About these numbers

Figures cover single-family homes in Chelsea, MA, sourced from MLS data via the Lofty API. Median sale price, price per square foot, and homes sold reflect the trailing 12 months; year-over-year compares that window to the 12 months before it. Median days on market is computed from each sale's list-to-close date, not Lofty's raw "days on site" field, which tracks total listing lifetime rather than time to sale. Ask us for a current, address-specific valuation.
