Daily snapshot of corridor land and homes (0.75–5.0 acres) near the MBTA Providence/Stoughton line, plus small beach-area properties suited to weekly rental.
| Report | Description |
|---|---|
| 2026-09-11 | Section 1 rebounds to 20 corridor listings and Section 3 to 21 duplexes, while Section 2 recovers from 2 to 15 by applying the rail rule loosely per the flagged criteria conflict — confirming last run’s read that the collapse was a constraint reading, not inventory; Buttonwoods Warwick RI is resolved after thirteen runs via Redfin’s boundary-drawn neighborhood tool, which yields three genuine in-boundary listings; 415/417 S Main St, Sharon MA is settled as off-market and never relisted; 17 Clara Ln, Narragansett RI resurfaces as a pending $950,000 duplex, complicating last run’s rental-only reclassification; Norwood MA and Rehoboth MA hold their zeros across three source classes each; a new aggregator-staleness case appears at Lot 2 Pondview Ln, Stoughton MA; the AI-summary channel produces a fourth consecutive false active; and realtor.com is unreachable a sixth run. |
| 2026-09-10 | 17 Clara Ln, Narragansett RI — the long-standing “strongest single property” — is reclassified as never having been a for-sale listing at all, only an active weekly rental ($3,600/wk peak), removing it from Section 2 and repurposing it as the run’s best rate comp; Norwood MA reverts to a Section 1 zero and last run’s zero-breaking rescue is retracted — 230 Richland Rd, Norwood MA was cached “Pending” data for a property that actually sold in 2022, so the switch-source-class rule surfaced staleness rather than inventory; Section 1 lands at 16 corridor listings and Section 3 at 11 duplexes, while Section 2 falls to 2 largely on a tightened rail-geography reading (T.F. Green and Wickford Junction are the Providence Line’s only RI stops) rather than on inventory; 1125 School St, Mansfield MA was falsely reported active by an AI summary and caught against its detail page; the 18 North Ave, Attleboro MA price conflict resolves at $600,000 and the 10 Cobbler Ln, Sharon MA conflict resolves as cross-contamination with 376 Lot C Mountain St, Sharon MA; Rehoboth MA’s duplex zero holds while it again carries the deepest Section 1 inventory; the Narragansett RI injunction is unchanged and the 5% RI STR tax is confirmed in effect; Buttonwoods Warwick RI unresolved a thirteenth run; realtor.com unreachable a fifth. |
| 2026-09-08 | Northern-cluster duplex zero breaks after three runs (26 Howard St, Canton MA and 35 Wilson St, Norwood MA); Section 1 at a new high of 22 corridor listings and Section 3 at 15 duplexes, while Section 2 beach-area buy candidates collapse 18 to 5; the Narragansett RI "duplex STR ban" is resolved as a conflated premise (no ban — per-unit registration confirmed); the Jamestown RI and Narragansett RI ADR whiplash gets a mechanism (listings −63.5% YoY, an AirDNA boundary re-cut); 415/417 S Main St, Sharon MA reverses from fabrication to stale-but-real; Buttonwoods Warwick RI unresolved a twelfth run; realtor.com unreachable a fourth. |
| 2026-09-07 | 21 corridor listings (7 north, 14 south) and 12 confirmed duplexes (5 MA, 7 RI), up from 8, with Norwood MA reversing to non-zero for the first time in five runs — 230 Richland Rd, Norwood MA at 1.24 acres and $679,900, though already under contract, and found only after Zillow’s land channel came up empty and the search switched source class to LandSearch; the northern-cluster duplex zero holds for a third straight run across all four towns and again on property type rather than scarcity; 73 Pinehurst Ave, Warwick RI is settled as SOLD 5/8/2026 for $399,000 — the “$399,000 active condex” carried into this run was a closed sale price, not a live ask — while 45 Cherry Ln Apt B, Wakefield RI reverses the other way and is a real, current $485,000 Chappell Homestead listing rather than the mismatched-address artifact it was called last run; Narragansett RI’s ADR re-measures at $503 and Jamestown RI’s at $499, the latter a 14% one-day jump over the $436 recorded yesterday that is flagged rather than accepted; the Narragansett RI “duplex STR ban” looks like a conflated premise — the town’s own Q&A implies duplex units are rentable with per-unit registration; and 1251 South Main St, Attleboro MA and 23 Colonial Way, Rehoboth MA are both real properties after all, not AI fabrications, but both are two-families and neither is on the market. |
| 2026-09-06 | 14 corridor listings (the deepest Section 1 yet), 8 confirmed duplexes and 4 Warwick RI buy candidates; the four-run Warren RI STR-ordinance blackout is CLOSED via a non-Municode source and all three missing ADR benchmarks are filled (Wakefield RI $367, Jamestown RI $436, Warren RI $298), while the rail-geometry rule is corrected — Narragansett RI and Jamestown RI are borderline passes at ~16 min from the Wickford Junction terminus rather than 20–25 min beyond it, and Wakefield RI alone clearly fails at ~24 min; Canton MA reverses to non-zero on 9 Chief Ln, while Norwood MA is a Section 1 zero for a fourth run and the whole northern cluster is a duplex zero for a second. |
| 2026-09-05 | A strict detail-page-only run that resolved two long-carried data conflicts and cut the confirmed duplex count from 18 to 6: 0 Oak Street, Attleboro MA is settled at 0.19 acres and Pending (the “~0.87 acre” reading was never supported and the parcel was never in band), 10-12 Olive St, Attleboro MA is settled as SOLD 8/24/2026 for $648,000, and 0 Read St, Attleboro MA is ruled out for a fourth consecutive run; the sharpest new structural finding is that Section 2’s ~15-minute rail rule is systematically failing because Wickford Junction is the line terminus and Narragansett, Jamestown and Wakefield RI all sit ~20–25 minutes from it, leaving the Warwick RI shore as the only Section 2 geography that actually passes; Norwood MA is a hard Section 1 zero for a third run and its three-run single-family coverage gap is now closed with a documented negative; coastal RI mobile/manufactured homes are a confirmed statewide zero (MHVillage shows no RI homes for sale at all); and a twenty-item rejection sweep re-caught the known stale offenders 1251 South Main St Attleboro MA, 23 Colonial Way Rehoboth MA and 415/417 S Main St Sharon MA while Buttonwoods Campground Warwick RI goes unresolved for a ninth run and Warren RI’s ordinance text stays unfetchable for a fourth — both now recommended for a phone call rather than a tenth search. |
| 2026-09-04 | 18 corridor listings (11 detail-page confirmed in-band, 7 unverified Rehoboth MA leads), 8 RI beach-area weekly-rental buy candidates and 18 confirmed duplexes (6 MA, 12 RI) — the headline is that Warwick RI’s two-run “R-6/R-10” short-term-rental contradiction is RESOLVED as a town mix-up: those zone codes belong to West Warwick, a different municipality, and Warwick’s own 2023 memo to the state STR commission confirms STR is permitted by right in its A-7/A-10/A-15/A-40 and Village zones; the 19 → 14 S Atlantic Ave, Warwick RI house-number defect shipped flagged last run is now FIXED on two independent platforms; Narragansett RI reverses last run’s Section 2 zero with 12 Park Ave #8 at $589,000; Norwood MA holds a hard ZERO for a second consecutive run on both land and duplexes; 0 Read St, Attleboro MA fails to confirm for a third run while Attleboro MA remains the only town passing both the rail and hospital rules; Warren RI’s STR cap gains a second independent source but still no primary fetch; and eight separate aggregator listings were caught stale or fabricated against their own detail pages. |
| 2026-09-03 | 18 corridor land & home listings on 0.75–5.0 acres (16 active, 2 pending), 7 RI beach-area weekly-rental buy candidates and 24 duplex entries (10 MA, 14 RI) — corridor inventory jumps from 14 to 18 and changes shape, with Sharon MA surging from 2 listings to 4 to become the second-deepest corridor market behind Rehoboth MA's 6, Attleboro MA recovering from 1 parcel to 2, and Norwood MA falling to a hard ZERO on active listings since its only in-band parcel went under contract; the headline is a Rhode Island reversal — Warren RI's short-term-rental cap, carried as “unconfirmed past first reading” for two runs, is found to have been ADOPTED at 125 units townwide with a 50%-of-units-per-building rule, a $100/unit fee and a parking mandate, which now constrains all four Warren RI duplexes in Section 3; 0 Read St, Attleboro MA fails to confirm for a second straight run and is now effectively ruled out, being absent from the listing agent's own active-listings page as well as from all 106 LandSearch and 8 Zillow Attleboro land records; a new near-miss appears in Lot 6 Pleasant St, Attleboro MA at 5.48 acres, just over the 5.0-acre cap, while its sibling Lot 7 Pleasant St, Attleboro MA at 0.86 acres qualifies; 26 Tremont St, Norwood MA is caught as a live fabrication for a third consecutive run alongside a newly caught 24 Short St, Norwood MA, with Homes.com's multi-family aggregator running roughly 75% stale on that category; Canton MA, Stoughton MA and Sharon MA are all duplex zeros; Narragansett RI's permit cap remains enjoined with no 2026 ruling and its duplex ban is confirmed never adopted; Warwick RI's R-6/R-10 bar stays contradicted by the city's own 2023 memo; Buttonwoods Campground, Warwick RI is unresolved for a seventh run; and Jamestown RI and Bonnet Shores RI are confirmed zeros on both beach buys and duplexes. |
| 2026-09-02 | 14 corridor land & home listings on 0.75–5.0 acres (12 active, 1 contingent, 1 pending), 8 RI beach-area weekly-rental buy candidates and 22 duplex entries (9 MA, 13 RI) — Rehoboth MA is again the deepest corridor market at 6 against Stoughton MA 2, Sharon MA 2, Canton MA 1, Norwood MA 1, Mansfield MA 1 and Attleboro MA 1, and the headline is a double reversal in Attleboro MA: 0 Read St, Attleboro MA could NOT be confirmed active on any live listing page this run — it is absent from both Zillow's and Redfin's rendered Attleboro land inventory and rests only on search-engine AI summaries, directly reversing last run's top finding — while 0 Oak Street, Attleboro MA finally RESOLVED at $160,000 for a combined 0.19-acre package, below the 0.75-acre floor and now formally excluded, which leaves the corridor with ZERO listings carrying confirmed public water and public sewer; on the other side, Mansfield MA broke its hard-zero streak with 75 Fowler St at 2.35 acres / $995,000, and Attleboro MA is no longer a duplex zero either, returning as the deepest MA duplex market at 6 and undoing last run's reversal; 145 Winthrop St, Rehoboth MA's long-running MLS conflict is RESOLVED in favor of $225,000 / MLS 73463306 (the $219,900 / MLS 73567377 baseline could not be located anywhere and appears defunct), 38 Dean St, Rehoboth MA is confirmed PENDING at $574,900 since 2026-08-24, and 156 Rocky Hill Rd, Rehoboth MA holds active at $229,000 with a fresh MLS-duplicate wrinkle and utilities still not confirmed public; Warren RI holds as the deepest duplex market at 7 for a second run, Jamestown RI and Saunderstown RI are explicit zeros, Buttonwoods Campground, Warwick RI is UNRESOLVED for a sixth consecutive run and is now declared unresolvable by search — it needs a phone call to the BCA Executive Board — and a new 55+ watch item joins the exclusion queue at Village at Worden's Pond, Wakefield RI; Narragansett RI's permit cap stays enjoined and its duplex ban stays unadopted, RI's 5% whole-home STR tax is re-confirmed from the primary source, and Warwick RI's R-6/R-10 bar is now actively CONTRADICTED by the city's own 2023 memo to the state STR commission rather than merely unverified; Norwood Hospital re-confirmed closed with the 2026-11-01 eminent-domain deadline running, leaving Attleboro MA the only town passing both the rail and hospital rules, now on a single parcel. Source-gating flipped again: Zillow rate-limited mid-sweep and Homes.com carried the report, and 26 Tremont St, Norwood MA was re-caught as a live fabrication where Zillow's own search page still advertises a listing its detail page reports as off market. |
| 2026-09-01 | 21 corridor land & home listings on 0.75–5.0 acres (14 active, 6 pending, 1 confirmed off-market), 12 RI beach-area weekly-rental buy candidates and 21 duplex entries (10 MA, 11 RI) — Rehoboth MA is again the deepest corridor market at 9 against Sharon MA 4, Stoughton MA 4, Canton MA 3, Attleboro MA 4, Norwood MA 1, while Mansfield MA is a confirmed corridor ZERO for the first time in this report's history; the headline reversal is 0 Read St, Attleboro MA has RESURFACED ACTIVE at $115,000 for 3.81 acres with water, sewer, gas and electric all at the street after months off-market, making it the strongest price-per-acre buy in the sweep; 145 Winthrop St Rehoboth MA is still active but at $225,000 under a different MLS number (73463306, not 73567377) — a live price/MLS conflict against the prior baseline; 38 Dean St Rehoboth MA has gone PENDING at $574,900 after an 11.6% cumulative cut; Warren RI is the runaway duplex market at 7 entries; and after five runs of ambiguity Mary Carpenter's / Carpenter's Beach Meadow, 854 Matunuck Beach Rd South Kingstown RI is now VERBATIM-CONFIRMED no-rental from the association's own for-sale page — upgraded from "verify with the association" and now a hard exclusion alongside Roy Carpenter's Beach and Knowles Camp, while Buttonwoods Campground Warwick RI stays UNRESOLVED for a fifth consecutive run. Norwood Hospital is re-confirmed closed with major new detail: Governor Healey signed an eminent-domain bill on 2026-08-07 giving Medical Properties Trust until 2026-11-01 to reach a deal with a qualified nonprofit operator or lose the 11-acre site to the state — two operators are reportedly still in talks, but no reopening, so the 15-minute hospital rule still fails corridor-wide for the four northern towns with only Attleboro MA and Rehoboth MA covered via Sturdy Memorial. Source-gating flipped this run: Zillow and Redfin were largely FETCHABLE on all three sweeps, reversing the uniform gating of the last run, while LandVest, StreamlineRE, Westcott, LoopNet detail, Raveis, LRGboston, HoganAssociates and Municode were gated. |
| 2026-08-31 | 24 corridor land & home listings on 0.75–5.0 acres (13 active, 10 pending, 1 newly flagged as a live source conflict), 14 RI beach-area weekly-rental buy candidates and 22 duplex entries (12 MA, 10 RI) — Rehoboth MA is again far and away the deepest corridor market at 11 listings against Sharon MA 4, Stoughton MA 3, Canton MA 2, Attleboro MA 2, Norwood MA 1 and Mansfield MA 1, Attleboro MA is again the deepest duplex market at 6 with Norwood MA, Warwick RI and Warren RI tied at 3 each, and Sharon MA / Stoughton MA / Jamestown RI / Barrington RI / Bonnet Shores RI / Saunderstown RI are confirmed duplex zeros. Three reversals of prior findings this run: Rehoboth MA is NOT a duplex zero (38 Dean St, Rehoboth MA, $574,900, teardown-grade on 1.8 acres), Norwood MA is NOT a corridor zero on inventory though it remains zero on active inventory (230 Richland Rd, Norwood MA, $679,900, 1.24 ac, under contract), and 106 Indian Ln, Canton MA resurfaced with a hard source conflict — LandSearch carries it active at $329,000 / 1.00 ac while Boston Pads carries the fuller MLS history showing it CANCELED on 2026-08-19. 145 Winthrop St, Rehoboth MA holds as the cheapest active buildable parcel at $219,900 for 3.18 perc'd acres with public water and an approved 4-bedroom septic design, 156 Rocky Hill Rd, Rehoboth MA holds unchanged at $229,000 active but its utilities are recorded as "Other" and are NOT confirmed public, 0 Read St, Attleboro MA again did not surface and stays off-market, and 138 Washington St, Attleboro MA is newly and explicitly CONFIRMED off-market by LoopNet's own delisting notice. One genuinely new corridor find: 0 Oak Street, Attleboro MA (MLS 73526161) is a two-lot package whose Lot 15 is shovel-ready with public water AND public sewer stubbed to the lot — the only full-public-utility parcel surfaced in this entire sweep — but its price and status could not be confirmed behind JS-gated broker pages. Two prior findings are downgraded on evidence: Narragansett RI's duplex ban is confirmed as a real but unadopted and contested proposal (Providence Journal, 2024-04-17; Town Council took no action, and the Planning Board voted 4–1 against related zoning restructuring in April 2025), not a pending ban; and Mary Carpenter's / Carpenter's Beach Meadow, 854 Matunuck Beach Rd, South Kingstown RI could NOT be re-confirmed as an explicit no-rental community this run and is downgraded to "verify with the association." Roy Carpenter's Beach, 240 Cards Pond Rd, South Kingstown RI and Knowles Camp, Narragansett RI remain verbatim-confirmed no-rental; Buttonwoods Campground, Warwick RI remains UNRESOLVED for a fourth run. RI's 5% whole-home STR tax is for the first time confirmed from the primary source (RI Division of Taxation Notice 2025-09) alongside the local hotel tax rise from 1% to 2%, Warwick RI's R-6/R-10 non-owner-occupied STR bar is again secondary-source-only with Municode JS-gated, and the Narragansett RI permit cap remains enjoined with no final ruling. Norwood Hospital is re-confirmed closed — with Massachusetts emergency legislation passed in August 2026 to speed the site's revitalization and operators reportedly in talks, but no reopening — so the 15-minute hospital rule still fails corridor-wide across the four northern towns. Two Warwick RI / Wakefield RI manufactured-home communities are newly flagged as structurally unusable for the weekly-rental model on 55+ age restrictions. Source-gating was UNIFORM this run, reversing the last two runs: Zillow and Redfin were JS-gated on all three sweeps simultaneously. |
| 2026-08-30 | 22 corridor land & home listings on 0.75–5.0 acres (18 active, 4 pending), 15 RI beach-area weekly-rental buy candidates and 31 duplex entries (15 MA, 16 RI) — Rehoboth MA and Stoughton MA tie deepest at 5 corridor listings each but Rehoboth's are all active, Norwood MA is a corridor zero again, Attleboro MA is the deepest duplex market at 6 with Warren RI second at 5, and Sharon MA / Rehoboth MA / Jamestown RI / Saunderstown RI / Bonnet Shores RI / Buttonwoods RI / Warwick Neck RI are all confirmed duplex zeros; 145 Winthrop St, Rehoboth MA holds as the cheapest active buildable parcel at $219,900 for 3.18 perc'd acres and is now confirmed relisted 2026-08-24 under a new MLS (73567377) at a $5,100 cut with public water and an approved 4-bed septic design, 156 Rocky Hill Rd, Rehoboth MA holds unchanged at $229,000 active, 0 Read St, Attleboro MA is re-confirmed off-market across four live sources, 106 Indian Ln, Canton MA did not surface on any source this run after three conflicting figures last week, Norwood MA's own commuter stations are newly flagged as Franklin Line rather than Providence/Stoughton, and Narragansett RI officials are newly reported to be proposing a near-townwide duplex ban allowing duplexes only by special permit in two zones. Narragansett's STR permit cap remains enjoined with no final ruling; RI's 5% whole-home STR tax is re-confirmed in effect alongside a local hotel tax rise from 1% to 2%; Warwick RI's R-6/R-10 non-owner-occupied STR bar is confirmed only from secondary sources this run because the primary ordinance text was unreachable. |
| 2026-08-29 | 33 corridor land & home listings on 0.75–5.0 acres (24 confirmed active, 5 pending, 3 with conflicting source data, 1 now confirmed off-market), Rehoboth MA again deepest by far at 13 and Sharon MA second at 6, against Norwood MA with zero active and Mansfield MA still effectively one parcel; 10 RI beach-area weekly-rental buy candidates and 45 duplex entries (23 MA, 22 RI); the cheapest active buildable parcel this run is 145 Winthrop St, Rehoboth MA at $219,900 for 3.18 perc'd acres with an approved 4-bedroom septic design, undercutting 156 Rocky Hill Rd, Rehoboth MA which holds at $229,000 and remains active; 0 Read St, Attleboro MA is upgraded from "likely not active" to confirmed off-market, absent from all four live inventory sources checked; 106 Indian Ln, Canton MA resurfaced on LandVest at $1,499,999 / 1.16 ac, a third mutually incompatible figure against last run's $329,000 / 1.0 ac and the 2026-03-17 $835,000 sale record; Warwick RI's 2026 zoning update now bars new non-owner-occupied short-term rentals in the R-6 and R-10 zones covering much of Oakland Beach and Gaspee, a material new constraint on the strongest Section 2 pocket; a fourth leased-land cottage community — Buttonwoods Campground, Warwick RI — is newly flagged with its rental rules unresolved rather than prohibited, the opposite risk from the three verified Carpenter/Knowles no-rental exclusions; the Narragansett RI permit cap remains enjoined with no final ruling found, and RI's 5% whole-home STR tax is re-confirmed in effect. |
| 2026-08-28 | 23 corridor land & home listings on 0.75–5.0 acres (13 confirmed active, 1 flagged-active, 1 likely-not-active, 8 pending/contingent) with Rehoboth MA again by far the deepest at 11, Attleboro MA 3, Sharon MA 3, Stoughton MA 2, Mansfield MA 2, Canton MA 1 flagged, and Norwood MA 1 pending with zero active; 14 RI beach-area weekly-rental buy candidates and 24 duplex entries (12 MA, 12 RI, with Warren RI at 4 and Barrington RI at 4 carrying the RI depth); 156 Rocky Hill Rd, Rehoboth MA re-confirmed the cheapest active buildable parcel at $229,000 unchanged and verified at 1.99 ac perc-tested on a page checked within the hour, while 0 Read St, Attleboro MA at $115,000 is DOWNGRADED this run to likely-not-active after it fell off its own brokerage’s live active-listings feed and a related Read St parcel (MLS #73397971, 4.4 ac) was confirmed SOLD; 106 Indian Ln, Canton MA resurfaces as an active $329,000 1.0-acre lot on LandSearch in direct conflict with the prior 2026-03-17 sale record at $835,000 and is flagged for direct registry or agent confirmation rather than presented as clean inventory; Stoughton MA, Sharon MA, Rehoboth MA, Jamestown RI, North Kingstown/Wickford RI, Wakefield and Peace Dale RI, Saunderstown RI, Bonnet Shores RI and all four named Warwick RI shore villages returned zero confirmed duplexes; Mansfield MA again confirmed at effectively zero vacant land in band beyond 75 Fowler St; Norwood Hospital re-confirmed CLOSED and still not treating patients, with Healey’s eminent-domain seizure of the 11-acre site from Medical Properties Trust signed 2026-08-07 and effective 2026-11-01, so the 15-minute hospital rule still fails or is marginal across the Canton/Stoughton/Sharon/Norwood MA end of the corridor; a THIRD no-rental leased-land cottage community — Knowles Camp, Burnside Ave, Narragansett RI, with four units listed at $199K–$320K — is newly named alongside both verbatim-verified Carpenter-family exclusions, and Roy Carpenter’s Beach was itself bought by its own residents’ association on 2025-10-29; Narragansett RI’s 2024 STR permit cap remains enjoined and unenforceable with no final ruling found; and RI’s 5% whole-home STR tax re-confirmed in effect since 2026-01-01. |
| 2026-08-27 | 18 corridor land & home listings on 0.75–5.0 acres (11 confirmed active, 1 status-unconfirmed, 6 pending) with Rehoboth MA again by far the deepest at 9, Stoughton MA next at 3, Sharon MA and Attleboro MA 2 each, Mansfield MA a single active home, Norwood MA zero active with one pending entry, and Canton MA a cross-verified zero on LandWatch, Land.com and LandSearch after 106 Indian Ln, Canton MA sold on 2026-03-17 for $835,000; 10 URL-verified RI beach-area weekly-rental buy candidates and 19 duplex candidates (6 MA, 13 RI) with Stoughton MA, Sharon MA, Mansfield MA, Jamestown RI and Bonnet Shores RI all confirmed zero; 156 Rocky Hill Rd, Rehoboth MA re-confirmed the cheapest active buildable parcel at $229,000 unchanged, verified at 1.99 ac, perc-tested and buildable as a legal non-conforming lot, while 0 Read St, Attleboro MA is nominally cheaper at $115,000 with its 3.81 ac confirmed but its active status resting on a Zillow search snippet rather than a live page read; Norwood Hospital re-confirmed CLOSED with Gov. Healey signing eminent-domain legislation on 2026-08-21 that puts landlord Medical Properties Trust on a two-month clock while two operators remain in talks, so the 15-minute hospital rule still fails or is marginal across the Canton/Stoughton/Sharon/Norwood MA end of the corridor; both Carpenter-family no-rental cottage communities verbatim-verified again this run; Narragansett RI’s 2024 STR permit cap still under the October 2024 preliminary injunction with the town solicitor pointing toward a zoning-based re-draft; and RI’s 5% whole-home STR tax re-confirmed in effect since 2026-01-01. |
| 2026-08-26 | 20 corridor land & home listings on 0.75–5.0 acres (10 confirmed active, 8 pending/contingent, 2 status-unconfirmed), with Rehoboth MA again by far the deepest at 8, Stoughton MA next at 4, Sharon MA 3, Attleboro MA 3 but zero confirmed-active, Mansfield MA a single active home and zero vacant land in band, Norwood MA one pending entry and zero active, and Canton MA a cross-verified zero across LandWatch, Land.com and LandSearch; 7 URL-verified RI beach-area weekly-rental buy candidates concentrated on the Warwick RI shore, plus 16 duplex candidates (6 MA, 10 RI) with Sharon MA, Stoughton MA and Jamestown RI all confirmed zero; 156 Rocky Hill Rd, Rehoboth MA re-confirmed the cheapest active buildable parcel at $229,000 unchanged, 0 Read St, Attleboro MA nominally cheaper at $115,000 but status unverifiable; Norwood Hospital re-confirmed closed with two operators in talks and August 2026 emergency legislation passed; both Carpenter-family no-rental cottage communities verbatim-verified again; Narragansett RI’s permit cap still enjoined with the town pivoting toward a zoning-based re-draft; and RI’s 5% whole-home STR tax re-confirmed in effect. |
| 2026-08-25 | 19 corridor land & home listings on 0.75–5.0 acres across six of the seven in-scope towns (13 active, 6 pending/contingent; Rehoboth MA deepest by a wide margin at 8 and all 8 active, Stoughton MA next at 4 but only 2 active, Sharon MA 3 with 2 active, Attleboro MA down to 2 and both off-market-bound, Mansfield MA a single active home, Norwood MA zero active with one pending entry, and Canton MA a cross-verified zero on both LandWatch and Land.com), 4 RI beach-area weekly-rental buy candidates, and 21 duplex/two-family entries captured — 20 confirmed genuine two-unit duplexes (3 in the Canton/Stoughton/Sharon/Norwood MA cluster, 7 in the Mansfield/Attleboro MA cluster, 10 in RI led by Warren RI at 6 and Barrington RI at 3) plus 1 status-unconfirmed Rehoboth MA entry carried as context, with Stoughton MA, Sharon MA and Rehoboth MA all at zero confirmed duplexes. The cheapest active buildable parcel is again 156 Rocky Hill Rd, Rehoboth MA at $229,000 (1.99 ac, perc-tested, pre-existing legal non-conforming), re-confirmed unchanged in both price and active status with the listing updated 2026-08-24; the cheapest corridor entry overall is Atkinson Avenue Ext, Stoughton MA at $99,000 but it is pending and zoned commercial. 32 Thayer Farm Rd, Attleboro MA is re-confirmed contingent at $699,000 following the 2026-08-09 cut from $739,000 and remains off the board. Rehoboth MA stays flagged corridor-wide at an estimated 18–22 minutes to Attleboro Station, failing the 10-minute rail rule but included per standing exception. Norwood Hospital is freshly re-confirmed CLOSED this run — shuttered since the June 2020 flood, still an empty shell, with two operators in talks per Rep. Stephen Lynch (WBUR, 2026-08-04) and an eminent-domain bill filed, but no operator and no reopening date — closing out the flag left open on 2026-08-24 and meaning the 15-minute hospital rule fails or is marginal across the Canton/Stoughton/Sharon/Norwood MA end of the corridor. Section 2 is constrained not by inventory but by geography: Wickford Junction, North Kingstown RI is the Providence/Stoughton line's southern terminus, so only North Kingstown/Wickford/Saunderstown RI clears the ~15-minute rail radius and Narragansett, South Kingstown, Bonnet Shores, Jamestown and the Warwick RI shore are excluded on drive time rather than absence of listings. Both Carpenter-family no-rental cottage communities were verbatim-verified this run — Roy Carpenter's Beach at 240 Cards Pond Rd, South Kingstown RI ("no renting is allowed in our community", now owned by the cottage-owners' association after an October 2025 purchase) and Mary Carpenter's Beach Meadow at 854 Matunuck Beach Rd, South Kingstown RI ("On leased land, cannot be rented") — the first run since 2026-08-21 in which both were freshly confirmed rather than carried forward. Narragansett RI's 2024 STR permit-cap ordinance remains under the October 2024 preliminary injunction with nothing newer than the February 2025 registration extension found, and Rhode Island's 5% whole-home STR tax is re-confirmed in effect since 2026-01-01 via the Division of Taxation's own December 2025 FAQ, alongside the local hotel tax doubling from 1% to 2%. LandSearch, LandWatch, Homes.com, Compass, Coldwell Banker and eXp Realty were the accessible sources; Zillow and Redfin were largely JS-gated and three Rehoboth-area brokerage sites returned empty pages, leaving an estimated 15–60% of inventory unconfirmed depending on cluster, with all drive times estimates and the RI rate benchmarks directional. |
| 2026-08-24 | 23 corridor land & home listings on 0.75–5.0 acres across six of the seven in-scope towns (12 active, 11 pending/under contract; Rehoboth MA deepest overall at 10 and deepest on actives at 6, Stoughton MA and Sharon MA next at 2 actives each, Norwood MA zero active with two pending entries, Attleboro MA down to a single pending parcel, and North Attleboro MA a cross-verified zero), 7 RI beach-area weekly-rental buy candidates, and 34 duplex/two-family entries captured — 26 confirmed genuine two-unit duplexes (3 in the Canton/Stoughton/Sharon/Norwood MA cluster, 7 in the Mansfield/Attleboro MA cluster, 16 in RI led by the Warwick RI shore at 5, Warren RI at 4 and Barrington RI at 3) plus 8 larger multi-family, mixed-use, commercial or status-conflicted entries carried as context, with Sharon MA, Stoughton MA, Rehoboth MA, North Attleboro MA and Jamestown RI all at zero confirmed duplexes. The cheapest active buildable parcel is 156 Rocky Hill Rd, Rehoboth MA at $229,000 (1.99 ac, perc-tested), re-confirmed unchanged and now roughly six months on market; the cheapest corridor entry overall is Atkinson Avenue Ext, Stoughton MA at $99,000 but it is pending and zoned commercial. 32 Thayer Farm Rd, Attleboro MA has gone fully pending/under contract as of 2026-08-15 after a 2026-08-09 cut from $739,000 to $699,000 and is off the board. Rehoboth MA remains flagged corridor-wide at an estimated 18–22 minutes to Attleboro Station, failing the 10-minute rail rule but included per standing exception, and Norwood MA is again flagged as a Franklin Line town whose nearest Providence/Stoughton station is Canton Junction at an estimated 8–12 min. Norwood Hospital’s closure status could not be re-confirmed this run, with Good Samaritan Medical Center in Brockton used as the alternate northern-corridor reference, leaving the 15-minute hospital rule marginal or failing for Canton, Stoughton, Sharon and Norwood MA. Narragansett RI’s 2024 STR permit-cap ordinance remains under the October 2024 preliminary injunction with no merits ruling, trial date or appellate decision found newer than 2025, and Rhode Island’s 5% whole-home STR tax is re-confirmed in effect since 2026-01-01 alongside the local hotel tax doubling from 1% to 2%. Both Carpenter-family no-rental cottage communities were checked and excluded, with Roy Carpenter’s Beach verbatim-verified and Mary Carpenter’s Beach Meadow carried forward on prior knowledge rather than freshly confirmed. LandSearch, LandWatch, Homes.com, Trulia and Compass were the accessible sources; Zillow and Redfin were largely JS-gated, land.com and landandfarm.com returned a suspect zero for Canton MA land, and two agent sites plus MHVillage returned empty or mislabelled results, leaving an estimated 20–60% of inventory unconfirmed depending on cluster, with all drive times estimates and the RI rate benchmarks directional. |
| 2026-08-23 | 26 corridor land & home listings across six of the seven in-scope towns (17 active, 9 pending; Rehoboth MA deepest overall at 10, Sharon MA deepest among the core towns on actives at 4, Norwood MA zero active with a single pending entry, North Attleboro MA a cross-verified zero), 7 RI beach-area weekly-rental buy candidates (2 named no-rental Carpenter-family cottage communities checked and excluded where encountered, a 55+ manufactured-home community in central Warwick RI flagged as not actually near a beach), and 44 duplex/two-family entries captured — 35 confirmed genuine two-unit duplexes (3 in the Canton/Stoughton/Sharon/Norwood MA cluster, 9 in the Mansfield/Attleboro/North Attleboro MA cluster, 23 in RI led by the Warwick RI shore at 8 and Warren RI at 6) plus 6 larger multi-family, oversized or status-conflicted entries carried as context, with Sharon MA, Stoughton MA, Rehoboth MA and Jamestown RI all at zero confirmed duplexes. The cheapest active buildable parcel is 156 Rocky Hill Rd, Rehoboth MA at $229,000 (2 ac, ~5–6 months on market, flagged to confirm still available); 32 Thayer Farm Rd, Attleboro MA remains pending at $699,000. Rehoboth MA is flagged corridor-wide at an estimated 18–22 minutes to the nearest Providence/Stoughton line station, failing the 10-minute rail rule but included per standing exception, and Norwood MA's own stations sit on the Franklin Line rather than Providence/Stoughton. Norwood Hospital remains closed with no ER. Narragansett RI's 2024 STR permit-cap ordinance remains under an unresolved court injunction with no ruling found newer than 2025, and the statewide 5% RI whole-home STR tax is re-confirmed in effect since 2026-01-01. LandSearch, LandWatch and Homes.com were the primary MA corridor sources (Zillow/Redfin largely JS-gated there); Zillow and Compass rendered normally for the RI research pass. |
| 2026-08-22 | 19 corridor land & home listings across six of the seven in-scope towns (13 active, 6 pending; Sharon MA deepest on actives at 4, Rehoboth MA deepest overall at 5, Norwood MA again zero active with a single pending entry, Attleboro MA down to one pending parcel, and North Attleboro MA a cross-verified zero), 7 RI beach-area weekly-rental buy candidates with 2 named no-rental Carpenter-family cottage communities excluded and 2 additional 55+ leased-land parks flagged as unverified, and 23 confirmed duplex/two-family entries (8 MA corridor with Attleboro MA deepest at 3; 15 RI with the Warwick RI shore deepest at 5 and Warren RI at 3) plus 5 larger multi-family, condo-style or unconfirmed entries carried as context, with Sharon MA, Stoughton MA, Rehoboth MA and Jamestown RI all at zero confirmed duplexes. The cheapest active buildable residential parcel is 156 Rocky Hill Rd, Rehoboth MA at $229,000 (1.99 ac, perc-tested); the cheapest corridor entry overall is Atkinson Avenue Ext, Stoughton MA at $99,000 but it is pending and zoned commercial. 145 Winthrop St, Rehoboth MA did not surface in any accessible source this run and is not carried — a coverage gap, not confirmation it sold. 32 Thayer Farm Rd, Attleboro MA has moved from contingent to fully pending/under contract at $699,000 as of 2026-08-15, taking the corridor’s strongest all-round parcel off the board for now. Rehoboth MA remains flagged corridor-wide at an estimated 18–22 minutes to Attleboro Station, failing the 10-minute rail rule, and Norwood Hospital remains closed with no ER so the 15-minute hospital rule still fails the Canton/Stoughton/Sharon/Norwood MA end of the corridor (Good Samaritan Medical Center, Brockton used as the alternate reference). Narragansett RI’s STR permit-cap ordinance (WC-2024-0372) remains under the October 2024 preliminary injunction with no source newer than January 2025 found this run — flagged as inferred rather than freshly confirmed — while Rhode Island’s 5% whole-home STR tax is re-verified in effect since 2026-01-01 alongside the local hotel tax doubling from 1% to 2%. Homes.com, LandSearch, LandWatch, Land.com, Zillow detail and town-filtered pages, Trulia and Boston Pads were the accessible sources; Redfin, Compass and Durkin Cottage Realty were gated, leaving an estimated 20–60% of inventory unconfirmed depending on cluster, with all drive times estimates and the RI rate benchmarks directional. |
| 2026-08-21 | 24 corridor land & home listings across all seven towns (14 active, 2 pending, 4 contingent, 4 status-unconfirmed; Rehoboth MA deepest by far at 13, Stoughton MA, Sharon MA, Norwood MA and Attleboro MA at 2 each, Canton MA and Mansfield MA at 1 each), 17 RI beach-area weekly-rental buy candidates — a strong Section 2 rebound from the gated-portal shortfall of the previous run, driven by address-level pulls from Homes.com, Compass and Zillow detail pages — with 2 named no-rental Carpenter-family cottage communities excluded (Mary Carpenter’s Beach Meadow now verbatim-verified from the association’s own For Sale page: “On leased land, cannot be rented”), 1 flagged Bonnet Shores RI cabana that is not a dwelling, and 1 age-restricted 55+ land-lease park flagged; and 25 confirmed duplex/two-family entries (10 MA corridor with Attleboro MA deepest at 6; 15 RI with the Warwick RI shore deepest at 5 and Warren RI at 4) plus 17 larger multi-family, non-duplex or off-market entries carried as context, with Sharon MA, Stoughton MA, Rehoboth MA, Jamestown RI, Bonnet Shores RI, Saunderstown RI and Peace Dale RI all at zero confirmed duplexes (Jamestown RI now an explicitly verified zero rather than an unknown). The cheapest active buildable parcel is 145 Winthrop St, Rehoboth MA at $225,000 (3.18 ac, approved 4-bedroom septic) — it resurfaced this run after failing to appear in any accessible source on 2026-08-20, confirming that absence was a coverage gap and not a sale — narrowly under 156 Rocky Hill Rd, Rehoboth MA at $229,000 (1.99 ac, perc-tested). 32 Thayer Farm Rd, Attleboro MA is now contingent at $699,000, and the neighbouring listing previously carried as “2 Thayer Farm Rd” is confirmed to exist only as the combined parcel 2-2A Thayer Farm Rd, Attleboro MA, active at $949,900. Norwood Hospital is re-confirmed closed with no ER, no operator and no reopening date — UMass Memorial Health and Brown University Health have both told the Boston Globe they are not pursuing a rebuild and Beth Israel Lahey has floated outpatient-only care, while legislators pursue an eminent-domain seizure (HD5528) — so the 15-minute hospital rule still fails the Canton/Stoughton/Sharon/Norwood MA end of the corridor, and Norwood MA is again flagged as a Franklin/Foxboro line town whose nearest Providence/Stoughton station is Canton Junction at an estimated 10–12 min. Narragansett RI’s STR permit-cap ordinance (WC-2024-0372) remains enjoined with no 2026 merits ruling found, and Rhode Island’s 5% whole-home STR tax is confirmed in effect since 2026-01-01 for a combined lodging rate up to 14%. Two North Kingstown RI duplexes carried on prior runs are now resolved and removed: 25 Thomas St, North Kingstown RI sold 2026-04-27 for $583,750, and 194 Phillips St, North Kingstown RI went temporarily off market on 2026-06-30. Homes.com, Compass, LandSearch, Land.com, Coldwell Banker, William Raveis, Lamacchia and Boston Pads were the accessible sources while Zillow and Redfin search grids were largely gated (Zillow and Redfin detail pages readable only from already-known URLs), leaving an estimated 25–70% of inventory unconfirmed depending on cluster; all drive times are estimates and the RI rate benchmarks are directional. |
| 2026-08-20 | 27 corridor land & home listings across all seven towns (17 active, 9 pending, 1 status-unconfirmed; Rehoboth MA deepest at 10, Sharon MA strong at 3, Canton MA and Norwood MA thinnest at 1 each and Norwood’s single entry is pending), only 3 genuine RI beach-area weekly-rental buy candidates — an unusually thin Section 2 driven by gated RI portals rather than a real inventory collapse — plus 1 flagged Bonnet Shores RI cabana that is not a dwelling, 2 named no-rental Carpenter-family cottage communities now both primary-source documented rather than presumptive, and 2 age-restricted land-lease park groups flagged, and 25 confirmed duplex/two-family entries (10 MA corridor with Attleboro MA deepest at 5; 15 RI with the Warwick RI shore deepest at 6 and Warren RI at 4) plus 20 larger multi-family or non-duplex entries carried as context, with Sharon MA, Stoughton MA, Jamestown RI, Bonnet Shores RI, Saunderstown RI and Peace Dale RI all at zero confirmed duplexes. The cheapest active buildable parcel is 156 Rocky Hill Rd, Rehoboth MA at $229,000 (2.0 ac, vacant residential); 145 Winthrop St, Rehoboth MA did not surface in any accessible source this run and is not carried, which is a coverage gap rather than confirmation it sold. 32 Thayer Farm Rd, Attleboro MA remains pending at $699,000 while its neighbour 2 Thayer Farm Rd, Attleboro MA is newly active at $949,900. Norwood Hospital is re-confirmed closed with no ER, no confirmed operator and no reopening date — two operators remain in talks with the Alabama-based REIT owner per Rep. Stephen Lynch and the Legislature’s August 2026 emergency public-health law is meant to speed a revitalization or eminent-domain path — so the 15-minute hospital rule still fails the Canton/Stoughton/Sharon/Norwood MA end of the corridor, and Norwood MA is again flagged as a Franklin/Foxboro line town whose nearest Providence/Stoughton station is Canton Junction at an estimated 10–15 min. Narragansett RI’s STR permit-cap ordinance (WC-2024-0372) remains enjoined with no 2026 merits ruling found, and Rhode Island’s 5% whole-home STR tax is confirmed in effect since 2026-01-01 for a combined lodging rate up to 14%. Homes.com, LandSearch, LandWatch and Boston Pads were the accessible sources while Zillow, Redfin and Compass search grids were largely gated, leaving an estimated 20–60% of inventory unconfirmed depending on cluster; all drive times are estimates and the RI rate benchmarks are directional. |
| 2026-08-19 | 34 corridor land & home listings across all seven towns (29 active, 5 pending; Rehoboth MA deepest at 16, Canton MA and Norwood MA thinnest at 1 each), 16 RI beach-area weekly-rental buy candidates with 2 named no-rental cottage communities excluded and 3 age-restricted or land-lease parks flagged, and 28 confirmed duplex/two-family listings (9 MA corridor, 19 RI) plus 13 larger multi-family or non-duplex entries carried as context, with Sharon MA, Stoughton MA, Jamestown RI and Bonnet Shores RI all at zero confirmed duplexes. The cheapest active buildable parcel is 145 Winthrop St, Rehoboth MA at $225,000 (3.18 ac, approved 4-bedroom septic, re-confirmed unchanged), the cheapest corridor entry overall is Atkinson Avenue Ext, Stoughton MA at $99,000 but it is pending and zoned commercial, and 32 Thayer Farm Rd, Attleboro MA is still pending at $699,000 after a 2026-08-09 cut from $739,000. Norwood Hospital is re-confirmed closed with no ER — Gov. Healey signed the eminent-domain bill circa 2026-08-09 authorizing DCAMM to seize the 11-acre site effective 2026-11-01, two operators remain in talks with Medical Properties Trust, and the Mass General Brigham deal appears stalled after MPT reportedly raised its ask from $250M to $375M — so the 15-minute hospital rule still fails the Canton/Stoughton/Sharon/Norwood MA end of the corridor, and Norwood MA is again flagged as a Franklin/Foxboro line town whose nearest Providence/Stoughton station is Canton Junction at an estimated 10–15 min. Narragansett RI's STR permit-cap ordinance remains enjoined with no 2026 merits ruling found, and Rhode Island's 5% whole-home STR tax is confirmed in effect since 2026-01-01 for a combined lodging rate up to 14%. Homes.com, eXp Realty, Land.com, LandWatch, LandSearch and William Raveis were the accessible sources while Zillow and Redfin search grids were largely gated, leaving an estimated 15–40% of inventory unconfirmed depending on cluster; all drive times are estimates and the RI rate benchmarks are directional. |
| 2026-08-18 | 20 corridor land & home listings across all seven towns (15 active, 3 pending, 2 contingent; Rehoboth MA deepest at 7, Canton MA thinnest at 1, Norwood MA down to a single active parcel), 10 RI beach-area weekly-rental buy candidates with 2 named no-rental communities excluded and a 55+ land-lease park flagged, and 30 duplex/two-family entries (11 MA corridor including 1 unconfirmed at 38 Dean St, Rehoboth MA; 19 RI) plus 8 larger multi-family properties carried as context, with Sharon MA and Stoughton MA at zero confirmed duplexes and Jamestown RI and Bonnet Shores RI unverified. Cheapest active parcel is 145 Winthrop St, Rehoboth MA at $225,000 (3.18 ac, approved 4-bedroom septic, re-confirmed unchanged), the cheapest corridor entry overall is 0 Britton Ave, Stoughton MA at $100,000 but it is contingent, and 32 Thayer Farm Rd, Attleboro MA remains pending at $699,000. Norwood Hospital is re-confirmed closed with no ER — shell roughly 75% complete, Gov. Healey signed the eminent-domain law in early August 2026 with Medical Properties Trust reportedly given until 2026-11-01 to sell voluntarily, no operator and no reopening date — so the 15-minute hospital rule still fails the Canton/Stoughton/Sharon/Norwood MA end of the corridor, and Norwood MA is also re-flagged as a Franklin/Foxboro line town rather than Providence/Stoughton. Narragansett RI's STR permit-cap ordinance remains enjoined with no 2026 merits ruling found, and Rhode Island's 5% whole-home STR tax is confirmed in effect since 2026-01-01 for a combined lodging rate up to 14%. Homes.com, Zillow detail pages, LandSearch, Land.com, Raveis and Boston Pads were the accessible sources while Redfin and LandWatch were gated, leaving an estimated 15–40% of inventory unconfirmed depending on cluster, with all drive times estimates and the RI rate benchmarks directional. |
| 2026-08-17 | 32 corridor land & home listings across all seven towns (23 active, 9 pending; Norwood MA zero active, Rehoboth MA deepest at 17), 11 RI beach-area weekly-rental buy candidates with 2 named no-rental communities excluded and 1 age-restricted land-lease park flagged, and 28 duplexes (11 MA corridor including 1 unconfirmed, 17 RI; Stoughton MA, Sharon MA, Bonnet Shores RI and Saunderstown RI at zero confirmed and Jamestown RI unverified); cheapest active parcel is 145 Winthrop St, Rehoboth MA at $225,000 (3.18 ac, approved 4-bedroom septic), 32 Thayer Farm Rd, Attleboro MA is now pending at $699,000 after a $40,000 cut, Norwood Hospital remains closed with no ER though Gov. Healey signed the eminent-domain law on 2026-08-04 with the shell roughly 75% complete and two operators in talks so the 15-minute hospital rule still fails the Canton/Stoughton/Sharon/Norwood MA end of the corridor, Narragansett RI's STR permit-cap ordinance remains enjoined with the litigation unresolved, Rhode Island's 5% whole-home STR tax is confirmed in effect since 2026-01-01 for a 14% combined lodging rate, and Homes.com/LandSearch/Land.com were the primary accessible sources with Zillow/Redfin gated, leaving an estimated 10–20% of inventory unconfirmed and the RI rate benchmarks directional. |
| 2026-08-16 | 26 corridor land & home listings across all seven towns (19 active, 7 pending; Norwood MA zero active, Rehoboth MA deepest at 10), 11 RI beach-area weekly-rental buy candidates (several flagged on geography or community rules) with 2 named no-rental communities excluded and 1 more flagged unverified, and 29 verified duplexes (11 MA corridor, 18 RI; Stoughton MA, Sharon MA, Jamestown RI and Bonnet Shores RI at zero confirmed); cheapest active parcel is 156 Rocky Hill Rd, Rehoboth MA at $229,000 (2.0 ac, perc-tested), 32 Thayer Farm Rd, Attleboro MA shows at $739,000 this run, Norwood Hospital remains closed with no ER (shell ~75% complete, MGB talks broke down over price, two other operators in talks under the eminent-domain law) so the 15-minute hospital rule still fails Canton/Stoughton/Sharon/Norwood MA, Narragansett RI's STR permit-cap ordinance remains enjoined and unenforced, and Homes.com/LandSearch were the primary accessible sources with Zillow/Redfin gated (an estimated 10–20% of inventory unconfirmed). |
| 2026-08-15 | 32 corridor land & home listings across all seven towns (22 active, 10 pending; Norwood MA zero active, Rehoboth MA deepest at 15), 10 RI beach-area weekly-rental buy candidates with 3 named no-rental communities excluded, and 34 verified duplexes (17 MA corridor, 17 RI; Sharon MA, Jamestown RI, Bonnet Shores RI and Saunderstown RI at zero confirmed); cheapest active parcel is 145 Winthrop St, Rehoboth MA at $225,000 (3.18 ac), strongest all-round parcel remains 32 Thayer Farm Rd, Attleboro MA at $699,000 after its $40,000 cut, Norwood Hospital remains closed with no ER (eminent-domain law signed 2026-08-07, two operators in talks) so the 15-minute hospital rule still fails Canton/Stoughton/Sharon/Norwood MA, and Narragansett RI's STR permit-cap ordinance remains enjoined and unenforced; Zillow was unusually readable for Mansfield/Attleboro/Rehoboth MA this run but gated for the northern corridor and RI, and Redfin was gated corridor-wide. |
| 2026-08-14 | 25 corridor land & home listings across all seven towns (18 active, 7 pending), 9 RI beach-area weekly-rental buy candidates (Jamestown RI and Warwick RI entries flagged on price/geography) with 3 named no-rental cottage colonies excluded, and 27 verified duplexes (14 MA corridor, 13 RI; Sharon MA and Jamestown RI confirmed zero); cheapest active parcel is 145 Winthrop St, Rehoboth MA at $225,000 (approved septic design), strongest all-round parcel remains 32 Thayer Farm Rd, Attleboro MA at $699,000 after its $40,000 cut, and Norwood Hospital remains closed with no ER (eminent-domain takeover law signed 2026-08-07, two operators in talks) so the 15-minute hospital rule still fails Canton/Stoughton/Sharon/Norwood MA. |
| 2026-08-13 | 37 qualifying corridor listings across all seven in-scope towns (26 active, 10 pending, 1 status-unconfirmed) — Rehoboth MA is again by far the deepest at 16 but every parcel fails the 10-minute rail rule at an estimated 18–22 minutes, Norwood MA again returns zero active inventory, and Sharon MA is unusually strong at four actives. The cheapest entries are Atkinson Avenue Ext, Stoughton MA at $99,000 (pending, commercial zoning) and 0 Britton Ave, Stoughton MA at $100,000 (active this run), the cheapest active buildable residential parcel with a public utility confirmed is 145 Winthrop St, Rehoboth MA at $225,000 with public water at the street, and the strongest all-round parcel is again 32 Thayer Farm Rd, Attleboro MA, now asking $699,000 after a $40,000 cut, with a new 5-bedroom septic and an estimated 8–10 minutes to both Attleboro Station and Sturdy Memorial. Norwood Hospital is re-confirmed still closed with no ER on site — two operators are reportedly in takeover talks under the 2026 eminent-domain law but only a limited urgent-care operation exists there — so the 15-minute hospital criterion effectively fails corridor-wide except at the Attleboro MA / Mansfield MA end near Sturdy Memorial. 10 RI beach-area rental buy candidates plus 1 flagged Bonnet Shores cabana non-dwelling, with 3 named no-rental cottage colonies excluded (Mary Carpenter's Beach Meadow and Roy Carpenter's Beach in South Kingstown RI, and the independently discovered Knowles Camp on Burnside Ave, Narragansett RI); zero mobile/manufactured homes again in every target beach town, and the Warwick RI shore micro-neighborhoods return zero geographically confirmed candidates this run. Narragansett RI's 2024 permit-cap ordinance remains enjoined and unenforced with the town drafting a zoning-based rewrite, and the statewide 5% RI whole-home STR tax is confirmed in force since 2026-01-01. The duplex section returns 36 two-unit properties — 14 in the MA corridor (Attleboro MA deepest at 4, from $525,000) and 22 in RI (Warwick RI deepest at 8, Warren RI at 5) — with Jamestown RI confirmed at zero duplex inventory, and Zillow unusually readable for RI while Redfin was fully gated corridor-wide. |
| 2026-08-12 | 21 qualifying corridor listings across all seven in-scope towns (14 active, 7 pending) — Rehoboth MA is again by far the deepest at 10, but every Rehoboth parcel fails the 10-minute rail rule at an estimated 18–22 minutes, while Attleboro MA and Mansfield MA each return exactly one confirmed in-band listing, which is genuine market thinness rather than a search shortfall after paging the full LandSearch inventory for both towns. The cheapest entry by a wide margin is 156 Rocky Hill Rd, Rehoboth MA at $229,000, an active vacant buildable 2.0-acre lot, and the strongest all-round parcel is 32 Thayer Farm Rd, Attleboro MA at $739,000 — 2.1 acres with a new 5-bedroom septic system, oil tank and generator, and the only corridor listing this run that clears all four amenity rules at an estimated 10–12 minutes to Attleboro Station and 8–10 minutes to Sturdy Memorial. Only two parcels have any public utility confirmed at all: 10 Cobbler Ln, Sharon MA (public water at street) and 100 S Main St, Attleboro MA (public water and sewer). Norwood Hospital is re-confirmed still closed — the rebuild is roughly 75% complete and Massachusetts signed an eminent-domain law on 2026-08-07 to force a conveyance to a nonprofit operator, with two operators reportedly in talks, but there is no functioning ER on site and no reopening date, so the 15-minute hospital criterion continues to fail for Sharon MA and Norwood MA at an estimated 15–25 minutes. 13 RI beach-area rental buy candidates plus 2 hard-excluded no-rental cottage colonies, with 165 Canfield Ave, Warwick RI at $249,900 the cheapest entry and the Oakland Beach pocket of Warwick RI supplying six sub-$470,000 small cottages; zero on-MLS mobile or manufactured homes exist in any target beach town this run, and a $175,000–$225,000 pair at 175 Bonnet Point Rd, Narragansett RI is flagged and excluded as 16–32-square-foot cabana units rather than dwellings. Narragansett RI still posts the best rental economics at a $545 average daily rate on 65% occupancy across 1,067 tracked listings, but its 2024 permit-cap ordinance remains unenforced under a Superior Court injunction with the town council last seen in December 2025 trying to re-codify it as zoning and no resolution found since; the statewide 5% RI whole-home short-term-rental tax and the 1%-to-2% local hotel tax increase are both confirmed in force since 2026-01-01. The duplex section returns 30 verified two-unit properties — 12 in the MA corridor (Attleboro MA deepest at 4, from $525,000) and 18 in RI, concentrated in Warwick RI at 9 and Warren RI at 4 — with Sharon MA, Mansfield MA and North Kingstown RI all returning confirmed zero duplex inventory. |
| 2026-08-11 | 17 qualifying corridor listings across all seven in-scope towns (12 active, 4 pending, 1 status-unconfirmed) — Rehoboth MA is again deepest at 7 but every parcel fails the 10-minute rail rule at an estimated 18–22 minutes, Norwood MA returns a single already-pending listing and zero active inventory, and Sharon MA carries three including two actives. The cheapest entries are 145 Winthrop St, Rehoboth MA at $225,000 and 156 Rocky Hill Rd, Rehoboth MA at $229,000, both perc-tested active buildable lots, while Lot 7 Pleasant St, Attleboro MA at $240,000 is the only corridor parcel this run with public water explicitly confirmed and an approved building permit and septic design already in hand — and at an estimated 5–8 minutes to Attleboro Station and Sturdy Memorial it is the strongest all-round parcel found. Norwood Hospital is re-confirmed permanently closed since the June 2020 flood, with Massachusetts signing an eminent-domain law on 2026-08-07 to force a reopening but no functioning ER on site today, so the 15-minute hospital criterion still fails for Sharon MA and Norwood MA at an estimated 15–22 minutes and continues to argue for the Attleboro MA and Mansfield MA end of the corridor. 5 RI beach-area rental buy candidates plus 2 hard-excluded no-rental cottage colonies and 1 flagged 55+ leased-land community, with 175 Bonnet Point Rd Unit N16, Narragansett RI at $225,000 the cheapest entry but flagged as a 32-square-foot beach cabana rather than a dwelling; Narragansett RI still posts the strongest weekly-rental economics at roughly $538 average daily rate on 65% occupancy across about 964 tracked listings, its 2024 permit-cap ordinance remains frozen under Superior Court injunction with the litigation unresolved, and the statewide 5% RI whole-home short-term-rental tax is confirmed in force since 2026-01-01. New this run: a dedicated duplex section returns 14 verified two-unit properties, 11 in the MA corridor (Attleboro MA deepest at 5, from $525,000) and 3 on the Warwick RI shore corridor, with Sharon MA, Mansfield MA and Jamestown RI all returning confirmed zero duplex inventory. |
| 2026-08-10 | 30 qualifying corridor listings across all seven in-scope towns (17 active, 12 pending, 1 status-unconfirmed) — Rehoboth MA is again deepest at 10 but every parcel fails the 10-minute rail rule at an estimated 18–22 minutes, Norwood MA returns a single already-under-agreement listing and zero active inventory, and Stoughton MA carries the most volume at 6 though four are pending and two are commercially zoned. The cheapest entries are Atkinson Avenue Ext, Stoughton MA at $99,000 (pending, commercial zoning) and 0 Britton Ave, Stoughton MA at $100,000 (pending), while the cheapest genuinely active buildable residential parcel is 156 Rocky Hill Rd, Rehoboth MA at $229,000, perc-tested and explicitly confirmed buildable; utilities remain unconfirmed on nearly every other parcel.
