Home prices are hitting new highs in Weston and even nearing peak territory in Burlington.

And while home values in some of the other affluent western suburbs along Route 128 dropped over the past year, most remain a mere 10 percent or so from record numbers reached before the last recession.

But the same can’t be said for real estate values along the Interstate 495 corridor, which in some towns are 40 to 50 percent off their 2005/2006 peak.
