Braintree, MA Real Estate

Finding a new house, townhouse, condo or apartment in Braintree, MA, doesn’t have to be an uphill battle.

On this page, you can quickly sign up for instant, free, unlimited access to our comprehensive online database of searchable Massachusetts real estate listings. With those resources at your fingertips, zeroing in on promising properties should be a snap.

The Norfolk County city of Braintree, MA, had a population of around 36,000 at the time of the 2010 U.S. Census. Situated about 13 miles south of downtown Boston and covered by the 02184 zip code, the city is bordered by several communities, including Holbrook, Weymouth, Quincy and Randolph. Located as it is in such a convenient area, with easy access to the city, this city is a popular place for everyone from families to young professionals. Most of the properties here are designed with dense urban living in mind, but it is also possible to find single-family homes.

Real estate in Braintree tends to be a bit more expensive than the state average. Currently, the median list price for real estate across the state is around $419,000. By comparison, the median list price for residential real estate in this city is around $530,000. Closing is often a different story, and the state median sale price of $356,000 reflects this. The median sale price for this city is $436,000, so it is still quite a bit higher than average. If you prefer to compare properties based on price per square foot, the median price in this city is $264 versus $242 across Massachusetts.

One thing you shouldn’t have to worry about is a lack of options when seeking real estate in Braintree. At any particular time, there are typically upwards of 60 to 70 homes listed for sale in the city. It is also interesting to note that homes don’t tend to linger on the market here for very long. The average number of days on market, 18, suggests that this is a bit of a seller’s market. Don’t worry, however. With the right assistance, you can still find what you need for a competitive price—just connect with Boston City Properties.

Throughout this bustling city, there are more than 13,700 residential properties, including detached homes, apartments, condos and townhouses. Of that total, around 62 percent are single-family homes; around 3 percent are townhouses; and around 34 percent are apartments. In this city, approximately 69 percent of properties are owned, around 32 percent are rented and roughly 4 percent are vacant. This information suggests that it will probably be a bit easier to find a single-family home than a townhouse or condo, for example. Apartments, however, are widely available, and the median monthly rent of $1,838 is far cheaper than the state average.

Whether you’re looking to buy or rent a house, condo, apartment or townhome, Boston City Properties has resources that will make the process a whole lot easier:

• Single-family homes – With well more than half of the residential properties in this town consisting of detached single-family homes, you should be able to take your pick from a decent selection of options when searching for real estate in Braintree. However, zeroing in on something that not only suits your budget but that has the features that you need is a bit trickier. That’s where Boston City Properties’ resources—especially our constantly updated listings—really come in handy.
• Condos and townhouses – Reports show that only around 3 percent of residential properties in this city are classified as townhomes or condos. Don’t let that deter you from seeking them out here, though; just understand that a bit more patience may be needed. Because Boston City Properties has connections with experienced real estate experts in this city, we can refer you to one who may have insider info that can help you find the perfect thing. It’s just one more way that we go to bat for our customers.
• Apartments – If you are looking to rent an apartment in Braintree, you’re in luck because around 34 percent of residential properties here fall into that category. As mentioned before, renting apartments here is somewhat more affordable than it is in many parts of the state, as the statewide median monthly rent is $2,500 and the median monthly rent here is only $1,850 or so. While our database is primarily loaded with listings for properties for sale, it includes up-to-the-second availability info for apartments in cities and towns across MA, so it’s the best place to kick off any search.
