Malden at a glance

  • Population: 66,263 (2020 Census).
  • 27,721 housing units, 6.1% vacant (2020 Census).
  • About 47.2% of housing units were owner-occupied and 52.8% renter-occupied.

Housing and what it means when you sell

Malden has more renters than owners, and a lot of its housing is in multi-family buildings. That matters when you sell: many two- and three-families are bought by owner-occupants and by investors, and tenant leases may affect timing.

For context, the Massachusetts Department of Revenue reports a statewide average single-family assessed value of $742,986 and average single-family tax bill of $8,113 for FY2026 (346 reporting communities as of February 2026). Assessed value is not sale price. Source.

For a real recent-sales picture, ask a local agent for a comparable-sales report from MLS PIN, the multiple listing service used in Massachusetts. We do not publish an estimate of any individual home's value.

Local logistics

The Malden Fire Department handles the smoke and carbon monoxide certificate. If your property has tenants, review lease terms and notice rules with an attorney before scheduling showings or inspections.

Massachusetts also requires a smoke and carbon monoxide alarm certificate from the local fire department at sale, and a lead paint notification for homes built before 1978.

Your options in Malden

  • Cash or as-is offer. Faster and simpler, usually for less than a listing would bring. See the honest math.
  • List with a local agent. Usually the highest price if the house is in decent shape and you can wait.
  • Cleanout and prep first. JUNKRUN's estate cleanout serves this area and is a separate business.
