STANFORD — Median home prices in Stanford are rising again, with the 12-month trailing median sale price up 14% from a year ago.

The median price for a single-family home in the Town of Stanford was $675,000 for the period from March 1, 2025, through Feb. 28, 2026.

That figure was up from the $590,500 median recorded for the 12-month-period ending Feb. 28, 2025, and up 57% from the $430,000 median recorded in 2023–24. The highest 12-month trailing median price in Stanford over the past decade was $712,500, reached in November 2025.

The number of single-family home sales in Stanford, measured on a 12-month trailing basis, remains on the lower end of its three-year range of 30 to 45 sales annually — well below the pace seen in early 2021, when 80 homes sold in the first six months of the year.

A total of 32 homes were sold in the 12 months ending Feb. 28, 2026, down from 44 sales in the prior 12-month period but up from 29 sales in the 12 months ending Feb. 28, 2024.

Inventory remains limited. As of mid-April, seven single-family homes were on the market. Six were listed above $1 million, with just one priced below that level at $459,000. By comparison, only two parcels of land were listed for sale on the MLS, priced at $275,000 and $300,000.
