What's Happening in the Georgetown MA Housing Market in October 2026?

The real Georgetown MA market isn't in the headlines. It's in the homes going pending this week.

You may have heard that home prices in Georgetown MA jumped this summer. You may also have heard they're flat. Both can be true at once, and the reason matters for you.

If you're stuck on which one to believe, you aren't alone. Owners want to know what their home is worth now. Buyers want to know if they're about to overpay.

Every number below comes from MLS PIN, the shared listing system for Massachusetts. I pulled every single family sale in Georgetown MA on October 16, 2026. Here's what those sales show.

Homes still got an accepted offer in under three weeks, and 2 in 3 sold above asking.

What's happening in the Georgetown MA housing market right now?

Homes here still sold fast this summer, at about the same speed as last summer. The typical summer price jumped, while the full year stayed close to flat.

Source: MLS PIN single family sales in Georgetown MA, run October 16, 2026. July 1 to September 30 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. From July to September 2026, 26 single family homes sold, down from 30 a year ago. The typical home got an accepted offer in about 19 days, the same as last year. It sold for about $860,000, up 10.3% from about $780,000.

Under agreement means a buyer and seller signed a deal that hasn't closed yet. The days in the table run from the day a home was listed to that signed deal. With about 25 sales a quarter, one large or small home can move the numbers, so read them as a guide.

Are homes in Georgetown MA selling above the asking price?

Yes, most of them. From January 1 to October 16, 2026, about 67% of homes sold above the asking price, up from 64%.

On average, homes sold for about 103.2% of the final asking price this year, up from 102.4%. Compared with the first asking price, they sold for about 101.5%, up from 100.9%.

This summer alone, about 58% sold above asking. That's a little lower than last summer's 63%, with about the same average over the price.

Are home prices going down in Georgetown MA?

No. Over the full year, prices are about flat, and the price per square foot is up.

From January 1 to October 16, 2026, the typical sale price was about $765,000, close to about $775,000 a year ago. The average was about $805,000, almost the same as about $803,000. The typical price per square foot rose 3.1%, from about $356 to about $367.

So why did the summer jump 10.3%? The homes that sold from July to September were a different mix. When more larger homes sell in one quarter, the typical price climbs with them.

If you own a home here, your street can tell a different story than the town. Ask for the sales closest to you.

How long do homes take to sell in Georgetown MA in 2026?

Under three weeks to an accepted offer. From January 1 to October 16, 2026, the typical home got one in about 19 days, the same as last year.

The bigger change is how many homes sold. So far this year, 60 homes sold, down 17.8% from 73. Buyers who bought here this year had fewer homes to choose from.

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

Prices are up about 26.2% since 2021, and bidding has calmed down from 2021.

What does this mean if you're buying in Georgetown MA?

Good homes here still go fast, so being ready matters more than waiting.

• Plan on about 19 days from the day a home is listed to an accepted offer. The best homes go sooner.
• About 1 in 3 homes this year sold at or below the price the seller was asking. A home that's been for sale a while may give you room to talk.
• Have your lender run your numbers before you tour, so you can write an offer the day you find the one.

Many buyers who start their search in Andover MA or Newburyport MA end up in Georgetown MA. They love it once they see a house they're proud of at a payment they feel good about.

What does this mean if you're selling in Georgetown MA?

Most homes here still sell above asking, in under three weeks. Your buyer is comparing yours to the homes they can tour this week.

• The first few weeks matter most. The typical home got an accepted offer in about 19 days.
• A summer sale price can swing with the mix of homes that sold. Look at sales on your own street, not only the town number.
• Presentation and preparation matter. Fix what a buyer will notice first.

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.

Why don't last spring's sales tell you your price today?

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.

That's why this page leans on the newest numbers, pulled October 16, 2026. Ask for the newest sales on your own street in Georgetown MA before you choose your price.
