"column-4\">Previous 10-Year Change<\/th><th class=\"column-5\">10-Year Estimate (2030)<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-striping row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Bay Village<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">$1,615,000 <\/td><td class=\"column-3\">$882,000 <\/td><td class=\"column-4\">83%<\/td><td class=\"column-5\">$2,957,000 <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Downtown -
