Greater Boston renters need to make $181K to afford a starter home
A homebuyer needs to earn at least $181,000 a year to be able to comfortably afford a single-family home — and a lower-priced one at that — in Greater Boston, a new Boston Indicators report states. Why it matters: Homeownership remains out of reach for Greater Boston residents, especially Black and Latino residents, even as home sale prices soften, per the 2026 Greater Boston Housing Report Card released Tuesday. Catch up quick: Demand has outpaced housing supply for decades in Massachusetts, but home sale prices have increased on pace with (and sometimes outpacing) inflation. Those increases, plus increased interest rates, mean home prices are just starting to dip slightly even as the region's population growth and economy slow down. By the numbers: In 2021, interest rates were 3% and the median cost of a single-family home in a "low-priced town" was $553,500, per the report. Some 188,000 renters in Greater Boston earned enough to own a home in that scenario ($124,000 or more). Today, interest rates have more than doubled and the median for that home is $600,000. Now just 119,000 renters earn enough to afford a home ($181,000 or more). Data: Zillow via Boston Indicators, 2026 Greater Boston Housing

NOAH celebrates the preservation of 111 affordable homes in Eastie
The Neighborhood of Affordable Housing (NOAH) gathered with partners, residents and advocates to acknowledge and celebrate everyone who helped NOAH preserve 111 units in 29 buildings in East Boston. NOAH has long been committed to acquiring small multifamily buildings in East Boston. For decades, East Boston’s triple-deckers and small multifamily buildings have provided homes for the working families and immigrants who have helped shape the neighborhood’s identity. As housing costs have risen, preserving these buildings has become increasingly important to protecting longtime residents from displacement. NOAH has been at the forefront of this work, acquiring properties and maintaining them as affordable housing rather than allowing them to be sold on the private market. Throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, with the help of the Massachusetts Housing Partnership (MHP) and the City of Boston, NOAH acquired over 80 three-deckers. NOAH sold 42 of these to first time homebuyers and has since created an additional 37 first time homeownership units.
