Current Mortgage Rate Context

Market-level mortgage rate comparison for this area:

Current 30-year fixed mortgage rates in Roxbury MA 02119 are approximately 6.25%, reflecting a market where typical loans originated earlier in 2026 saw average rates near 6.57%.

Note: Interest rate comparisons provide market context. The existing "Interest Rate Pressure" metric above shows the qualitative market impact.


Key Findings

  1. The neighborhood's median sold price is $629,000, which establishes the primary market value signal and, together with extended median days on market, suggests cooler transaction velocity in recent sales activity.

  2. There is a notable spread between the median listing price of $950,000 and the median sold price of $629,000, which may indicate pricing friction and seller expectations above recent transaction levels.

  3. The market shows prolonged selling timelines with a median days on market of 232, consistent with a cold market temperature and implying slower sales velocity rather than rapid turnover.

  4. Rental conditions are comparatively firmer: the median market rent of $3,600 is rising year-over-year (up), while mortgage conditions reflect moderate interest rate pressure (current ~6.25% vs. earlier 6.57%), which may sustain rental demand as buying remains pressured.

Current Mortgage Rate Context

Market-level mortgage rate comparison for this area:

Current 30-year fixed mortgage rates in Roxbury MA 02119 are approximately 6.25%, reflecting a market where typical loans originated earlier in 2026 saw average rates near 6.57%.

Note: Interest rate comparisons provide market context. The existing "Interest Rate Pressure" metric above shows the qualitative market impact.


Key Findings

  1. The primary market indicator, the median sold price, is $524,300, which aligns with a down price year-over-year trend and suggests realized transaction values are softening in the neighborhood.

  2. The median days on market is 289, indicating cold market temperature and slower sales velocity; this longer market exposure appears to increase pricing friction and may prolong time-to-contract for sellers.

  3. The median price per square foot is $510, which defines current valuation density for SFR and condo transactions and may require careful pricing strategies to align seller expectations with recent sales given the observed slower transaction pace.

  4. Rental and financing context: the median market rent is $3,700 and rent is up year-over-year, while interest rate pressure is moderate; Current 30-year fixed mortgage rates in Roxbury MA 02119 are approximately 6.25%, reflecting rate levels that may continue to temper purchase activity.
