The numbers: September and year to date

September only, compared with September 2025 (YoY):

September only	Sep 2025	Sep 2026	Change (YoY)
Active listings	154	172	+18 homes
Homes sold	27	36	+9 sales
Average sale price (one month, small sample)	$315,952	$337,811	not meaningful

January to September 2026 (YTD), compared with the same months of 2025:

January to September (YTD)	2025	2026	Change vs 2025
Active listings, average month	123	151	up 23%
Homes sold	346	347	up 0.3%
Average sale price	$304,861	$325,246	up 6.7%

These are two different views. September is one month. YTD adds up January to September. Average sale price is an average, not a median, so a few high or low sales can pull it.

A note on small numbers: Charlestown has only a few dozen sales in a month, or fewer. One or two sales can move a monthly percentage a lot, so this post leans on counts and on January to September totals.

Is Charlestown a buyer's or seller's market?

Short answer: a little more room for buyers than a year ago. Using the average month so far this year, there were about 3.9 months of supply, compared with 3.2 for the same months of 2025. Months of supply is how long it would take to sell every home for sale at the current pace. Lower usually favors sellers, and higher gives buyers more room. This describes the past. It doesn't predict what comes next.

What this means for buyers

• More choice, steady demand. There are more homes to look at, but other buyers are still buying at last year's pace.
• Compare a few homes before you write an offer.
• Ask questions. Costs, repairs and timing are fair to raise. The seller can say no.

What this means for sellers

• Demand is steady, but you have more competition. Price against the homes buyers will tour alongside yours.
• Use recent closed sales to set a price, not last year's highest sale.
