CORNWALL — The 12-month trailing median price for a single-family home in Cornwall dropped slightly at the end of March, falling to $880,000 for the period ending March 31, 2026.

The figure marks a 7% decrease from the $950,000 median recorded for the 12 months ending March 31, 2025, but remains 23% higher than the $498,000 median for the same period ending March 31, 2024.

The unit sales of single-family homes in Cornwall, measured on a 12-month rolling basis, have remained relatively stable after reaching a high of 43 annual sales in 2021.

A total of 17 single-family homes were sold in the 12 months ending March 31, 2026, with 22 transactions in the year ending March 31, 2025, and 15 sales for the 12 months ending March 31, 2024. Historically, sales volume of single-family homes in Cornwall is low, ranging between 15 and 25 transactions a year.
