Braintree is one of the strongest seller’s markets on the South Shore. The median home sold for about $712,000 in June 2026, up 6.5% from a year earlier, at 102% of list price, in a median of 20 days. More than half of Braintree homes sold above asking.
Our team sells across Braintree, from Braintree Highlands to South Braintree, East Braintree, Five Corners and every neighborhood in between. Each one has its own character, draws a different buyer and sells at a different price, so we price and market your home against its own neighborhood, not the town as a whole.
Braintree is one of the few South Shore towns with a Red Line station, which brings Braintree homes in front of buyers who would otherwise stay in the city.

Prices are still rising. Braintree’s median is up 6.5% year over year, one of the stronger gains on the South Shore.
More homes are selling, so competition among sellers is up. With sales up 18%, your home needs to stand out from the others on the market the same weekend.
In Braintree, the answer depends a great deal on where you are. A home near Braintree station and South Braintree Square, or in North Braintree and East Braintree close to the Quincy line and the Weymouth Landing commuter rail stop, is priced by buyers who put the commute first. A home in Braintree Highlands or on the quiet streets around Thayer Academy sells to a buyer who wants space, a yard and a neighborhood feel. Our first step is working out who your most likely buyer is based on your location, and then pricing and marketing your home to that buyer.
