Roslindale prices climbed even with rates above 7%

Real estate, Roslindale

Rates are high. Prices went up anyway. That's the story in Roslindale right now.

The Real Estate Data Aggregator put that number up 11.6% from a year before. That's a real jump, not a rounding error.

If you own a home here, this tells you demand is still strong. Buyers are still showing up and paying.

If you're buying, this means two things stacked together. A higher price, and a higher monthly payment. Realtor.com put the average 30 year rate at 7.33% in October 2026.

Homes are selling for more than asking, on average. The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted sale prices at 103.4% of list in Roslindale.

And just over half of homes, 52.1%, sold above list price. That share actually dipped a bit, down 1.4 points from last year.

So some buyers are finding small pockets of room to negotiate. Not every home is going over asking anymore.

Fewer new listings hit the market, down 2.3%. But pending sales climbed 13.2%.

That's buyers moving faster on fewer choices. Only 1.6 months of supply, same as last year.

Nationally, the picture looks different. Realtor.com reported mortgage rates peaked at 7.40% in mid October. Redfin reported the median U.S. home sale price actually slipped 0.4% year over year for the four weeks ending November 1, 2026.

Roslindale isn't following that national dip. Prices here are still climbing, even with rates elevated.

These numbers cover all of 02131 for the three months ending August 31, 2026. Your street might tell a different story.

A two family on one block can price very differently than a single family three streets over. Worth checking before you set a number.
