A Closer Look at the Data

The numbers you see are the towns' rankings statewide, the median sales price in July 2026, and the percentage increase in home prices compared with July 2025

Note that these are not average home prices, but median prices.

An average is the total of all the home prices added together and then divided by how many homes were sold.

A median price is the exact middle number when you line all the home prices up from smallest to largest.
