The value of some Boston office buildings has tumbled by 50%, causing homeowners to pick up the tax burden.

I just wrapped up our first quarter review of commercial real estate activity across Rockingham, Essex, and Middlesex counties—and there are some encouraging signs:

- Sales volume is up 12% year-over-year, with Q1 2025 outpacing Q1 2024 by three additional building sales.
- Transaction velocity is on trend, suggesting stabilization and renewed market confidence.
- We’re seeing increased activity in retail, office, industrial, and flex properties between $1M–$100M.
- Despite Fed rate cuts starting in Q4 2024, long-term borrowing costs remain elevated, creating ongoing underwriting challenges.

The market is showing signs of resilience. We’re not in a boom—but momentum is building.
