Waterfront Homes Are on the Rise — Is Now the Time to Buy?

Across the South Shore, Cape Cod, and South Coast of Massachusetts, we’re seeing a noticeable uptick in the number of waterfront homes hitting the market. While demand for coastal living remains strong, the luxury market is showing signs of slowing.

Yes, some homes—especially those priced well and in top locations like Hingham or Chatham—are still selling in under a week. But more often, we’re seeing beautiful waterfront listings stay on the market for over 30 days. For buyers, this shift represents an opportunity: less competition, more room for negotiation, and the chance to purchase in areas that are typically ultra-competitive.

Whether you're envisioning summer mornings on the South Shore, a Cape Cod escape, or a serene South Coast retreat, now could be a smart time to make your move.

The Charles King Group is your trusted real estate resource for coastal properties across these regions. With local expertise and deep market knowledge, we’re here to help you find the right home at the right price.
