23. Scituate Market Update – September 2025: Luxury Prices Surge, Inventory Shifts, and What Buyers & Sellers Need to Know

The Scituate real estate market continues to showcase its strength, with August 2025 numbers pointing to a competitive, high-value environment. The median sold price surged to $1,100,000, marking a sharp 15.8% month-over-month increase and a striking 45% jump compared to the same period two years ago. Homes are selling at lightning speed, with a median of just 5 days on market, and buyers are paying an average of 100.8% of list price—proof that well-presented homes are still generating strong offers

At the same time, the market is showing nuanced shifts. Inventory climbed to 1.96 months—up 33.5% from last month—giving buyers slightly more choice while still firmly keeping Scituate in seller’s market territory. Active listing prices saw an adjustment, with the median list price down 7.4% month-over-month to $1.25M. This recalibration suggests sellers are responding to affordability pressures, but the demand for Scituate homes remains robust

Closed sales underscore the diversity of activity in town. Recent transactions ranged from $765,000 for a two-bedroom condo to nearly $2.9M for a coastal single-family home. Pending activity also reflects demand across all segments, with properties from the $600Ks through multi-million-dollar listings under agreement. These dynamics highlight Scituate’s unique position as both a luxury destination and a desirable community for a wide range of buyers

The long-term picture is equally impressive. Median estimated property values in Scituate are up 10% year-over-year and nearly 18% over the past three years. Even with slight month-to-month corrections, the trend line continues to favor homeowners who have seen steady equity growth. For sellers, this remains an opportune time to capitalize on market momentum—strategic pricing and strong marketing can generate multiple offers in days. For buyers, preparation is everything. With properties moving so quickly, having financing secured and working with a local expert can make all the difference in securing a home in this competitive environment

As we move into fall, the market may present more inventory, offering buyers additional options. Yet, with Scituate’s coastal charm, strong schools, and proximity to Boston, demand is unlikely to wane. Expect competition to remain strong, particularly for turnkey homes in prime locations.

If you’re a homeowner wondering about your property’s current value, or a buyer trying to navigate this high-stakes market, this episode delivers the latest data, context, and expert insight to guide your decisions.
