One number in the Westford report jumps off the page, and it is easy to read it wrong. The latest MLS PIN Area Market Review data, covering year to date through November 10, 2026 and compared with the same period in 2025, shows the median single family price down from last year. Before anyone calls that a slide, look at everything around it: sales are up, homes are still selling over list price, and supply is still tight. This is a mix shift, not a downturn.
Single Family: More Sales, Different Mix
Westford single family sales total 161 year to date, up 11 percent from 145 last year. The median sale price is $900,000, down from $1,010,000 last year, while the average sale price is $1,013,081. The median moved because of the mix of homes that sold this year: fewer of the very top-end sales pull the middle number down even while individual homes hold their value. The proof is in the behavior. Westford homes are still selling at about 101 percent of list price, there are only 29 homes on the market, and supply sits at 1.92 months. Weak markets do not sell over asking.
Condos: A Hard Slowdown in Volume
Westford condos tell a different story. Sales total 40 year to date, down sharply from 68 last year, at a median price of $621,750. There are only 5 condos on the market in Westford right now, with 1.36 months of supply, so the slowdown is not a flood of listings. It is a thin segment getting thinner, where each individual sale carries more weight and pricing has to be precise.
Multifamily and Rentals
Westford multifamily is effectively absent this year: 0 sales year to date in 2026, with only 1 sale in the last 12 months. On the rental side, 26 leases have been signed, down from 45 last year, at a median rent of $3,050, the highest median rent in this group of Greater Lowell towns. Westford rentals remain a premium segment even with fewer leases closing.
What It Means
Westford sellers should ignore the median headline and price their own home against its own comparable sales, because buyers are still paying over list for the right properties. Westford buyers have a rare bit of room in the single family segment, but not much, and almost none in condos.
