Saugus, CA Housing Market 2026: What Homes Actually Sell For

In a market the size of Saugus, individual sales move the needle. The figures below rest on 144 tracked closings over the last six months, so read them as the direction of the market rather than a precise price for any one street.

The snapshot

• •Closings tracked, last 6 months: 144
• •Median sold price, last 6 months: $848,250 (low-volume sample)
• •Median sold $/sqft, last 6 months: $415
• •Middle half of sales closed between: $760,000 and $975,000

What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 144 closed sales in Saugus over the last six months, with a median closing price of $848,250. 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 $760,000 and $975,000. 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. 85% of the Saugus closings we track here are single-family houses, so these figures primarily reflect that segment, and the citywide $/sqft figure primarily reflects that segment as well. Across the 144 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $364 and $481 per square foot.

Figures last updated October 3, 2026 from closings Resideline tracked.

Where Saugus sale prices land

Medians hide the shape of a market. The distribution above covers the closed sales Resideline tracked in Saugus over the last six months that carry a usable sale date, trimmed to the 5th through 95th percentile, with the middle half of sales closing between $760,000 and $975,000. Among the 262 California markets with a published band, Saugus's middle-half spread ($760,000 to $975,000) ranks 15th from the narrowest. Where your target property sits inside that spread matters more than the citywide median. Measured as the ratio of the upper to the lower quartile, its middle-half spread ranks in the 2nd percentile of the 2,230 US markets in Resideline's national Market Watch set, on data as of October 3, 2026.

How long a sale takes here

• •Listed to under contract: a median of 12 days, across 43 Saugus closings Resideline tracked in the last six months
• •Contract to closing: a median of 22 days, across 70 Saugus closings Resideline tracked in the last six months

The Saugus angle

Saugus delivers the kind of distribution valuers hope for: across 144 tracked closings over the last six months, the median closed sale price was $848,250, and the middle half of sales fit between $760,000 and $975,000, among the tightest spreads we track. When closings agree this closely, the median carries genuine predictive weight for a typical sale, and the interesting question shifts from the market's level to the subject's typicality. One note on shape: the run from the median up to $975,000 is longer than the run down to $760,000, so what spread exists sits mostly above the midpoint. For a typical Saugus property, start at the median and adjust with matched comps; for an atypical one, expect the tight band to make its difference visible quickly.

From market read to offer price

A thin market punishes generic pricing; the way to firm up a number here is the specific property and its handful of true comps. 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, rehab cost estimator, BRRRR 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 Saugus address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.

The local market statistics in this report are calculated from closed sales tracked by Resideline. Transaction coverage may differ from complete county or municipal records. This is a low-volume sample: treat the statistics as directional rather than precise estimates of the entire local market.

Every local market figure on this page is computed from closed sales Resideline tracked in Saugus over the last six months, and is refreshed when the data is. Saugus has no municipal boundary of its own in the Census place and county subdivision files, so these figures cover the Saugus postal area rather than a city boundary. This is a low-volume market: the figures below rest on 144 closings across properties assigned to the Saugus postal market, so treat the median as indicative rather than precise.
