Tight
Median single-family sale prices generally sit in the high-$300,000s, with most activity between roughly $280,000 and $550,000. Restored homes in the historic district can command a meaningful premium.
The housing stock is unusually varied, ranging from eighteenth-century colonials to postwar Capes and ranches. Well-presented homes frequently sell within two to three weeks.
Appreciation has been steady rather than dramatic, and inventory is consistently tight in the most accessible price ranges, where buyer competition is strongest.
