π‘ Wakefield Market Update | JanuaryβApril 2026 π
The Wakefield market continues to stay active heading through the busy spring season. Whether youβre looking to buy, sell, or invest, understanding the numbers gives you the advantage.
π Market Snapshot:
β’ 76 homes sold YTD
β’ Average sale price: $894,000
β’ Average days on market: 25.9
β’ Absorption rate: 1.6 months
What does this mean?
π₯ Sellers are still benefiting from low inventory and strong buyer demand. An absorption rate over 20% favors sellers. In Wakefield, our current absorption rate is 62.5% which means that we sell that much of our inventory every single month. Meaning that if no new homes were listed, the entire current inventory will completely sell out and just 1.6 months.
π Buyers are seeing opportunities as days on market improve compared to last year, and as we move to a more balanced market.
πΌ Investors continue to watch Wakefield closely as demand remains steady in one of the North Shoreβs most desirable communities.
