The primary driver of rising prices in Stoughton is an extreme inventory shortage. With only 0.64 months of supply on the market, sellers hold an almost unmatched negotiating advantage. In a healthy, balanced market, you would typically see 4 to 6 months of supply. Stoughton is operating at roughly one-tenth of that threshold.
Over the past 12 months, the inventory of available homes has dropped by 39% — a compounding trend that continues to put upward pressure on prices with no structural reversal in sight. In March 2026 alone, the median list price for newly listed properties hit $625,000, a 22.6% jump from the prior month.
Total new listing volume for March reached approximately $8.47M, underscoring that while sellers are entering the market, demand continues to outpace supply by a wide margin.
