Massachusetts Towns Hit Million-Dollar Starter Homes

A new Zillow report reveals that dozens of U.S. cities now have starter homes hitting the $1 million mark—with Massachusetts leading the pack, adding nine new towns since 2020. While Boston itself stays below the threshold at $514K, its wealthier suburbs and island communities have jumped into the millionaire starter home club. Economists attribute this surge to pandemic-driven demand and persistent Northeast housing shortages, contrasting sharply with the national average of $198K. For those seeking affordability in Massachusetts, western towns offer a much more budget-friendly entry point—often under $200K.
