Fall River, MA Housing Market 2026: What Homes Actually Sell For

If you invest in or around Fall River, the number that matters is what homes actually close for, not what sellers are asking. Here is what Fall River sale prices look like right now, built from the closings Resideline tracked over the last six months, as of September 2026.

The snapshot

• •Closings tracked, last 6 months: 371
• •Median sold price, last 6 months: $500,000
• •Median sold $/sqft, last 6 months: $229
• •Middle half of sales closed between: $399,000 and $650,000

What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 371 closed sales in Fall River over the last six months, with a median closing price of $500,000. That median is the midpoint of what buyers actually paid, not what sellers hoped to get, which is why it moves differently from the asking prices you see on listing sites. The middle half of those sales closed between $399,000 and $650,000. That spread matters more than the headline median: where a specific property sits inside it decides whether the citywide number helps you or misleads you. These are the closings Resideline tracks and may differ from complete county or municipal records. Across the 369 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $193 and $300 per square foot.

How long a sale takes here

• •Listed to under contract: a median of 36 days, across 158 Fall River closings Resideline tracked in the last six months

The Fall River angle

Across 371 closings Resideline tracked over the last six months, the median closed sale price was $500,000, and the middle half of sales closed between $399,000 and $650,000. There is a little more room above the median than below it, so the top half of the band stretches slightly further and an upper-market case needs matched support rather than a rule of thumb. Comps are thinner here than in most markets we track, so keep the match strict and extend the date range when a tight filter leaves you with only a few closings to work from.

From market read to offer price

A market read is the backdrop. The decision still comes down to one property and one number: what it is actually worth and what you should pay. Every Resideline report opens with this same market snapshot for the subject's exact ZIP code, then gives you the property's value, the sold comps behind it, and a market rent estimate. Pricing a specific deal? The free ARV calculator and rental property calculator run the numbers in about a minute.

And we show our work. Every estimate is frozen while the home is for sale and graded against the real closing price after it sells. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.

Run any Fall River address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.
