How we calculate this
Each week we snapshot every active listing on Spot Easy across Greater Boston, exclude drafts, admin-removed listings, and asking rents below $500 or above $20,000, dedupe by address + unit, and normalize bedroom counts into Studio / 1 / 2 / 3 / 4+. We require at least 20 active listings in a cell before publishing its median; thinner cells are suppressed. Figures are median asking rents, not signed-lease prices.
Sample sizes for June 2026 (N): 2BR 23 · 3BR 64 · 4+BR 50.
