According to the New England Real Estate Network and the MLS, 53 properties sold in Andover (so far) in 2020; nine parcels of land and 44 single family homes. The highest selling price for a single family home was $697,000, and the average is $271,256. The median days on the market is 29. (I use median because in a small-town market, one or two homes can drastically skew the average statistics.)

Past Comparison

In 2019, 33 single family homes sold with a median days on the market of 68 and an average sale price of $257,057. In 2018, 26 single family homes sold, with 46 median days on the market and an average sale price of $249,592. This reflects an 8% sale price increase in three years and a sharp increase in demand for the town of Andover.

County Comparison

In Merrimack County, the average sale price for 2020 was $313,664, and median days on the market was nine. Since 2018, prices have increased an average of 16%, a remarkable increase in demand.
