South Shore Market Update — Single-Family Home Sales (May 3 – November 3, 2025)

Market Overview

The South Shore housing market remained active through the spring, summer, and early fall of 2025 — balancing steady buyer demand with increasing inventory. Between May 3 and November 3, 2025, MLS PIN data shows notable consistency in both pricing and days on market, signaling a stable and more predictable environment for both buyers and sellers.

From Abington to Weymouth, most towns saw median days on market hovering between 19 and 21 days, a sign that well-priced homes continue to attract attention despite the shift toward a more normalized market pace.

Luxury markets like Cohasset, Hingham, Duxbury, Milton, and Scituate continued to lead the region in median sale prices — each exceeding $1 million — while emerging markets such as Hanover, Marshfield, and Kingston delivered strong performances, maintaining steady activity across all price points.

📈 Key Market Highlights

• Top Performer by Units Sold: Plymouth led the region with 384 single-family sales, followed by Weymouth (232) and Quincy (205).

• Highest Median Sale Price: Cohasset came in at $1,467,500, continuing its streak as one of the most sought-after luxury markets on the South Shore.

• Fastest-Moving Market: Norwell homes sold the quickest with a median of 17 days on market, reflecting strong buyer demand for family-friendly communities with easy highway access.

• Most Affordable Options: Abington and Pembroke offered more entry-level opportunities, with median sale prices under $675,000.

• Balanced Activity Across the Board: Median prices in core towns like Hanover ($875,000) and Marshfield ($844,000) reflected solid mid-range strength, while waterfront and commuter-access communities maintained healthy momentum through Q3 and into early Q4.

💬 What This Means for Buyers and Sellers

If you’re thinking about making a move before the end of the year, the data paints a clear picture: pricing remains steady, competition has normalized, and well-prepared listings are still moving quickly.

For sellers, now’s the time to focus on presentation and pricing strategy — homes that align with today’s buyer expectations are achieving excellent results.
For buyers, a balanced market means more room to negotiate and less urgency to overpay, especially in towns where inventory has expanded.
