Redfin cites Belmont's median sale price at approximately $555,000 as of March 2026, up roughly 5% year over year, with homes typically ranging from $300,000 to $900,000 depending on location and age (Redfin, retrieved 2026-08-22).
The historic Central Belmont neighborhood runs lower, and cooling
A separate Redfin read for the "Central Belmont" neighborhood specifically -- the older, historic mill-era core -- showed a $473,000 median sale price over the trailing 3 months, down 3.8% year over year, a real divergence from the broader citywide appreciation trend and not reconciled to one figure this session.
A genuine mill-town-to-new-construction price range
The cited $300,000-$900,000 full range reflects Belmont's real mix of housing stock -- from older mill-town-era homes near the historic downtown to newer construction further from the river peninsula core -- consistent with the town's dual historic/growth identity described in the base record.
