South Shore Real Estate Overview

The South Shore continues to be one of the most desirable and competitive real estate markets in Massachusetts. With coastal lifestyle appeal, excellent schools, commuter access to Boston, and diverse housing options, buyers remain extremely active — even in a shifting economic environment.

At The Charles King Group, we’re seeing strong buyer demand across most towns, consistent pricing, and continued interest from Boston relocators and out-of-state buyers seeking more space and a coastal lifestyle.

Key Trends:

• Hingham, Cohasset, and Duxbury remain premium coastal markets.

• Norwell, Milton, and Marshfield show some of the fastest-moving inventory.

• Plymouth, Quincy, and Weymouth lead in total sales volume.

• Hull shows the slowest days on market due to unique property variability.

Let’s break it down.
