In October 2026, 17 single family homes sold in North Andover MA. That matches the 17 from October 2025. About 65% of them sold above the asking price, up from 41% a year ago.

On average, sellers got about 102.2% of their final asking price. Last October it was about 100.8%. Homes got an accepted offer in about 20 days, up from 16.

The median price fell to about $915,000 from about $950,000. The median is the price in the middle. With only 17 sales, a few higher or lower priced houses can move it. So don't read too much into one month. If you look at price per square foot, you see a different story. It rose to $379 from $307.

From January 1 to November 3, 2026, the median sale price was about $1,000,000. That's up 5.8% from about $945,000 in the same stretch of 2025. The average sale price was about $1,017,000, up 3.6% from about $982,000.

Fewer homes sold this year, 148 instead of 165. Buyers still paid more for the ones that did, so you don't need to panic over one month. From August through October, prices held up too, with a median of about $955,000.

Sellers still have the edge, but buyers have more say on some homes.

From January 1 to November 3, sellers got about 103.8% of the asking price on average. About 66% of homes sold above it. If you're selling, that's good news for you.

At the same time, 12 homes for sale today have lowered their price. If you're buying, those sellers may be more open to talking with you. A well priced home still gets a fast yes. A home that started too high often waits.

Two local stories matter to you if you own a home here or plan to buy one.

The new tax rate is coming. The Select Board set a public hearing for Monday, November 2, 2026, at Town Hall. At this hearing, the board picks how the tax bill is split between homes and businesses for the year that started July 1, 2026. That choice shapes your tax bill. The new rate wasn't posted when I checked on November 3, so watch for it this fall and check your bill when it comes. Details are in the town newsbrief for the week of November 2, 2026.

A new Kittredge School is on the way. At Town Meeting on May 12, 2026, voters approved a new Kittredge Elementary School, the Eagle-Tribune reported. The town lists the total cost at $79.8 million. The state school building agency expects to pay back about $29.2 million. The town said a separate ballot vote to raise taxes wasn't needed. It plans to pay its share with tax money from Amazon's property in town. Bidding could start as early as summer 2027, and students could move in for the 2029 to 2030 school year. Read the town's notice on the Kittredge School article.
