Dorchester is almost as big as the
South End, Back Bay, Financial District,
and South Boston combined.
It’s so big that sales trends can differ
wildly from one part of it to another.
Savin Hill, “Bayside”
That’s why we broke Dorchester into
four sections. This way, the data reflects
more accurate sales trends.

Dorchester Overview
The waiting is the hardest part
Even as overall prices rose, the total number of
sales in Dorchester this quarter dropped
significantly as buyers waited to make their move.
Prices rise
Prices rose 11.5% from Q4 ’09 to Q4 ’10
In fact, even as overall prices rose 11.5%, the
number of sales was 30.4% lower than in Q4 ’09.
Why?
Tax credits expired
A squall of activity in the first half of last year
was spurred by buyer tax credits of as much
as $8,000.
But once those credits expired, the storm
subsided. It seems most of those who
planned to buy last year bought before this
deadline, leaving the market to languish in
a buyer-drought.
Stale inventory
When the dust settled after the first half of the
year, much of the most desirable inventory
had been purchased.
What was left was either flawed or too
overpriced to be purchased during the rush,
and quickly became stale as buyers waited in
the wings for news that would motivate them
to act.
Market uncertainty
The later part of 2010 brought uncertainty with
the economy and buyers waiting to see the
outcome of an election and for news of
potentially large tax increases, leaving many
to wait a little longer to make their move.

trend and climbed by
nearly 11%, even as sellers
had to wait considerably longer to find a buyer.
Single family prices dipped as the small handful
of those that sold were all on the less-expensive side
of the wide-ranging pricing spectrum of this property
type.
But perhaps the biggest news came from the condo
sector where we saw several sales in the $400s.
