Massachusetts is not exactly known for its affordable housing. According to RentCafe, the cost of housing in the Bay State is 108% higher than the national average.

Methodology: For this study, GOBankingRates analyzed cities in Massachusetts to find where the home prices are expected to surge in 2025. First, GOBankingRates found the current home prices using Zillow Home Value Index from November 2024. For each location a number of factors were found including; total population, population ages 65 and over, total households, and household median income all sourced from the U.S. Census American Community Survey. Using this data the percentage of the population ages 65 and over can be calculated. Selecting only cities with data available, GOBankingRates then used the Zillow Home Value Forecast from November 2024 to find the expected percentage change in home values for Massachusetts cities in November 2025. Using this data as well as the current home values, the expected home values and home value change in dollars can be calculated. The cities were sorted to show the highest dollar change of home value increases expected. All data was collected on and is up to date as of Jan. 6, 2025.
