In 2025, the real estate markets in Winchester, Lexington, and Arlington have all experienced notable shifts marked by rising home prices and declining sales volume. Winchester saw the sharpest drop in number of sales, down 35.71%, while its average sale price surged by 11.07% to nearly $2 million. Similarly, Lexington experienced a 30.43% decline in sales, but prices rose 9.17% year-over-year, with the average home now selling for over $2 million. Arlington followed suit with a 28.08% reduction in transaction volume, though its price growth was more modest at 3.06%. These figures suggest tight inventory and sustained buyer demand, particularly in Winchester and Lexington.

Another significant trend is the reduction in average days on market (DOM) across all three towns, indicating that homes are selling faster in 2025 than they did in 2024. Lexington led this shift with a dramatic 43.47% drop in DOM, now averaging just 22 days. Winchester and Arlington also saw meaningful decreases of 15.71% and 27.92%, respectively. Additionally, price per square foot increased in all three markets—up 7.99% in Winchester, 4.90% in Lexington, and 3.41% in Arlington—highlighting ongoing competitive pressure among buyers. Altogether, these trends reflect a seller-friendly environment with fewer listings, higher prices, and quicker sales.
