South End Single-Family Snapshot: March 2026
As of March 28 2026, there are only four active single-family homes for sale in Boston’s South End over 2,000 square feet — a reminder of just how limited single-family inventory continues to be in this highly sought-after neighborhood.
Current listings range from $3,995,000 for 48 Appleton Street, represented by Daisy Penney and John Gould of the Penney Gould Team, to a standout property on West Canton Street listed at $8,995,000.
Beyond the public market, there are two additional single-family homes available exclusively on Compass and four off-market opportunities available only through the Penney Gould Team’s agent network.
Already this year, the team successfully represented and closed the off-market sale of 77 Warren Avenue for $4,920,000 — a beautifully renovated home with parking.
Limited Supply, Steady Demand
Single-family opportunities in the South End have always been scarce, and recent sales activity underscores that trend.
In the past three months, there have been only three on-market single-family sales in the entire South End — at 9 Bond Street, 44 Appleton Street, and 193 West Springfield Street. This exceptionally low turnover highlights the continuing imbalance between buyer demand and available inventory.
Leading the Market in South End Single-Family Sales
Over the past few years, the Penney Gould Team has consistently led the way in representing both sellers and buyers across this specialized segment.
Recent highlights include a range of significant transactions, from 9 Bond Street, which sold in December 2025 for $2,950,000, to the record-breaking off-market sale of 24 Union Park for $12,100,000 — the highest residential sale ever recorded in the South End.
The team also represented the sellers in several of the area’s other top sales:
• 5 Union Park — Off-market sale for $10,700,000, the second-highest residential sale in the South End
• 39 Union Park — Closed at $10,200,000
• 7 Union Park, 120 Appleton, 131 West Newton, 48 Montgomery, 109 Appleton and 60 Chandler — All successfully sold by the team
• Development transactions including 18 Milford Street and 32 Dwight Street
With limited inventory and sustained buyer competition, the South End continues to command attention as one of Boston’s most desirable neighborhoods for single-family living. The Penney Gould Team’s depth of experience, exclusive connections, and proven success continue to set the standard in this competitive market.
