Lincoln housing market snapshot (as of fall 2026)

Data providers measure the market differently, so here are dated figures with their sources instead of one number:

  • Median sale price: about $572K for the three months ending October 2026, up 8.5% from a year earlier (Redfin). Realtor.com reported a $557,000 median sold price for October 2026.
  • Speed: Redfin reported a median of 29 days on market(up from 20 a year earlier). Realtor.com reported a median of 40 days for listings.
  • Price vs. list: Redfin reported a 98.8% sale-to-list ratio, with about 37.5% of homes selling above list price and about 31% having a price drop. Realtor.com put the October sale-to-list ratio at about 100%.
  • Inventory: Realtor.com counted 103 active listings in October 2026, up 45% year over year. Realtor.com called Lincoln a balanced market in October 2026, while Redfin's Compete Score rated it "very competitive" (76/100).

What that means for you: More homes are on the market than last year, so pricing and preparation matter more. Well-prepared homes still sell close to asking. The house down the street is a better guide than a town-wide median, so we look at recent sales near you.

Lincoln's villages

Lincoln is a town of historic villages, and each one feels different:

  • Lime Rock: on Great Road, where limestone has been quarried since colonial times; historic homes and larger lots.
  • Saylesville: a former mill village on the Moshassuck River, near Lincoln Woods.
  • Lonsdale: the old village on the Lincoln bank of the Blackstone River, across from Cumberland.
  • Albion: a north-end mill village on the Blackstone; the old mill now holds condos.
  • Manville: at the Woonsocket line, along the river and the bikeway.
  • Quinnville (Old Ashton) and Fairlawn(by the Pawtucket line) round out the town.

Most of Lincoln uses ZIP 02865; Manville has its own 02838. Values can change a lot from one village to the next, so we compare street by street.
