Town Overview

With its location roughly 29 miles south-southwest of the city of Boston, this Bristol County town is convenient for people who work in the city or just around the local area. Covered mostly by the 02375 zip code, the town had a population of around 23,000 people at the time of the 2010 U.S. Census. Therefore, it is large enough to support a fairly eclectic property market. At any given time, you’re sure to find dozens of listings in our database for properties for sale and for rent in this community.

Bordered by a number of communities, including West Bridgewater, Brockton, Sharon, Mansfield and Taunton, this town is split up into several distinct neighborhoods. From Daley Corner to Furnace Village to Eastondale, they include an eclectic mix of property types spanning many prices, styles, ages and other attributes. Homes tend to be fairly affordable, but the cost of living is a bit higher than average. With 100 representing the average cost of living in the U.S., this town’s COL of 142.1 reflects this. However, the cost of living here is only a bit higher than that of the state’s as a whole, which is 137.7.

Market Overview

It’s easier to navigate even more complex property markets when you have a basic understanding of how they are currently faring. Like most submarkets across the state, this one’s has been on fire for some time. Lately, the area has been experiencing more of a buyer’s market than a seller’s market, so you may be able to negotiate your way to a great home for a terrific price. A referral from us to a local agent is sure to help in that regard.

Across this entire town, there are 7,723 residential properties currently on record. That figure includes everything from single-family homes to condos to apartments, and it is well in line with the average population of the area. Since there’s a decent number of residential properties in general, there also usually tends to be a decent number for sale or for rent at any given time. You can easily check by searching Boston City Properties’ listings.

What can you expect in terms of property types in this town? It helps to know because it may be that this town doesn’t tend to have what you’re looking for. Thankfully, however, the market is made up of a healthy mix of different types of property, so people can typically find what they need whether it’s a detached home, a townhouse or an apartment.

In this town, roughly 70 percent of the more than 7,700 residential properties are classified as detached single-family homes. Of course, this means that single-family homes dominate the market here, and they are therefore the easiest to find. Around 10 percent of residential properties are classified as condos or townhouses, and 20 percent are apartments of varying sizes, conditions and layouts. Even if you need a property type that’s less widely available, like a condo, Boston City Properties can make a difference. We’ll refer you to a local agent whose insider knowledge is sure to be indispensable during your search.

Single-Family Homes

Outside of the city of Boston, most local property markets are overwhelmingly dominated by single-family homes. That’s the case in this town, where nearly 5,000 properties fall into that category. The best way to see what’s available in that department is by signing up to search Boston City Properties’ listings; they are updated continually and are pulled from reputable sources like the MLS, so you can rest assured of their timeliness and accuracy. Thanks to our powerful search tool, you can use filters for things like price range and size to quickly pinpoint suitable options.

Lately in this market, homes have been listing on the market for a median price of $625,000. This is almost double the median price for the state as a whole, which is $419,000. It is therefore safe to say that properties here tend to cost more than in many MA communities. Homes here sell for around $600,000 versus around $356,000 for the state, and the average price per square foot, $248, also exceeds that of the state, which is $242. Single-family homes here offer generous amounts of space. The majority of them, 55 percent, were built between 1970 and 1999; only 7.8 percent were built in the year 2000 or later.

At any given time, there are usually upwards of 60 properties for sale on the local market. Data concerning average days on market isn’t currently available, but the local market tends to be more fast-paced than average. Even so, it continues to be more of a buyer’s market. You will probably still need to act quickly when you find something suitable, but you should also be able to get the seller to agree to certain concessions to make the deal happen. We can refer you to an experienced local agent who can assist in such negotiations for best results.

Anyone who is buying a home wants reassurance that their property will grow in value over time. That’s especially important when buying a home for investment purposes or when only planning to keep it for the short term. Around 3.5 percent of residential properties here are currently vacant, which is a tiny bit high but not too worrisome. Roughly 7.2 percent of homes have negative equity, which is still better than the nationwide rate of 10.7 percent. Over the last year, residential properties here have appreciated by a rate of 8.7 percent; over the next year, property values are projected to grow more slowly at a rate of 4.3 percent.

This town’s residential property market tends to be much pricier than most others in the state. If you struggle to find something that suits your budget, you can always look at nearby communities instead. For instance, the median sale price in neighboring Sharon, MA, is around $497,000; over in nearby Brockton, homes are selling for around $233,000. We can refer you to a local real estate agent who can identify other options in the region too.

Condos and Townhouses

With roughly 10 percent of this town’s more than 7,700 residential properties classified as townhouses and condos, there’s usually a decent number of them for sale at any particular time. Even so, special considerations must be made when buying these types of properties; for example, association dues typically apply, and they must be accounted for in your budget.

Since there are more than 700 condos and townhomes in this Bristol County town, you have far more options at your disposal than you would in many other places. Unlike in the big city, these units aren’t typically housed in massive buildings. Most of the time, you will find them in mid-size, mid-rise buildings in more commercial parts of town. You probably have specific requirements for any condo or townhome that you buy, and you can convey these to your agent once you’ve gotten a referral from us. That way, your agent can point you toward developments that have what you’re looking for.

One great benefit of buying a townhouse or condo instead of a detached single-family home is affordability. Lately, detached homes in this market have been selling for around $346,000, which is a bit cheaper than the state average. However, townhomes in this town have been selling for closer to $264,000, and that is far lower than the state average of $356,000. If you want to save, then, this is a great place to look.

You don’t have to do anything special to search for townhouses and condos in Easton, MA, with our search tool. It works just the same for finding these kinds of properties as it does for finding single-family homes; you can use it to search rentals too. You can limit the search just to this town, or you can select multiple communities to search more broadly.

Apartments

Around 20 percent of residential properties here are classified as apartments, which means that there are more than 1,400 of them spread out across this town. As is the case with most Massachusetts communities, apartments in this one tend to vary widely in terms of size, condition, features and layouts.
