Dracut and Tyngsboro are still moving fast
Morning. As of October 23, 2026, CNBC reported the average 30-year fixed rate at 7.41%. That is real money on a monthly payment. But the Real Estate Data Aggregator still shows Dracut and Tyngsboro moving at a pace most of Greater Lowell is not matching. Buyers are watching payments closely, and the right price still gets results fast.
The two-week number is the one to watch
In the three months ending August 31, 2026, the Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 60.6% of Dracut homes going under contract within two weeks of listing. Tyngsboro was at 65.9%. That share actually rose in both towns compared with the same months of 2025. Most of Greater Lowell saw that number fall.
Dracut: prices up, supply tight
The Real Estate Data Aggregator put Dracut's median sale price at $575,000 for the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is up 4.6% from the same period in 2025. Homes sat on the market a median of 21 days. More than half sold above list price. Supply is lean at 2.1 months.
Tyngsboro: the fastest pace in this group
The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 46 homes sold in Tyngsboro in the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is up 48.4% from the same period in 2025. The median sale price was $656,500. Homes averaged 102.5% of list price, up 1.6 points. Supply is just 1.4 months. The median days on market was 20. Buyers here are competing.
Rates are still a real factor
CNBC reported the average 30-year fixed rate fell to 7.41% from 7.50% the week of October 21, 2026. That is a small move, but it matters on a $575,000 purchase. Realtor.com also noted that mortgage applications to buy a home fell 7% for that same week. Buyers are selective. Price your home wrong and they will wait.
The rest of Greater Lowell is a different story
The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 336 homes sold across Greater Lowell in the three months ending August 31, 2026, up 4.7% from 2025. But that headline covers a wide range. In Lowell's 01850 ZIP, the median sale price fell 16.5% and homes took 29 days on average. The two-week contract share dropped 21.8 points there. Not every ZIP is moving like Dracut and Tyngsboro.
