Boston Apartment Availability Drops 87% In Six Months In Rapid Recovery

Image
Boston’s apartment availability percentage has been on a wild ride over the past 24 months.   In October of 2019, apartment availability was near an all-time low at 1.74% following a decade of growing demand for rental units in Greater Boston.   In 2020, it rapidly climbed to its highest level in more than a decade and peaked at 13.43% in March, more than double its cyclical high in March of 2019 (5.56%).   Since then, apartment availability has been in a free fall, and is beginning to flatten at 1.97%, very close to its level in October 2019.   That marks an 87.04% drop in availability rate in just 7 months for Boston apartments .

Somerville’s median single family price of $992K ranks 14th highest out of the 33 neighborhoods in Metro Boston.  That rank may not sound impressive, but it is when you consider that only 3 other suburbs rank higher than Somerville on that list:  Brookline ($2.2M), Cambridge ($1.8M), and Newton ($1.59M).  You might think that COVID-19 would have hit these expensive real estate markets the hardest, but it did little to slow down the housing market in Somerville, MA.  Rental data shows that the apartment vacancy rate in Somerville stayed well below th
