Jamaica Plain home prices averaging nearly $500 a square foot

The average asking price for market-rate homes in Jamaica Plain was $497 a square foot as of late March, according to an analysis from real estate research site NeighborhoodX.

That average came from prices ranging from $321 a square foot for a 2,171-square-foot house to $628 a foot for a 1,033-square-foot condo. See below for a further breakdown.

A big caveat to the analysis, per NeighborhoodX research director Constantine Valhouli: “The analysis excludes a few properties positioned as development sites or with significant amounts of land, which skews the value of the existing built square footage.”
