Franklin home prices surge during 2024

"The median sale price of single-family homes in Franklin, MA hit a record high of $727,000 in 2024. In the last 4 years, the median sale price of Franklin single-family homes has surged 44%, a value gain that was completely unforeseen by real estate experts at the start of the COVID pandemic in 2020.

The gain is all the more impressive given the sharp rise in mortgage interest rates that began in 2022. The current 30-year fixed-rate mortgage stands at an average of nearly 7%, more than double the 3% rate average last seen in January of 2022."

Boys Hockey = Franklin, 1 @ Natick, 0 – Final

– Franklin senior Robert Fletcher picked the perfect time for his first career goal to help the Panthers get a win on the road over Natick. Junior Nathan Dennett helped cause a turnover in the offensive zone and the puck fell to Fletcher, who deked around a defenseman before beating the goalie with 9:37 left in the third period. Joe Torraco had the shutout in net for the Panthers.

• That’s the end of a scoreless first period in Natick
• Still no score after 2. Franklin will have 1:16 of PP time to start the 3rd
• Robert Fletcher breaks the ice with 9:36 left in the game with a combination of some great effort and great moves!  1-0 Franklin!  Let’s go!!
