Every Tuesday, I put together a Weekly Rental Report. This week’s report features Greater Boston’s most active rental markets: Brighton, Brookline, Cambridge, and Roxbury.
Let’s jump into this week’s highlights 
Rental Price Shifts
This week, rents decreased in most neighborhoods except Brighton, where prices increased. This is a reminder that rent trends can shift block by block, and timing matters more than ever.
Days on Market (DOM)
Across the board, rentals are moving faster, with shorter DOM in every neighborhood except Roxbury, where listings sat slightly longer than average.
Rentals Over Asking
Here’s where competition is heating up:
-
Brookline: 5 rentals closed over asking
-
Cambridge: 3 over-asking deals
-
Brighton: 2 over-asking
These numbers suggest serious renter demand, especially in Brookline’s highly desirable locations.
Looking Ahead: Summer & September Leasing
Summer is almost here, and so is the peak rental season. June and July listings are live now—and if you’re targeting a September 1st move-in, expect listings to start dropping late May into early June.
If you’re a landlord with a September vacancy, now is the time to prep and price strategically.
