Plymouth County outperformed national trends in every metric that matters to buyers. Nationally, the median sales price rose about 2% to $408,776, pending sales increased about 5% and inventory was roughly flat. Demand in Plymouth County accelerated, prices rose nearly twice as fast, and homes sold in less than half the time nationally. This market has boomed as other parts of the country have inched forward.
“June marked a crossroads in the continued recovery of the housing market,” said Chen Zhao, head of economic research at Redfin. “Prices rose faster than in recent months, with economic uncertainty related to the Iran war and rising mortgage rates spooking some home buyers and sellers.On the bright side, home sales are trending upwards and wages have risen faster than prices, helping There are areas of competition in the Midwest, Northeast, and Gulf Coast regions, but in general, consumers are still weathering a difficult period. Still, economists expect the market to improve gradually over the next few years.”
Plymouth County prices rise nearly twice the national rate
Plymouth County’s price momentum continued unabated in June, with the typical home selling for nearly $690,000, about 4% more than a year ago. Nationally, it rose by 2.2%. Plymouth County is up about 72% since the beginning of 2020, with prices above $600,000 for 18 consecutive months. Median price per square foot increased 1.5% year-over-year to $383, indicating that the increase reflects underlying value rather than a change in the mix of homes sold.
Price cuts remained relatively rare. Approximately 19% of active listings had price reductions, an increase of just 1 percentage point year over year. The typical home sold for 1.3% above list price, and 57% of sales closed above asking price, an increase of 4 percentage points from a year ago. Plymouth County sellers set their prices accurately and buyers consistently met or exceeded their prices.
Pending sales surge as buyers compete for Plymouth County homes
Plymouth County sellers controlled the tempo. The typical home sold for about 1% above asking price, closed within 20 days, and 57% of all sales were above list price, an increase of 4 percentage points from last June. The share on this list was more than double the national standard. Approximately 54% of properties went under contract within two weeks, compared to 31% nationally. Local interest rates are about 3 percentage points lower than a year ago, suggesting a gradual slowdown from last spring’s peak pace rather than a fundamental change in urgency.
Pending sales numbers tell a more dramatic story. Sales increased 28% year over year to 808 sales, far outpacing the national growth rate of about 5%. Home sales rose 18%, and the median days on market remained flat at 20 days, less than half the national figure of 49 days. The number of deals suggested that demand was not just stable, but actively accelerating.
New supplies have arrived. But buyers quickly absorbed it
In Plymouth County, the number of new listings in June increased by about 14% from the same month last year to 831, making it the highest total for June since 2020. Sellers who had been reluctant to take on low-interest mortgages because of higher borrowing costs were finally tempted by prices, which were hovering near record levels, to make the move. Nationally, the number of new listings increased by just 0.2% to 395,154, making Plymouth County’s expansion clearly a local phenomenon.
Despite the influx of supply, buyers quickly digested the additional listings. Both the number of pending sales and the number of sold homes increased, and the median time on market remained well below national standards. Despite the seemingly dramatic year-on-year growth, absolute supply remained tight and months of inventory remained below equilibrium market norms. Sellers benefited by listing when demand equaled or exceeded new supply. Buyers have slightly increased choice without gaining meaningful pricing power.
Starter home sales lead while luxury home prices soar

More than half of the homes sold above list price, with the top tier up 6% year-over-year and above-list price activity up 5 points. Starter homes, the most active segment by sales volume, saw prices rise by 6%, but sales fell by 7% and activity for the above list fell by 5 percentage points. This pattern suggests that starter-tier buyers face fewer bidding wars than a year ago, even though prices have risen.
The luxury segment recorded a 27% price increase, but only 34 homes sold in this segment and the number of days on the market jumped from 38 to 65 days. This combination, extreme price increases in small volumes and slow absorption, likely reflects a small number of high-priced deals distorting the median price, rather than widespread demand for luxury goods. Buyers in the upper tier faced the most consistent competition. The influence of non-luxury middle class shoppers has increased slightly from a year ago.
How buyers and sellers can navigate the Plymouth County market
When shopping in Plymouth County, preparation is your best bet in such a tight market. Homes sold in a median of 20 days, and more than half sold for more than their asking price. Get pre-qualification as well as full financing approval before your tour. With only two months of supply, desirable properties quickly attract multiple offers. In the upper tier, more than list activity was most intense. Buyers in the starter and non-luxury segments saw slightly less momentum, but still needed to take decisive action.
When selling, conditions are very favorable to confident pricing, but abandoned homes typically start at too high a price. The average home sold for about 1% above listing, inventory turned over quickly, and fewer than 20% of listings required a price reduction. New listing activity increased 14%. This means you’re competing with more sellers than last year. Setting honest prices that align with recent comparable sales increases your chances of getting multiple competitive offers. But if prices are too high, there’s a risk that listings will stall while fresh inventory draws buyers elsewhere.
