Market snapshot
Redfin’s January trend line continued to point to a competitive market. One way that shows up is pricing on a smaller scale: Redfin reported a $301 median sale price per square foot (+7.5% YoY).
On the valuation side, Zillow’s typical value estimate for the area was about $541K (data through January 31, 2026). Zillow also indicated homes were going pending in around 18 days, reinforcing the idea that well-positioned homes can still attract fast attention even in a winter window.
Development & next steps
On the local process front, the town’s agenda center shows Planning Board meetings posted for February 17, 2026, and March 3, 2026, with the February 3 meeting marked cancelled. Those packets are often where upcoming site plan and subdivision discussions first appear, so they can be a useful early signal for anyone tracking future housing activity.
Looking at listings
For buyers and renters, it may help to watch for new construction, condo/townhome inventory, and multi-family options as they hit the market, especially when overall supply is limited. For sellers, the combination of higher year-over-year pricing and relatively quick turn times can be a reminder that preparation and timing still matter.
