Pending ratio: 39%. About 3-4 out of every 10 homes for sale are finding a buyer — a buyer's market. Most homes are still waiting for a buyer. Expect it to take longer and price to stand out. Homes that sold took about 28 days to sell, which is fast.

Does the 04038 Market Pulse tell me what my home is worth?

The ZIP-level Market Pulse shown here is from 2026-10-18. RealSights takes new snapshots every Sunday, and the city and other ZIP reports may show different dates.
What should buyers watch in 04038?
Keep an eye on available inventory, pending activity, days on market, and price reductions — and compare nearby ZIP reports. Homes sitting longer may offer more flexibility, but protect your inspection, appraisal, and financing terms. A market score never guarantees a discount.
What should sellers watch in 04038?
Price against current nearby competition and recent closed sales, and watch how quickly homes go under contract. The Gorham report adds broader context, but it's not a home valuation.
