The median single-family sale was $445,000, down 5.3% from $470,000 last summer, while price per square foot rose 14.3% to $295, so the lower median reflects which homes sold more than falling values. The typical home sold for 101.5% of its list price, with a median of 25 days on market, compared with 23 last year. More sales included a seller concession: 26% compared with 14%.
For context, from April through June the median single-family sale was $452,000, and 70% of homes sold over asking.
Right now, as of October 1, 2026: 16 single-family homes are for sale and another 12 are under agreement. That's roughly 1.5 months of supply, still a seller's market. Six of the 16 active listings have already cut their price, and new listings were up 25.0% this summer, so buyers have more to choose from than last year.
Condominiums
Leicester's condo market is small: 3 condos sold this summer compared with 5 last summer. That's too few to read a reliable price trend. As of October 1, 2026, there are 2 condos for sale and 1 under agreement.
