These are the highest-priced home sales reported in the Boston metro area for the week ending October 18, 2026, and together they came to a combined $40.814 million.
Four of the five were condominiums in Boston, in South Boston and on Beacon Hill, and the fifth was a single-family home on the coast in Cohasset, the one sale in Norfolk County. The group spans more than a century of building, from a converted carriage house to homes finished this year.
No. 1 — $13,575,000 · 1 Harbor Shore Dr #Penthouse 2a, Boston, Massachusetts
The week’s top sale was a penthouse at 1 Harbor Shore Drive in South Boston, which sold for $13,575,000. The condominium was built in 2026 and has three bedrooms and five bathrooms, four full and one half, in 2,965 square feet.
Much of its appeal is outdoors and in the light. The penthouse has its own roof deck and a terrace, and residents also share a common roof deck. Inside are a study, sunny rooms with views, central air conditioning and an in-unit washer and dryer.
The penthouse went under contract 14 days after it was listed and sold for $75,000 above its $13.5 million asking price. Michael T Moynihan of The Collaborative Companies was the listing agent and also listed the No. 2 sale of the week, another residence at the same address, giving the brokerage the top two sales in this Top 5.
