Beverly, MA Real Estate Market Update — July 2026
What's Actually Happening in Beverly's Housing Market Right Now
A grounded look at pricing, inventory, and pace of sales in Beverly, MA — straight from the current data, no spin.
I live in North Beverly, so this isn't an abstract market to me — it's the one I drive through every day, and the one I get asked about at the coffee shop more than any other North Shore town. So instead of general talk about "the market," I want to walk you through what the actual numbers are showing in Beverly, MA right now, and what I think it means depending on whether you're buying or selling.
The Current Snapshot: Beverly, MA 01915
Here's the data as of this week, pulled directly from Altos Research, which is the same market-tracking tool I use with my own clients to gauge where things stand.
Beverly, MA 01915 market snapshot — Altos Research, week of July 8, 2026
The median list price in Beverly sits at $924,450 right now, down about $25,450 from where it was tracking recently. Homes are spending an average of 56 days on market, and there are 38 active listings — up three from last count. The Market Action Index, which is the metric Altos uses to measure the balance between buyers and sellers, is holding at 60.
A few of the other numbers tell an interesting side story. New listings are actually coming onto the market at a higher median price — $829,000, up about $91,550 — but those newer listings are taking longer to sell, with a median of 28 days on market, up seven days. Median rent in town is $4,250, and price per square foot is averaging $444.
What This Actually Means
Put simply: Beverly is cooling off a bit. There are more homes available than there were, buyer demand has eased slightly, and we're already seeing list prices adjust downward as a result. If that trend continues — especially if the Market Action Index drifts further toward what Altos classifies as a buyer's market — I'd expect to see prices soften a little more before things level out. On the flip side, if that index turns back upward, that's usually the first signal that pricing power is shifting back toward sellers.
This isn't a crash or a warning sign. It's a market doing what markets do — breathing in and out. But it does change the calculus depending on which side of the transaction you're on.
If You're Thinking About Selling in Beverly
A cooling market doesn't mean your home won't sell — it means pricing and presentation matter more than they did a year ago. With inventory ticking up, buyers have a bit more to compare against, so homes that are priced accurately and show well from day one are still moving. Homes that are priced optimistically are the ones sitting on the market and eventually chasing the price down. I'd rather help you get the number right from the start.
If You're Thinking About Buying in Beverly
This is a market where you can afford to be a little more deliberate. With 38 homes on the market and average days on market climbing, you're less likely to be forced into a rushed, no-contingency offer than you would have been a year or two ago. That said, well-prepared, move-in ready homes in good locations are still attracting attention quickly, so it still pays to have your financing lined up and be ready to move when the right one comes along.
One more thing worth saying: market data like this is a snapshot, not a guarantee. It shifts week to week, and the numbers for your specific street, condition, and price point can look meaningfully different from the town-wide average. If you want a real read on what your home would sell for, or what you could reasonably expect to find as a buyer in Beverly right now, that's a conversation, not a spreadsheet — and it's one I'm always glad to have.

As of early July 2026, Beverly is somewhere in between, trending slightly toward more balance than it's had in recent years. Inventory has ticked up and the Market Action Index has eased, but conditions can shift quickly, so it's worth checking current data before making a decision either way.
Prices move with supply and demand. When more homes come on the market at once, as we're currently seeing in Beverly, sellers have to be more competitive on price to attract offers, which shows up as a dip in the median list price even in a fundamentally healthy market.
Recent data shows an average of 56 days on market town-wide, though newer listings are currently trending closer to a 28-day median. Actual time on market varies significantly based on price point, condition, and location within Beverly.
As of this snapshot, the median list price in Beverly is $924,450. This figure moves regularly, so I'd recommend confirming current numbers or requesting a personalized comparative market analysis for the most accurate picture.
Not necessarily. A cooling market simply changes strategy — accurate pricing and strong presentation matter more. Waiting for a hotter market carries its own risks, including higher mortgage rates for your next purchase. It's worth discussing your specific timeline and goals before deciding.
The figures in this post come from Altos Research, a market analytics platform that tracks real-time listing and pricing data. I use this alongside MLS data and my own local knowledge when advising clients.
