Lowell Housing Market Report

What this means if you’re selling in Lowell

In July 2026, the median single-family home in Lowell sold for $577,500 against a median list price of $557,425 — about 103.6% of asking. Measured against the original asking price, sellers achieved 101.9%.

Sellers held 101.9% of their original asking price, so the list prices being set in Lowell are broadly matching what buyers will actually pay.

On pace, half of these homes were under agreement within 6 days, with a median 20 days on market. That is quick. In a market moving at this speed, a correctly priced home does not sit — so when a listing does linger, it is very rarely the market that is responsible.

The median home was 1,585.5 sq ft, selling at $357.42 per square foot against a list rate of $346.30. Treat price per square foot as orientation only — it varies enormously by neighbourhood, condition, age and lot, which is exactly why a town-wide figure cannot value a specific house.

These are medians across 26 listings, so they describe the middle of the market rather than any individual home. A free valuation is the way to find out where yours actually sits.

Methodology

Figures are drawn from MLS PIN for single-family listings in Lowell, Massachusetts covering 1–31 July 2026. Condominiums and multi-family properties are excluded. Every figure is a median rather than an average, so it is not distorted by one unusually high or low sale. Sale-to-list is median sale price divided by median list price; because each is a separate median it approximates rather than equals the median sale-to-list ratio of individual homes. Information deemed reliable but not guaranteed, and not a substitute for a valuation of a specific property.
