Supply and Demand: Hopkinton
Hopkinton is a small market, with 21 to 24 new listings a month and 13 to 23 homes going under agreement, so the numbers swing month to month. August was the busiest month for buyers: 24 new listings and 23 pendings.
September was slower on the buyer side. 21 homes came on and 13 went pending. Total inventory went from 53 in July to 65 in August and 63 in September.
With 1.9 months of supply, it’s still a seller’s market. Single-family homes sold at a median of 100.5% of list in 21 days. Condos sold at 99.2% of list after a median of 49 days, so condo buyers have more time and 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 Listings that were withdrawn or expired aren't in the export, so earlier months slightly undercount new listings and inventory.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.

How does the Boston Marathon affect Hopkinton?
The race starts near the Town Common every Patriots’ Day in April. Roads around the start, including Main Street, close early that morning and other roads into downtown close soon after. The town posts closure details and detour maps before each race, so plan showings and moves around that day.
