The Brookline condo market remains active in 2026, with prices moderately higher than they were during the same period last year and available inventory still limited. From January 1 through August 27, 2026, the median Brookline condo sold for $1,075,000, up from $1,030,000 during the same period in 2025. Median days on market increased from 21 to 24 days. Current supply remains tight. As of August 27, Brookline had 92 active condo listings. Buyers closed 252 condo sales during the previous six months, or about 42 sales per month. Based on that pace, Brookline has approximately 2.2 months of condo supply. Those townwide figures provide a useful starting point, but condo prices and market time vary by area, property size, building, condition, parking, and amenities.
Brookline Condo Market at a Glance
The Brookline condo market in 2026 shows modest price growth, nearly unchanged sales volume, and slightly longer market times. Prices have risen more than price per square foot, which suggests that the mix of condos selling this year also affects the headline median. 
Source: MLS Property Information Network (MLS PIN), Centre Realty Group Pinergy listing statistics. Both YTD periods cover January 1 through August 27. The median sale price increased 4.4%, while median price per square foot rose only 0.9%. That difference matters. It means buyers and sellers should not assume that every Brookline condo increased in value by 4.4%. For broader regional context, Centre Realty Group’s Boston housing market mid-year report looks at pricing and market trends across the wider Boston market.
How Much Do Condos Cost in Brookline in 2026?
A Brookline condo sold for a median $1.075 million from January 1 through August 27, 2026. The median sale price per square foot reached $823.44, and the median sold condo measured 1,260 square feet. During the same period in 2025, the Brookline condo market recorded a $1.03 million median sale price and $816.10 median sale price per square foot. The numbers point to a market with higher overall sale prices but much smaller movement on a per-square-foot basis. Larger units, property condition, renovations, parking, outdoor space, and the mix of buildings that closed during each period can all influence the median.

Many of the same due-diligence considerations apply throughout Greater Boston.
Brookline Condo Prices by Area
Brookline condo prices vary considerably by area. The 2026 MLS data shows different price levels in Coolidge Corner, Brookline Village, Chestnut Hill, Longwood, and Beaconsfield. 
Source: MLS PIN / Centre Realty Group Pinergy statistics, January 1–August 27 of each year. Transaction counts differ by area, so a large percentage change does not automatically represent appreciation for every condo there. Recent comparable properties with similar size, condition, building type, and amenities provide stronger pricing context.

Why the Coolidge Corner Median Changed So Much
Coolidge Corner shows why a headline median needs context. From January through August 27, 2025, 86 Coolidge Corner condos sold at a median price of $899,500. The median price per square foot was $849.75, and the median unit measured 1,152 square feet. During the same period in 2026, 80 condos sold at a median price of $1,245,000. That looks like a sharp increase. However, median price per square foot remained almost unchanged at $850.69, while the median sold condo grew to 1,395.5 square feet. In other words, buyers purchased larger Coolidge Corner condos in the 2026 sample. The change in property mix explains much of the difference in the headline median. This is why an owner should not take an area-wide percentage increase and apply it directly to an individual condo.
Brookline Condo Inventory and Months of Supply
The Brookline condo inventory remains limited relative to the current pace of sales. As of August 27, 2026, MLS PIN showed 92 active Brookline condo listings. During the previous six months, buyers closed 252 Brookline condo sales. That equals an average pace of 42 closings per month. Centre Realty Group calculates months of supply as: 92 active condos ÷ 42 average monthly sales = approximately 2.2 months of supply. A 2.2-month supply indicates relatively tight inventory at the current sales pace. Buyers still face competition for some properties, but market conditions vary from one listing to another. The active inventory also tells another story. The median active condo had already accumulated 69 days on market, while condos that closed during the previous six months recorded a median 22 days on market. That gap suggests that properties that match buyer expectations continue to move faster, while some unsold inventory remains on the market much longer.
Brookline Condo Supply by Area
Inventory also varies within Brookline. 
Source: MLS PIN / Centre Realty Group Pinergy. CRG calculates supply using current active inventory and the average monthly sales pace from the previous six months. The smaller areas have limited samples, so one or two new listings or closings can change their months-of-supply figures quickly. Coolidge Corner and Brookline Village provide larger samples for current market analysis.
How Long Do Condos Take to Sell in the Brookline Condo Market?
Brookline condos recorded a median 24 days on market in 2026 YTD, compared with 21 days during the same period in 2025. Median time to offer also increased from 9 to 11 days. The recent six-month data tells a similar story. Across 252 closed condos, the median listing received an offer in 10 days and recorded 22 days on market. The Brookline condo market therefore remains active, but buyers have taken slightly more time in 2026. Area-level YTD data shows additional differences:
- Coolidge Corner: 20 median days on market
- Beaconsfield: 29.5 days
- Longwood: 29 days
- Chestnut Hill: 31 days
- Brookline Village: 33.5 days
Pricing, condition, layout, parking, outdoor space, association finances, and competing inventory can all affect how quickly a condo receives an offer.
Why Brookline Condo Market Numbers Can Look Different
Different Brookline condo market reports can show very different prices because they may measure different periods or different groups of properties. Four factors explain much of the difference.
Median Price vs. Price per Square Foot
Brookline’s median condo sale price increased 4.4% in 2026 YTD, while median sale price per square foot rose only 0.9%. The Coolidge Corner example shows why. Larger units sold in the 2026 sample, pushing the median transaction price much higher even though price per square foot barely changed.
Monthly Data vs. Year-to-Date Data
A single month may contain more luxury condos, smaller units, renovated properties, or sales from one particular area. YTD data uses a larger transaction sample and provides more context for the Brookline condo market.
Condo-Only Data vs. All Residential Property
A Brookline housing statistic may combine condos with single-family or multifamily properties. Someone researching Brookline condo prices should use condo-only data whenever possible.
Small Samples Can Move Quickly
Some Brookline areas record only a handful of condo transactions during a period. A single high-priced sale can move a median sharply. For an individual property, recent comparable condo sales provide more useful information than a broad portal estimate.
What Else Should Brookline Condo Buyers Budget For?
The purchase price is only one part of condo ownership. Buyers should also review property taxes, monthly condo fees, association finances, insurance structure, and possible assessments. Brookline’s FY2026 residential tax rate is $10.24 per $1,000 of assessed value. The town lists a $354,974 residential exemption for qualifying owner-occupied properties. Condo fees vary by building. Rather than judging a property only by the monthly amount, buyers should find out what the association covers and how it manages future expenses. Review items such as:
- annual association budget;
- reserve balance;
- recent meeting minutes;
- master insurance;
- planned capital projects;
- current or proposed assessments;
- master deed;
- condominium trust; and
- association rules.

What the Brookline Condo Market Means for Buyers
The Brookline condo market in 2026 gives buyers more time on some listings, but current supply still remains limited. A practical approach includes:
- Compare recent condo-only sales. Give more weight to similar units in the same building or immediate area.
- Compare price per square foot as well as sale price. This can help separate actual pricing movement from changes in the size of units that sold.
- Review association finances. Look at reserves, budgets, meeting minutes, insurance, and planned work.
- Consider days on market. A property that has remained active for several weeks may require a different negotiation strategy than a new listing.
- Check the 6(d) process. Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 183A, Section 6(d) requires the condo organization to provide a statement of unpaid common expenses and other assessed sums after a written request and reasonable fee. The law gives the organization ten business days to furnish the statement.
- Calculate the full purchase cost. Closing expenses extend beyond the down payment. Centre Realty Group’s guide to closing costs in Massachusetts provides additional context.

What the Brookline Condo Market Means for Sellers
Brookline condo sellers still operate with limited overall inventory, but 2026 listings take slightly longer to move than they did during the same period last year. Median days to offer increased from 9 to 11 days, while median days on market moved from 21 to 24 days. The gap between recently closed properties and today’s active inventory also deserves attention. Recent closed condos recorded a 22-day median DOM, while current active condos show a 69-day median DOM. Sellers can use that information when setting expectations. Before listing:
- Review recent comparable sales from the same building or area.
- Compare price per square foot.
- Review competing active condos.
- Account for condition, layout, parking, outdoor space, and amenities.
- Prepare condo association documents early.
- Identify upcoming assessments or major association projects.
- Set the initial asking price from current market evidence.
