24. Plymouth Market Update – August 2025: Prices Hold, Inventory Rises, and What It Means for Buyers & Sellers

The Plymouth housing market remains one of the most closely watched on Boston’s South Shore, and August 2025 numbers reveal a dynamic mix of stability and change. The median sold price settled at $675,000—nearly flat compared to last month, down just 0.7%—but still up 12.5% year-over-year and nearly 29% higher than three years ago

Homes are still moving quickly, with median days on market climbing to just 16, nearly double from July but still competitive for a town of Plymouth’s size. Buyers remain motivated, paying an average of 101.2% of list price—an increase from the prior month—showing that well-positioned homes continue to generate strong offers

Inventory is where we’re seeing the most noticeable change. Plymouth posted 2.05 months of supply in August, a 12% increase from July. While this is still firmly in seller’s market territory, it marks a meaningful rise that could provide buyers with slightly more breathing room this fall. Active listings closed the month with a median list price of $775,000, down 3.1% from July, suggesting that sellers are adjusting expectations in response to shifting affordability

Recent activity shows the market’s diversity. New listings ranged from a $465,000 two-bedroom near White Horse Beach to nearly $979,000 for a four-bedroom colonial on Fairview Lane. Pending sales spanned every price tier, from starter homes in the mid-$300Ks to a newly built $1.2M property in Redbrook. Closings highlighted the breadth of demand, including a $440,000 Cape on Spooner Street, a $682,500 condo at Symington Drive, and a $965,000 single-family in Boatwrights Loop

Long-term trends confirm Plymouth’s strong footing. The median estimated property value now sits at $675,570, up 5.8% over the past year and more than 15% since 2023. Even with modest month-to-month dips, homeowners are sitting on significant equity gains

However, distressed filings—including foreclosure notices and new complaints—have ticked up, a sign that not every household is weathering higher costs with ease.

For sellers, this remains an advantageous market—but success depends on precision. Overpricing can leave homes sitting longer, while strategic pricing paired with professional marketing still draws multiple offers. For buyers, preparation is key. With homes selling in just over two weeks on average, securing financing and acting decisively are critical to success.

As we head into the fall season, expect inventory to increase modestly, providing more options for buyers, while sellers should remain confident in their property’s value. Plymouth’s mix of coastal living, historic charm, and diverse housing options continues to make it one of the South Shore’s strongest markets heading into 2026.
