Quincy’s apartment rental market is looking tighter than ever as we approach the midway point of 2025.  Both apartment availability and vacancies are down by significant margins year-over-year and both figures are hovering at or below the 1% marker, indicating that renters are not seeing a lot of options in Quincy this year.  Despite the tight supply figures, rent prices have flat-lined in Quincy after a 3 year period of rapid rent price growth following the pandemic.  Here are the trends driving Quincy’s apartment rental market in 2025.

The current real-time availability rate (RTAR) for Quincy apartments is 1.13%.  That figure is down -31.52% year-over-year and up +68.66% over a two-year span.  Quincy does not see the same seasonal turnover as many Boston neighborhoods that are affected by the academic calendar.  Still, RTAR did spike slightly in Quincy during the spring and early summer in 2024 before dropping down during the fall months.

According to our real-time Quincy apartment data, the median days on market for an apartment in Quincy is 25 days.  This is very similar to the median days on market for Boston apartments (30 days) and is a sign that demand is still very strong in Quincy.

The average rent price in Quincy, MA is $2,339.  That figure is up +3.09% year-over-year and up +1.74% over a 2-year span.  Renting in Quincy is still significantly more affordable than that of the City of Boston, where the average rent price is $3,322.  For those commuting into the city, Quincy provides an affordable oasis from the soaring rent prices that have become typical in Boston’s core neighborhoods.

Prices for studio apartments in Quincy dropped by the largest margin year-over-year (-8.87%), while Quincy 3 bedrooms fell by -3.06% since last June.  One bedroom and two bedroom apartments in Quincy did not change by any significant margin, decreasing by -1.44% and increasing by +0.24% respectively.

It looks like Quincy’s apartment rental market may be headed towards a supply shortage as we look ahead to the second half of the year.  With both vacancy rates and apartment availability down to such low levels and the busy leasing months still ahead of us, look for both vacancies and availability to potentially bottom out below 1% during the fall months.

For that reason, we predict rent prices in Quincy to trend back upwards during the latter half of 2025.  Last year’s brief supply glut did well to flatten out rent prices, but it looks like that trend is in our rear-view mirror based on current supply figures.  Look for rent prices to finish the year up in the +4-6% range in Quincy as a result of tight supply.  We will continue to monitor these trends as they develop.
