Steady market in Stanford

STANFORD — The Town of Stanford posted another solid month in September, with five residential sales recorded — all under $1 million.

The median sale price climbed to a year-to-date high of $635,000, just shy of the historic peak of $640,000 set in August 2024. Three properties sold above the median and two fell below it.

By early November, however, the market had begun to show a typical seasonal slowdown, marked by no new listings, longer days on the market and price reductions on roughly half of active properties.

Mid-November inventory included 17 single-family homes, seven listed above $1 million and five priced below the current median of $635,000.
