Boston Property Report — 2026-09-10

Furlong PA → Boston Area relocation search. Each run is a fresh search; no day-over-day deltas are computed.

17 Clara Ln, Narragansett RI — the report's long-standing "strongest single property" — is reclassified: it has never been a for-sale listing at all, only an active weekly rental ($3,600/wk peak, $1,750/wk shoulder via Carty Realty), which removes it from Section 2 and repurposes it as the run's most trustworthy rate comp; Norwood MA reverts to a Section 1 zero and last run's zero-breaking rescue is retracted — 230 Richland Rd, Norwood MA was cached "Pending" data on LandWatch/Land.com for a property that actually sold in 2022 for $689,900, meaning the switch-source-class rule rescued a stale listing rather than a real one; Section 1 lands at 16 corridor listings (down from 22) and Section 3 at 11 duplexes, while Section 2 falls to 2 largely on a tightened geography reading (the Providence Line's only RI stops are T.F. Green and Wickford Junction, which excludes most of the southern beach towns) rather than on inventory alone; 1125 School St, Mansfield MA was falsely reported active by a search-engine AI summary and caught against its Zillow detail page (removed 8/20/2026); the 18 North Ave, Attleboro MA price conflict resolves at $600,000 and the 10 Cobbler Ln, Sharon MA conflict resolves as cross-contamination with a different parcel (376 Lot C Mountain St, Sharon MA, sold 2022); Rehoboth MA's duplex zero holds across two source classes even as it again carries the deepest Section 1 inventory (5 listings); 0 Read St, Attleboro MA is gone an eighth run and 106 Indian Ln, Canton MA was pulled 8/19/2026; the Narragansett RI permit-cap injunction is unchanged and the statewide 5% RI whole-home STR tax is confirmed in effect; Buttonwoods, Warwick RI is unresolved a thirteenth run and remains a phone call, not a search; realtor.com unreachable a fifth consecutive run and still the largest named gap.

Seen on Rehoboth MA aggregator search pages but not detail-page verified this run, so deliberately not promoted: 15 Key West Blvd, 19 Cedar St, 5 Victoria Ln, 72 New St, and 48 & 52 Round Farm Rd, all Rehoboth MA. Carried as a named gap, not as inventory.

Section 2 — Beach-Area Weekly Rental Buys

Read the count carefully. Section 2 falls to 2 listings, and the dominant cause this run is a constraint reading, not an inventory collapse. The MBTA Providence Line's only Rhode Island stops are T.F. Green (Warwick RI) and Wickford Junction (North Kingstown RI). Applied strictly, the "within ~15 minutes of a Providence/Stoughton line station" rule confines Section 2 to North Kingstown RI and the Warwick shore — and excludes Narragansett RI, South Kingstown RI and Jamestown RI, which are 30–45+ min from either station and are precisely the strongest established weekly-rental markets. That tension between the rail rule and the rental economics is a standing conflict in the criteria and is flagged here rather than quietly resolved.

Boundary re-cut caveat. Barrington RI and Jamestown RI both show the same signature seen in earlier runs: one metric moving violently in one direction while its correlated metric moves the opposite way (listings +300% against ADR −48%, and listings −63.5% against ADR +17.6%). That is the fingerprint of AirDNA redrawing a market's geographic polygon between snapshots — supply being split from or merged with a neighbouring town — not of a real supply or price swing. The absolute ADR levels are usable as rough bands; the year-over-year percentages should be treated as artifacts and not carried into any pro forma.

Short-term rental rules by town

Explicitly excluded — cheap cottages whose community rules prohibit renting

Section 3 — Dwelling-Unit Duplexes

11 two-unit properties confirmed via detail page: 7 in Massachusetts, 4 in Rhode Island. Triple-deckers and three-plus-family buildings are excluded by rule; those correctly excluded this run are named under Coverage & Caveats.

Sharon MA — no confirmed active two-unit duplex. Rehoboth MA — confirmed duplex zero, verified across two source classes (a Homes.com multi-family search returning "no properties matching your criteria were found," and a cross-check establishing that the town's only two-family, 23 Colonial Way, Rehoboth MA, has been off market since 6/8/2026 with no relist). This is a genuine zero, not an under-searched gap.

No confirmed two-unit duplexes this run in Jamestown RI, Bonnet Shores or Saunderstown RI, or North Kingstown / Wickford RI. The Wickford RI zero came from a single source class (a Compass multi-family search returning zero) and, per the switch-source-class rule, is not yet a hard zero — it needs a Redfin or Zillow cross-check next run before it can be called one.
