Located about 15 miles northwest of the city of Boston, the Middlesex County town of Bedford had a population of around 13,300 at the time of the 2010 U.S. Census. This makes it one of the smaller communities in the state, but it is still large enough to have plenty of variety and lots of options. One thing to be aware of from the outset is that property values here are very high—almost twice that of the state average. With that aside, the market has a lot to offer, and there are plenty of single-family homes up for grabs most of the time.

The median list price for homes for sale in this town, which is bordered by several communities, including Concord, Carlisle, Lexington and Billerica, is around $739,000. By comparison, the average list price for homes across the state of MA is $419,000. The median sale price across the state, $356,000, is also far lower than that of Bedford, which is $653,000. If you prefer to compare prices based on price per square foot, note that the average price per square foot in MA is $242 while the average price per square foot for real estate here is $328.

At any particular time, there are usually around 30 residential properties on the market in Bedford. Due to their value and other variables, they don’t tend to sell very quickly. Indeed, the average number of days that real estate sits on the market here is 37, which is a lot longer than in many markets. It is to your advantage as a buyer, though, as it means that sellers are often more receptive to negotiating. You can make the most of this by getting a referral for a local agent from us, as they can help get you the best price possible.

Altogether, the town of Bedford has around 5,130 residential properties. Of that total, around 62 percent are single-family homes, around 10 percent are condos or townhouses and around 28 percent are apartments. Across the town, roughly 69 percent of residential properties are owned, around 31 percent are rented and about 4 percent are vacant. If you are looking to rent instead of buy, note that rent prices here tend to be steep. Across the state, the average monthly rent is $2,500; here, it is around $2,665.

Regardless of what type of property you’re looking for—or whether you will be buying or renting-- Boston City Properties is here to help. The kind of help that we can offer varies depending on the type of property that you need, so here’s some relevant information:

• Single-family homes – Given that around 62 percent of the roughly 5,100 residential properties in Bedford are single-family homes, this is one of the easiest kinds of property to find here. As mentioned before, however, prices for detached family homes here tend to be far higher than average. They span many sizes, ages and designs, however, so you don’t have to worry about a lack of variety.
• Condos and townhouses – Approximately 10 percent of properties in this town fall into this classification. If you do the math, this means that only around 50 are found in this town, so it may be difficult to find precisely what you’re after. Having assistance from an experienced local agent who knows the area well helps enormously, and we can refer you to someone who is sure to make a big difference in your search. Note that our database includes listings for condos and townhouses for sale and for rent. The latter are especially scarce, but you’re more likely to find them with our help.
• Apartments – Almost 30 percent of residential real estate in Bedford is classified as apartments, so if you need to rent a unit, you should be able to do so without too much trouble. Unfortunately, however, renting here isn’t any more affordable than buying in many cases, as the average rent is around $2,665 per month. Boston City Properties’ database includes listings for apartments for rent in cities and towns across the state, including Bedford, so it’s among the best and most accurate ways to check current availability.
