South Shore Market Update: Single-Family Home Sales (April 7 – October 7, 2025)

The South Shore housing market has remained active throughout the spring and summer months, with steady buyer demand and growing inventory shaping the dynamics of this year’s market. Between April 7 and October 7, 2025, MLS PIN data shows strong single-family home sales activity across the region, with notable trends in pricing, time on market, and town-by-town performance.

Market Overview

From Abington to Weymouth, South Shore towns continue to attract both local buyers and those relocating from Boston. Median sale prices remain historically high in many markets, while days on market have generally held steady, signaling that well-priced homes are still moving efficiently even as buyers have more choices than they did a year ago.

Across the region, median days on market averaged around 20 days, reflecting a balanced environment where motivated buyers and strategic sellers are finding common ground.

Median Sale Prices and Hotspots

Several South Shore towns continue to post strong median sale prices:

• Cohasset and Hingham lead the way with median sale prices of $1.43M and $1.41M, respectively, with price-per-square-foot figures north of $550.

• Duxbury ($1.24M), Norwell ($1.21M), and Scituate ($1.17M) also remain top-tier coastal markets, offering high-end lifestyle and strong long-term value.

• Milton continues to bridge Greater Boston and the South Shore, maintaining a solid $1.1M median sale price and one of the lowest median days on market (19 days).

• Plymouth, with 362 homes sold, had the highest sales volume — showing its continued popularity for buyers seeking affordability and amenities.

For more moderately priced options, towns like Abington ($622,500), Pembroke ($670,000), and Weymouth ($665,000) continue to provide opportunities for first-time and move-up buyers alike.

Time on Market Trends

Across the South Shore, homes are taking about three weeks or less to sell in most towns, with the exception of Hull (36.5 days) and Plymouth (23.5 days), where larger inventory and pricing diversity tend to extend the marketing timeline. The shortest timeframes continue to be seen in Norwell (17 days) and Milton (19 days), underscoring their high demand and limited supply.

What This Means for Buyers and Sellers

As we head deeper into Q4, sellers should recognize that pricing strategy is more important than ever. While demand remains strong, buyers are negotiating more and taking their time compared to 2021–2023 levels. Homes priced correctly from day one are still seeing excellent activity and clean offers.

For buyers, the current market offers more opportunities and less competition than in recent years, particularly in the mid- to upper-tier price ranges. Seasonal slowdowns in late fall and winter often create windows for value-driven purchases — especially for those ready to act decisively.
