In the newest Torii Monthly Market report, you’ll see that Boston real estate is hotter than your ill-advised mid-day run on the Esplanade. The median sale price for homes in the Boston area during July was $625,000, which was actually the same as in June. While that sounds like prices are stagnant month-over-month, it’s actually a relative increase compared to the past two years. As you can see in the chart below, this is the first time in three years that prices haven’t fallen from June to July.
