Here are the most expensive home sales in each MetroWest community for 2022

The red-hot real estate market was on full display this year, as seven-digit sales became common in nearly every MetroWest community. Out of 22 communities, only Hudson and Bellingham failed to have a home sell for more than $1 million, with 11 communities featuring sales of more than $1.5 million.

At the top of the scale, Franklin, Hopkinton, Sherborn, Southborough, Sudbury, Upton and Wayland all registered individual home sales of more than $2 million.
