Boston home and condo sales dip, prices stay constant

The median home price in Boston was unchanged in the past year at $390,000, but that stability masked wide swings in prices in the city’s 15 neighborhoods, according to a Boston Globe analysis of city-provided data.

Prices declined a sharp 17.5 percent, to $329,900, in the once-red-hot East Boston market, and fell more modestly in Jamaica Plain and some downtown neighborhoods. But three outer, more affordable neighborhoods — Mattapan, Charlestown, and Allston-Brighton — experienced large price increases.

In the city as a whole, the number of sales fell 7.5 percent.
