I asked a Boston public policy expert one question.

Are double-digit property tax hikes coming?

His answer: “Yes. For at least the next few years.”

Commercial values are falling, so residential owners carry more of the levy, and your cash flow takes the hit.

Boston property taxes: +13% this year, the second double-digit jump in a row. Office values keep falling, commercial is already taxed at the legal max, and the State Senate voted down relief 33–5. The gap lands on homes and condos, and rentals get no residential exemption to help soften the blow. Double digit increases in property taxes is the likely path forward for the next few years.

What are people sleeping on in the South Boston real estate market?

Liquidity.

In 2022, more than 80% of South Boston listings in the data I reviewed ultimately sold.

In 2026, that figure is closer to 50%.

That doesn’t necessarily mean a crash is coming. It means properties are taking longer to move, more listings are failing to convert into sales, and buyers have become far more selective.

The bigger risk for sellers may not be a sudden drop in prices.

It’s prolonged stagnation followed by repricing.

In this market, pricing correctly from day one matters more than it has in years.

I wanted to do a quick reintroduction if you’re new to me.

I’m Chris Fitzpatrick. I live here in South Boston with my wife and our 3 kids, and I’ve built my real estate business around this neighborhood.

What makes us different is that we are not just a traditional brokerage. We help clients buy and sell properties (especially investments), offer property management, oversee renovations, and evaluate development opportunities.

That end-to-end experience gives me a clearer understanding of the risks and opportunities my clients face regularly, allowing me to add significant value to them.

I work with owners, buyers, investors, and developers who want honest advice backed by real boots on the ground experience and actual market data.

South Boston is not just where I work. It is where I live, raise my family, and continue building a business rooted in the neighborhood.

I just pulled the latest numbers for Southie. Here’s what’s actually happening.

Condos: this is the bulk of the market, and it’s shifting. Sale prices are down about 5% year over year. Sellers are cutting prices at a faster clip than 2025. We’re at roughly 5 months of supply which is still balanced, but the momentum is shifting with inventory increasing.

Single family: for years this was the bastion of strength in Southie. Inventory has doubled. Prices are down. But well-priced homes are still moving. The market isn’t broken, it’s just less forgiving.

Investment properties: sales are up year over year, but that’s not the whole story. Investors are underwriting more carefully as cap rates expand. Landlords have been absorbing real pain: more regulation, property tax increases, and operating costs that keep climbing. The buyers who are transacting are doing it with more discipline.

Nuance matters a lot in this market though. If you want to talk through what this means for a specific situation, I’m happy to get into it.

451 East 7th St. is the kind of South Boston multifamily that rarely comes around.

Fully occupied✅ Three units✅ East Side location✅ Immediate cash flow✅ Real upside

Just blocks from Carson Beach and East Broadway, this property gives investors something hard to find in today’s market: stable in-place income with leases secured through August 31, 2026, plus future value-add potential with ZBA approval already in place for a fourth unit in the basement.

In a neighborhood where supply stays tight and good assets get picked off fast, this is a serious opportunity to lock up a well-located, fully leased building with both stability and runway.

451 East 7th St. checks all the boxes:
• Fully occupied 3-unit multifamily
• Strong East Side South Boston location
• Leases in place through 8/31/26
• Predictable cash flow from day one
• Basement with 8’+ ceiling height
• ZBA approval for a 4th unit

For the investor looking for a South Boston multifamily that offers both current income and future upside, this one deserves a close look.
