Worcester's housing market saw fewer sales and higher prices in March, according to data from the Massachusetts Association of Realtors. The city recorded 48 closed sales, a 17 percent decrease from the previous year, and the median sales price rose 9.6 percent to $487,500. Despite this, inventory tightened, with 79 homes for sale down 14 percent year-over-year. This trend contrasts with the broader Massachusetts housing market, which saw a 4.4 percent increase in single-family homes and 1.2 percent decrease in condominium prices compared to March 2025. However, there are signs of renewed activity in listings, indicating a surge in activity in the spring market.
