Source: MLS PIN, single-family listings, 1–31 July 2026. Sale-to-list is median sale price divided by median list price; because each is a separate median this approximates, rather than equals, the median sale-to-list ratio of individual homes. Condominiums and multi-family properties are not included. Information deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
What this means if you’re selling in Methuen
In July 2026, the median single-family home in Methuen sold for $570,000 against a median list price of $570,000 — about 100.0% of asking. Measured against the original asking price, sellers achieved 96.6%.
That second figure is the one worth pausing on. Methuen was the only town in this report where the median sale came in below the original asking price. Homes matched their list price — but only after that list price had been reduced. It is a textbook illustration of what overpricing costs: the market did not reward the higher opening number, it simply took longer to get to the real one.
On pace, half of these homes were under agreement within 9 days, with a median 23 days on market. That is slower than the fastest towns in this report, which gives buyers more room to consider and negotiate. Presentation and pricing discipline carry more weight here than in tighter markets.
The median home was 1,843 sq ft, selling at $313.33 per square foot against a list rate of $299.33. 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 27 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 Methuen, 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.
