Greater Worcester, Massachusetts Top 5 Home Sales: Shrewsbury Claims Three of the Five, Led by a $1.3 Million Colonial

Shrewsbury accounted for three of the five highest-priced home sales reported in Greater Worcester, Massachusetts for the week ending November 8, 2026, with Auburn and Boylston supplying the other two. All five are single-family homes in Worcester County, and together they sold for $4.9 million.

The group spans more than half a century of building, from a home first built in 1970 to one finished in 2026, and its settings range from a lot of just over a quarter acre to wooded parcels of several acres. Colonials make up three of the five.
