The MLS Property Information Network reported that a total of 20 Canton MA homes were sold during the month of August 2015. This was 26% lower than the 27 sold the month prior. But it was exactly the same amount as were sold during the same time last year. With the exception of 2012, the Canton MA market typically sees sales of around 19 to 20 during the month of August.
