The farm math
20,006 mailable homes carry a Bedford address across 23 Census block groups. We measured it against our address map: a 100-home farm around a typical Bedford address spans about 1810 feet — wider streets, bigger lots. Where homes spread out, the mailbox is the neighborhood bulletin board — a card does the job a yard sign can't.
The equity picture
The median Bedford home is valued at $228,100, up 6.7% across the last two ACS five-year estimates — the kind of steady equity build that turns into a move-up listing when the timing lands. One listing at that median is roughly $5,700 in gross commission at a 2.5% side — a 100-card farm touch costs about what you'd spend on a single boosted social post.
The listing supply
78.4% of occupied Bedford homes are owner-occupied — nearly every mailbox in a farm here belongs to a potential future seller, not a property manager. The median Bedford home dates to 1979 — established streets where ownership runs long and a listing event next door is the strongest prompt an owner ever gets.
One closing. One hundred mailboxes. One name they remember.

Real estate farming in Bedford, answered with numbers.
20,006 mailable residential addresses carry a Bedford mailing address in the Quillus map, across 23 Census block groups. A productive farm is a slice of that — Quillus builds farms from the 100 homes physically nearest any address you pick (a closing, a listing, your own block), so every card lands where your name already means something.
The median Bedford home is valued at $228,100 (up 6.7% between the two most recent ACS five-year estimates). At a 2.5% commission side, one median listing is roughly $5,700 in gross commission — which is why a farm that produces even one extra listing a year pays for its postcards many times over.
Tighter than you'd think. Sampling real Bedford addresses against our map, the 100 nearest homes around a typical address sit within about 1810 feet (552 meters). That's a true neighborhood farm — the same streets, the same sight lines — not a ZIP-code mailing list. That distance is the farm's proximity radius — the working unit of proximity mail marketing.
Enter the sold property's address. Quillus finds the 100 nearest Bedford homes, builds each neighbor a card — your branding, the sale announcement, and a satellite view of their own home — and has them in the mail stream within 24 hours, while the sign is still in the yard. Every card carries its own QR code, so you see exactly which neighbors scanned.
Yes — by construction. Quillus targets on geography and housing-market signals only: distance from your address, home counts, values, housing stock. It never selects recipients by race, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, disability, or any other protected characteristic, and the Bedford figures on this page are aggregate housing-market statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau — not data about who lives in any home.
Two sources: the Quillus address map (155M+ geo-located U.S. addresses — the Bedford home counts and farm-radius figures are measured from it directly) and the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey 5-year estimates (2024 vintage) for home values and occupancy. Figures are city-level aggregates, refreshed when new ACS data ships.
Your next Bedford listing is on a street you already know.
