The Duxbury real estate market continues to make headlines in 2025, with August data highlighting both resilience and new challenges. The median sold price jumped to $970,000, up 23% month-over-month, underscoring strong demand for homes in this desirable coastal town

Buyers are paying an average of 98.5% of list price, showing that while bidding wars remain, sellers need to price smartly to get deals done

Inventory is creeping higher, with 2.86 months of supply, a 13.8% increase compared to last month. This still firmly favors sellers, but the added inventory is beginning to give buyers more breathing room. The luxury segment is especially notable: the median active list price skyrocketed to $2.26 million, up nearly 56% in a single month

Closed sales in August reflected this diversity, ranging from a $649,000 condo on Lincoln Street to a $2.85 million luxury single-family home on Cedar Street. Pending activity shows strength across every price point, with properties from $429,000 condos to $8.99 million estates under agreement

Over the past year, median estimated property values rose 5.7%, while three-year growth stands at more than 21%. Homeowners are sitting on significant equity gains, and sellers who strategically market and price their properties are well-positioned to take advantage of this moment

For sellers, the message is clear: the market remains in your favor, but precision matters more than ever. Overpricing risks longer days on market, while the right pricing strategy can lead to multiple offers and strong results. For buyers, patience and preparation are key. With inventory on the rise, opportunities are opening up, but well-positioned homes are still moving fast.
As fall approaches, expect more listings to hit the market, especially in the luxury bracket, but demand is not going anywhere. Duxbury remains a market defined by high expectations and high rewards.
