Boston Rent Prices Continue to Rise


Are you currently renting and wondering if now is a good time to buy a home in Boston? The Boston real estate market is in good shape and is expected to continue to rise upward through 2018. The same can be said of the rental market. Rentals are booming – for the landlord. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) was released by the Labor Department last week. Rents are up in 62/100 major cities – including Boston. Boston is up .4% month to month and is up .5% from last year at this time.  

Boston rents are expected to continue to climb throughout this year and the next. Home prices and mortgage rates are also expected to rise so it doesn’t make sense to wait another year to purchase a home in Boston as you will pay more in the long run.

Bottom Line. Buying a home now before your rent rises makes sense financially. If you are one of the many renters out there who would like to evaluate your ability to buy this year, meet with a Boston real estate professional who can help you find your dream home.

When you are ready to purchase a home in Boston, contact an experienced Boston real estate agent. I am committed to providing you with the highest quality buyer service. When making the type of investment that buying a home requires, you deserve to have all the latest market information and the very best advice, both of which I can provide you with. I hope to speak with you soon!
