Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Mar 2026 - May 2026).
Needham’s rolling three-month data through May 2026 shows a pickup in inventory and buyer activity at the same time. Active listings are up about 7% year over year to 198, while homes sold have edged higher by nearly 4% and pending sales have climbed almost 16%, signaling solid contract flow.
Pricing over this period has cooled modestly compared with a year ago. The typical home value is down just under 5% year over year and the median list price is about 7% lower, suggesting sellers are adjusting expectations as more options come to market.
Market pace has shifted as well, with months of supply up nearly 12% year over year to 3.1, even as the median days on market has moved to 20 days. With about 42% of homes still selling above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio hovering just over 100%, buyers and sellers can both benefit from an expert local agent, and Agent Pronto can help them find the right one.

“Sarah Rodewald was excellent, especially with being a first time home buyer. She was friendly and responsive when I had questions or concerns.

“Len went above and beyond during the whole process of selling my mother's home. He was kind, considerate, compassionate and extremely helpful, during an especially stressful time. I would definitely recommend him without hesitation.”

“I can't thank John Dean enough for handing the sale of my home. John's knowledge of the industry and the area was exceptional. He kept me informed of all the issues and guided me with decisions that had to be made. He offered to make several trips to the house to meet and coordinate the inspections and other people that assisted me with the move. Not being available to make it to the property for various reasons being the distance and caring for a disabled husband, John saved me from having to be there. John was there to manage everything for me. If you need a professional agent, look no further than John Dean.”

“I interviewed several Realtors, and none of them asked the thoughtful questions that Katherine did to better understand my needs. She also demonstrated a deep knowledge of the Boston program I was using for financing, and her years of experience working in and around Boston was key. But more than anything else, we got along really well in our initial meeting and she had my full trust almost as soon as the process began.”
LAER Realty Partners
“He was honest enough to direct us away from one of the homes that we looked at because of the horrible basement there. He also showed us at least 5+ homes before we settled on the one we're living in now.”

“Can't recommend Smita enough - she is extremely knowledgeable, is well aware of the ins and outs of the local market, and will always guide you towards the best decision based on your requirements. Smita played a huge role in helping me and my wife find our dream home. Being first-time homeowners, we didn't know where to start, but Smita did great due diligence researching individual properties and analyzing local market trends. Before we went to see a property, we had all the links and documents we needed to learn about the property which was immensely helpful in making an informed decision. Smita was always available for us which made the whole process very smooth for us. My wife and I highly recommend Smita and would to work with her again.”

“We were referred to Michelle by a friend. She knows Newton and the surrounding areas; she knows real estate; she knows everyone associated with real estate, including mortgage brokers, inspectors, and insurance agents. Michelle is very professional but also personable. She has a knack for explaining markets trends and is skilled at reading the psychological aspects of an offer/counter-offer. She was extremely responsive and helped us buy an incredible house in a great location - in the hottest market in history! In short, I recommend Michelle with great enthusiasm. She is the absolute best.”

“Elena is one of a kind just like how she found my perfect home for me in West Boylston, Massachusetts. I am from San Diego, California and never would have imagined to own a home in central Massachusetts but she opened my eyes to a beautiful town of West Boylston and provided great statistical feedback to help me make my decision. I am happy with my decision and a lot of it comes from a skilled and professional agent such as Elena. Highly recommend her.”
Keller Williams Boston Metrowest
“I found Lyn through an online realtor search. She called me right away and I was impressed with her grasp of our complex situation: we were buying a house for us and my mother in law and selling our home as well as my mother inlaw’s home in NJ. Lyn gave us great advice at every turn of this long and sometimes arduous journey!! So glad we hooked up with her from the start! She worked so hard for us!! When our first buyers lost their financing she said she wanted to have an open house every weekend until we got another buyer and she did it! We didn’t deal directly with other century 21 staff but I know Lyn consulted with others from her group at times. It was reassuring to know there was a whole team on our side working for our common goal. Lyn was so professional and reliable; it was truly a pleasure working with her.”
