Single-Family Homes
| MA Single-Family Homes | March 2025 | March 2026 | % Change 2025-2026 |
| Single-Family Home Sales | 2,463 | 2,660 | 8% |
| YTD Single-Family Sales | 7,242 | 6,937 | -4.2% |
| Median Single-Family Home Price | $600,000 | $600,000 | 0% |
| YTD Median Single-Family Home Price | $589,900 | $600,000 | 1.7% |
There were 2,660 single-family home sales in Massachusetts in March, an 8 percent increase from March 2025, when there were 2,463 transactions. Meanwhile, the median single-family home price was unchanged at $600,000.
There were 6,937 single-family home sales in the first three months of 2026, a 4.2 percent decrease from 2025. The median single-family home sale price increased 1.7 percent on the same basis to $600,000.
“The market in January or February when these purchases went under agreement was remarkably slow, due to some truly nasty weather in those months,” said Cassidy Norton, Associate Publisher and Media Relations Director of The Warren Group. “That resulted in fewer closed sales in March. Realtors report inventory continued to grow in March and April, buoyed by sales delayed by the weather as well as the beginning of the traditional spring market.”
Condominiums
| MA Condominiums | March 2025 | March 2026 | % Change 2025-2026 |
| Condominium Sales | 1,388 | 1,303 | -6.1% |
| YTD Condominium Sales | 3,654 | 3,331 | -8.8% |
| Median Condominium Price | $542,000 | $504,000 | -7% |
| YTD Median Condominium Price | $530,000 | $505,000 | -4.7% |
There were 1,303 condominium sales in March 2026, compared to 1,388 in March 2025 – a 6.1 percent decrease. Meanwhile, the median condo sale price decreased 7 percent on a year-over-year basis to $504,000, down from $542,000 in March 2025.
There were 3,331 condominium sales in the first three months of 2026, an 8.8 percent decrease from 2025, in which there were 3,654. Meanwhile, the year-to-date median sale price was $505,000, a 4.7 percent decrease from 2025, when it was $530,000.
“The condo market continues to slide,” Norton continued. “The number of sales and the median sale prices dropped for both the month and the year. This could be a sign that the condo market is beginning to stabilize – or it may be due to more volatile factors that will change in the coming months. Future sales this spring will help round out that picture.”
