What the sales history says · 14 years of sales

Bidding wars in Concord are more common than before the pandemic, but a quarter fewer homes come up for sale

We read every month of Concord’s home sales since 2012 so you don’t have to. Each figure covers 12 months, because a single month in a town is too few sales to mean much. Latest: the year to May 2026, 250 sales.

If you’re buying in Concord

  • Shop in September. It brings about 40 new listings a month, close to the busiest month, with fewer bidding wars (33% over asking).
  • Less room to haggle. Only 20% of listings cut their price, against 23% before the pandemic.
  • Bid near asking. Buyers paid 101% of the list price on average; 40% paid over.
  • Move fast on good ones. 46% of homes are under contract within two weeks.
