Boston Property Report — 2026-08-26

Furlong PA → Boston Area relocation. Fresh search each run — no day-over-day deltas.

20 corridor land & home listings on 0.75–5.0 acres (10 confirmed active, 8 pending/contingent, 2 status-unconfirmed) with Rehoboth MA again by far the deepest at 8 and Canton MA a cross-verified zero across LandWatch, Land.com and LandSearch; 7 URL-verified RI beach-area weekly-rental buy candidates concentrated in the Warwick RI shore; 16 duplex candidates (6 MA, 10 RI) with Sharon MA, Stoughton MA and Jamestown RI all confirmed zero; 156 Rocky Hill Rd, Rehoboth MA re-confirmed as the cheapest active buildable parcel at $229,000 unchanged; Norwood Hospital re-confirmed CLOSED with two operators in talks and August 2026 emergency legislation passed; Narragansett RI’s short-term-rental permit cap still enjoined with the town now pivoting toward a zoning-based re-draft; and Rhode Island’s 5% whole-home STR tax re-confirmed in effect since 2026-01-01.
Criteria in force this run

Section 1 — Corridor Land & Homes (0.75–5.0 acres)

Canton MA

Zero qualifying inventory. Cross-verified this run against three independent sources — LandWatch (0 results), Land.com (0 results on the 1–5 acre filter) and LandSearch (only a 0.23-acre lot, below band). This is a real market condition, not a search failure — Canton MA's large-lot inventory is currently exhausted.

Attleboro MA has zero confirmed-active qualifying parcels this run: 23 York Dr is pending, 0 Read St's status could not be verified from a primary listing page, and 980 Newport Ave carries conflicting price and structure data across portals.

Rehoboth MA 02769 — flagged: station drive ~18–20 min, fails the ≤10 minute rail rule

Included per standing instruction because Rehoboth MA carries the deepest qualifying inventory in the corridor. Amenity baseline for all Rehoboth rows: Sturdy Memorial ~15–18 min (borderline), Blanding Public Library ~5–8 min (in town, well rated), Planet Fitness Seekonk/Attleboro ~18–20 min. All estimates.

Section 2 — Beach-Area Weekly-Rental Buy Candidates (southern RI)

Properties to buy and then rent by the week. Only listings with a directly verifiable source URL appear in this table; leads that surfaced solely through search summaries are named in Coverage & Caveats instead of being shown here as confirmed.

Zero-inventory findings (stated, not padded): Jamestown RI returned zero condos and zero small-footprint cottage/duplex product — its 22 active 02835 listings run $895K–$11.2M single-family and estate stock (Zillow 02835). Zillow's dedicated Matunuck (South Kingstown RI) mobile-home filter returned 0 (Zillow); that inventory shows up under the broader South Kingstown/Wakefield RI search instead. Section 2 remains constrained by the ~15-minute Wickford Junction RI radius rather than by raw inventory — the Warwick RI shore rows above are the closest thing to genuinely transit-adjacent, and even those lean on T.F. Green rather than Wickford Junction.

Weekly rental rate benchmarks

AirDNA figures are trailing-twelve-month, updated 2026-08-25. AirDNA publishes no native weekly rate — the implied weekly column is ADR × 7 and is an estimate; real weekly bookings normally carry a discount to nightly ADR.

Short-term-rental rules by town

Excluded — cheap cottages whose community rules prohibit renting

Both verified verbatim from the communities’ own sites this run. They look ideal on price and location and are not rentable.

Section 3 — Dwelling-Unit Duplexes

Two separate living units with private entrances. No acreage cap, no price cap, no minimum room count. Owner-occupant strategy: primary residence with immediate rental income from the second unit.
