Redfin's June 2026 median sale price ran approximately $639,652 (+0.7% YoY) -- less than half of Brookline's or Wellesley's figures documented elsewhere in this batch, a real, substantial cost-of-living advantage for buyers prioritizing affordability within Greater Boston's broader housing market.
A comparable tax rate, producing a genuinely lower dollar bill
Weymouth's FY2026 residential rate ($10.12/1000) runs comparable to Brookline's and Wellesley's, but Weymouth's lower home values mean the resulting average dollar tax bill runs substantially lower.
Massachusetts's statewide tax structure applies
Massachusetts's real flat 5% state income tax (with an additional 4% surtax above $1,107,750 of taxable income) and 6.25% sales tax apply in Weymouth exactly as documented statewide -- see this project's Massachusetts state hub record.
