As we move through the final months of 2025, the Lexington, MA real estate market continues to show healthy signs of balance with rising inventory, steady buyer demand, and strong home values that reinforce Lexington’s status as one of the most desirable communities in Greater Boston real estate.
Inventory Is Up, Giving Buyers More Choice
Active listings in Lexington are up 51% year-over-year, with 53 homes currently on the market compared to 35 this time last year .
That increase has pushed the months of supply from 1.6 to 2.3 months, a 44% jump, indicating that buyers finally have more breathing room after years of extremely tight inventory.
While Lexington remains a seller’s market (a balanced one is typically 4–6 months of supply), this is the first meaningful shift toward balance we’ve seen in several years which is great news for anyone exploring homes for sale in Lexington, MA or other Greater Boston neighborhoods.
For Sellers in Lexington: Home Prices Hold Strong
Despite more listings, prices remain firm. The median sale price climbed to $1.91 million, up 11% from last year’s $1.72 million, and the median sale price per square foot increased
to $584 .
This sustained growth reflects Lexington’s long-term desirability — driven by top-rated schools, walkable neighborhoods, and proximity to Boston.
Meanwhile, the median list price for active inventory has dipped from $2.95M to $2.65M (-10%) , showing that sellers are pricing more strategically to align with today’s more selective buyers.
Market Moving at a Healthier Pace
The median days on market increased slightly from 51 to 57 days, while overall sales activity remains steady .
This reflects a more balanced dynamic: well-priced homes are selling quickly, while overpriced listings take longer to find the right match.
Notably, price reductions are up 79% from last year — a sign that sellers are adjusting to meet the market rather than chasing last year’s peak pricing.
Market Insight:
Price reductions can rise even while homes sell for 100% of list price. Why? The sale-to-list ratio measures the final asking price after any reductions. Once sellers adjust to strategically approach the market, homes are still selling at full price or better. It’s a sign of a market that’s re-calibrating, not declining.
