October was mixed. Some numbers went up and some went down, so it helps to look at each one.

Source: MLS PIN single family sales in Andover 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, 22 single family homes sold, down from 27 a year ago. The typical home got an accepted offer in about 20 days. In October 2025, it took about 19.

The typical October sale was about $1,119,000, down 6.8% from about $1,200,000 a year ago. About 77% of homes sold above the asking price, up from 67% a year ago.

On average, October homes sold for about 101.7% of the final asking price and 101.1% 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 58 single family homes for sale in Andover MA. Another 19 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 3.1 homes for sale for every home under agreement. You have homes to compare, and the good ones still move.

Of the homes for sale, 20 came on since October 4. 23 were priced below their first asking price. That's about 4 in 10. Most homes for sale still have their first price.

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

If you're buying, you'll want your numbers ready before you tour. If you're selling, your first few weeks count most.

So far in 2026, about 67% of homes sold above the asking price, up from 63% a year ago. In October alone, it was about 77%.

On average this year, homes sold for about 103.4% of the final asking price. Even against the first asking price, they averaged about 102.5%. Homes that came on at a price buyers liked often got more.

Two housing projects moved forward in October. Both could mean more homes to choose from over the next few years.

• The old town yard is becoming homes. On October 22, 2026, the town closed the $4.5 million sale of the former town yard at 11 Lewis Street, near the train station. The buyer is part of Minco Development of North Andover MA. The plan calls for 165 homes, some shop space and public open space, done by May 2029.
• A big apartment plan got the Select Board's support. In late October, the board voted 4 to 1 to back 334 apartments at 300 Minuteman Park, with 84 set aside as affordable. It still needs state review and a permit from the Zoning Board of Appeals before anything gets built.

If you own a home near either site, ask how the plans could change traffic on your street. If you're buying, keep an eye on both. New homes can take some pressure off prices in town.

You have a little more breathing room as the year winds down. You still need to be ready.

• You have 58 homes for sale to look at today, and 23 of them have lowered their price. Those sellers may be open to talking.
• Good homes still go fast. The typical home this year got an accepted offer in about 20 days.
• Have your lender run your numbers before you tour, so you can write an offer the day you find the one.

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.

Because buyers' payments change when mortgage rates move. A sale from six months ago only helps you if it's adjusted for what your buyer can pay now.
