Price Distribution

Price Trends

Median sale price came in at $355,450 for the period, down 7.4% from the prior stretch's $384,000, while the average sale price reached $417,412 across 274 closings. Price per square foot edged up 2% to a median of $215.60, and the median sale-to-list ratio held at 100%, suggesting that while headline prices softened, sellers who priced realistically were still meeting their asking figures.

Inventory & Supply

Active listings stood at 217 by period's end, up 48.6% from the previous period, pushing months of supply to 6.3 — a 5% increase and a level consistent with buyer's market conditions. New listings also rose sharply, up 50.7% to 410, giving buyers meaningfully more homes to consider than they had a few months earlier.

Pace of Sales

Average days on market fell to 29.76, a 46% drop from the prior period's 55.08 days, pointing to a market that is still moving homes efficiently even as inventory has grown. Median days on market was just 7, a reminder that a share of listings continue to move very quickly while others take considerably longer, which widens the gap between the two figures. Sell-through stood at 66.8%, with an absorption rate of 15.82%.

Property Type & Price Segment Highlights

Houses drove most of the activity, with 264 sales and a relatively tight 2.4 months of supply, while townhomes saw just 7 sales against 35.4 months of supply, a notably slower-moving segment. Transaction volume was concentrated in the $300,000–$450,000 range, which accounted for 177 sales, while the sub-$300,000 and $600,000–$750,000 bands each carried under one month of supply, indicating tighter conditions at those price points.

New Construction

New construction made up 56.3% of new listings in Lowell during the period, with a median year built of 2025 across the market, reflecting the significant role newly built homes are playing in current inventory levels.
