Supply and Demand: Norwood
Norwood is a small market, with 20 to 28 new listings a month, so the numbers swing month to month. Spring was the busy stretch, with pendings rising from 19 in April to 25 in June.
Summer was quieter on the buyer side, with 17 or 18 homes going under agreement each month from July through September. September brought 28 new listings, the most of any month since April, and inventory rose from 45 to 52.
Even so, Norwood has just 1.9 months of supply, a clear seller’s market. Single-family homes sold at a median of 101.7% of list in 19 days. Condos were slower, at 98.1% of list in 40 days, on only 15 sales.

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), Norfolk County data as of Oct 7, 2026. Deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Apr closings start Apr 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 Listings that were withdrawn or expired aren't in the export, so earlier months slightly undercount new listings and inventory.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.
