Higher rates did not stop Chelmsford buyers.
Freddie Mac put the 30 year fixed rate at 7.40% on October 8, 2026. Even so, the Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 124 homes sold and 121 pending sales across Chelmsford in the three months ending August 31, 2026. Buyers are still showing up.
The bigger point is that Chelmsford is not moving as one market. In 01824, the Real Estate Data Aggregator shows 1.1 months of supply, which is still tight. In 01863, which includes North Chelmsford, buyers have more room and homes are not moving as fast. Pricing takes more care there.
