October was slower than a year ago. Buyers took more time, and fewer paid above asking.

Source: MLS PIN single family sales in Amesbury MA, pulled November 3, 2026. Homes that sold from October 1 to 31 of each year. Typical means the middle home. Half sold for more, and half for less. Days count from listing to an accepted offer.

Here's the short version. In October 2026, 16 single family homes sold, up from 14 a year ago. The typical home got an accepted offer in about 27 days. In October 2025, it took about 18.

The typical October sale was about $630,000, down 11.4% from about $711,000 a year ago. About 31% of homes sold above the asking price, down from 57% a year ago.

On average, October homes sold for about 98.9% of the final asking price and 97.2% of the first asking price. The first asking price is where a home started. The final one is after any price change.

On November 3, 2026, you could choose from 22 single family homes for sale in Amesbury MA. Another 10 were under agreement or contingent.

Under agreement means a buyer and seller signed a deal that hasn't closed yet. Contingent means the deal still has a condition to clear, like a home inspection or a loan.

That's about 2.2 homes for sale for every home under agreement. You have homes to compare, and the good ones still move.

Of the homes for sale, 12 came on since October 4. 10 were priced below their first asking price. That's about 5 in 10 homes for sale. Sellers who started too high are adjusting, and buyers have room to talk on those homes.

This is a snapshot of one day. It changes every day, so ask for the newest count before you decide.

Two city items matter if you own a home here or hope to buy one.

• New homes planned at the old elementary school. The city is selling about 4 acres of the old elementary school site for housing. The land was rezoned for homes, and the plan allows up to 37 of them. The city keeps the other 10 or so acres for trails and open space. More homes there means more choices for buyers over the next few years.
• Curbside trash now needs a sticker. The city started a curbside trash sticker program on October 1, 2026. If you're moving to Amesbury MA, check the city's notice before your first pickup.

Price is always your choice. Before you choose, I walk you through three facts, in this order. First, what sellers near you accepted lately, for how much, and why they chose that buyer. Second, every home for sale in your price range, so we know how yours can stand out. Third, the accurate similar sales from the last 30 days.
