The Framingham market right now
Median prices and days on market cover closings from Jul–Sep 2026. Listing counts are as of Oct 7, 2026.
Supply and Demand: Framingham
Framingham has the steadiest demand of my seven towns: 52 to 54 closings every month and 45 to 58 homes going under agreement.
New listings outran pendings in each of the three months (226 new against 149 pending), so total inventory climbed from 136 to 184.
At 2.5 months of supply it's still a seller's market. Single-family homes sold at a median of 101.3% of list in 17 days. Condos sold at 98.1% of list, so condo buyers have a bit more room to negotiate.

How to read it: New Listings counts homes listed that month. Total Active Inventory is everything on the market at the start of the month plus that month's new listings, so it counts every home a buyer could have seen that month. Went Pending counts homes that went under agreement, by offer date. Closed counts sales that recorded that month. All property types (single-family, condo and multi-family) are included.
Source: MLS Property Information Network, Inc. (MLS PIN), Middlesex County data as of Oct 7, 2026. Deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Jul closings start Jul 7, so they're a few days short. Listings that were withdrawn or expired aren't in the export, so earlier months slightly undercount new listings and inventory. The latest month's pending count will rise as recent listings go under agreement. Medians based on small numbers of sales can swing month to month.
