NeighborhoodX - Jamaica Plain (Mar. 2018)

As of March2018 202March2018, the average asking price for Jamaica Plain is $497 per square foot. However, the individual properties that comprise this average range from $321/sq.ft. (a 2,171 sq.ft. house at 9 Gay Head St. asking $699,000) to $628/sq.ft. (a 1,033 sq.ft. 3BR condo at 79 Parkton Rd. #1 asking $649,000).

Why do we report price ranges as well as average price per square foot? We believe that this gives a more complete picture of the neighborhood's pricing. Specifically, a price range gives a sense of the bargains that may still exist in established neighborhoods, but which may be obscured by the average figure. And these ranges also give a sense of the upper end of pricing in emerging neighborhoods.
