Town Pricing Anatomy: See Exactly What You're Paying For in Every Boston-Area Town

Town Pricing Anatomy breaks down median prices for 116 Greater Boston towns into five transparent components: Land (base lot value), Structure (building cost), Schools (quality premium), Access (commute value), and Prestige (brand value). Each component shows its percentage contribution to total price, calculated using forward math: (Land + Structure) × Schools × Access × Prestige = Final Price. No double-counting. No black-box algorithms. Just clear, explainable pricing that helps you understand value, identify arbitrage opportunities, and make smarter buying decisions. Example: Dover's $2.4M = 13.3% land + 37.9% structure + 21.5% schools + 7.3% access + 20% prestige. Brockton's $450K = 16.5% land + 80.6% structure + 5.8% schools + 8.2% access - 11.1% prestige (negative prestige penalty).
