Here is the simple answer based on the latest closed numbers.

Yes, the numbers still favor a seller who prices with discipline in Shrewsbury, MA. Last month, the median sold price was $455,000 and homes sold at 101.9% of asking, which tells me well-priced properties still had leverage.
The clearest signal is that recent offers landed above asking on average, even as the median sold price held at $455,000 last month. In Shrewsbury, MA, that tells me buyers are still responding when the price and presentation line up. I would not read that as a blank check. The same market also showed a 0.55-month supply, so the opportunity is real, but it still depends on starting in the right range and making the home easy to understand. Price with intent from day one. Watch the first week closely. Adjust fast if interest is thin.
