Nearby homes
What are the neighbors worth?
Type your address to see the homes on your street and within about a quarter mile that are the same kind of property: their assessed values, what they sold for in the last three years, the median, and where your home sits. Addresses and numbers only. Owner names are never shown.
Method
How this works.
Where the numbers come from
Your address is matched to the town assessor record that every Massachusetts city and town files with MassGIS. We read it straight from MassGIS in your browser, so there is no sign-up and nothing is stored. Owner names are never requested or shown.
Who counts as a neighbor
Homes with the same assessor use code as yours (single-family stays with single-family, a condo with condos) on the same street, and anywhere within 402 meters, about a quarter mile, of the middle of your lot.
Recent sales
The assessor record keeps only the most recent recorded sale for each property. So this list is the homes whose last recorded sale was in the past three years, at $100,000 or more to leave out family transfers. It is a sample, not every sale, and the most recent months can be missing until the town updates its files.
Sale vs assessed
The ratio of what a home sold for to its current assessed value is a quick read on how far the town assessment is from the market in your neighborhood.
Questions
Common questions.
Why are some nearby sales missing?
Assessor records hold one recent sale per property, and towns update them on their own schedule. A home that sold last month may not show yet, and a home that sold twice only shows the later sale.
Does this show who owns the neighboring homes?
No. Owner names are public in the town records, but this tool never asks for them. It shows street addresses, sizes and values only.
What is the difference between assessed value and sale price?
The sale price is what a buyer paid on a given day. The assessed value is the town’s estimate for tax purposes as of a fixed date. Comparing them across your neighbors shows how the assessments track the market where you live.
How is "where your home sits" calculated?
It is the share of nearby same-use properties whose assessed value is at or below yours. 50 percent means yours is in the middle.

Selling? Add drone photos
Show the whole property.
Aerial photos show the lot, the yard, the roofline and the neighborhood in a way street photos cannot. Many sellers add them to a listing, and they are a short, inexpensive shoot (typically $250 to $900).
