Sample issue
What each issue tracks, with the latest numbers.
Q3 2026
Price per unit on four Worcester deals I closed
Closed sales in MLS PIN, as shown on John’s Zillow profile. Based on information provided to and compiled by MLS Property Information Network, Inc. covering the period January 17, 2025 through July 7, 2026.
About these four deals
In the issue: sale price divided by units, for 2, 3 and 4 family buildings. It is the number buyers compare.
I found no published median price for Worcester 2-4 families. These come from my own sales.
I was the seller’s agent on the July and May 2026 sales, and the buyer’s agent on the other two.
Two and three bedrooms ask under HUD’s Fair Market Rent
Zillow Rental Manager, September 28, 2026. HUD FY2027 Fair Market Rents, Worcester HUD Metro FMR Area, effective October 1, 2026.
What the issue adds
In the issue: asking rents by bedrooms next to HUD’s Fair Market Rents, so you can check your rents against both.
HUD uses Fair Market Rents to set housing voucher limits.
Apartment List put Worcester’s median rent at $1,521 in September 2026, down 6.3% from a year earlier.
The Census Bureau’s Housing Vacancy Survey put Worcester metro rental vacancy at 3.2% in Q2 2026, with a margin of error of 3.9 points.
