Medford at a glance

  • Population: 59,659 (2020 Census).
  • 25,770 housing units, 5.3% vacant (2020 Census).
  • Area: 8.66 square miles, with Tufts University on the Medford and Somerville border.

Housing and what it means when you sell

Medford has older single-family neighborhoods, multi-family houses and condos. A nearby university means a large rental market, which can matter for landlord sales.

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 We do not publish an estimate of any individual home's value.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

Medford publishes property assessments online through its assessor's Vision database. Use it to check your own property record for errors before you list or accept an offer.

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 Medford

  • 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.
