Below is a full look at Plymouth County, MA housing data for June 2026, with takeaways for buyers and sellers navigating late summer.
U.S. Housing Market Snapshot
| Median Sale Price | Pending Sales | Active Listings | Days on Market | Buyer-Seller Balance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $408,776 (+2.2% YoY) | 349,254 (+4.5% YoY) | 1,496,490 (+0.8% YoY) | 49 days (+1 day YoY) | Sellers outnumber buyers by 48.5% |
By every metric that matters to buyers, Plymouth County outpaced the broader U.S. trend. Nationally, the median sale price rose about 2% to $408,776, pending sales grew roughly 5%, and inventory sat essentially flat. Plymouth County’s demand accelerated, prices grew nearly twice as fast, and homes sold in less than half the time it took nationally. Where the rest of the country inched forward, this market sprinted.
“June marked a bump in the road for the ongoing housing market recovery,” said Chen Zhao, Redfin’s head of economics research. “Prices climbed faster than in recent months, and economic uncertainty and rising mortgage rates tied to war in Iran spooked some homebuyers and sellers. On a positive note, home sales trended upwards, and affordability improved as wages rose faster than prices. There are pockets of competition in the Midwest, Northeast, and Bay Area, but in general, consumers are still struggling through a difficult period. Even so, economists still expect the market to slowly improve in the coming years.”
Plymouth County Prices Grew Nearly Double the National Rate
Plymouth County’s price momentum continued unbroken in June, the typical home sold for nearly $690,000, roughly 4% more than a year ago. Nationally, prices rose 2.2%. Plymouth County has appreciated roughly 72% since early 2020, and prices have remained above $600,000 for 18 consecutive months. The median price per square foot rose 1.5% year over year to $383, indicating that the gains reflected underlying value rather than a shift in the mix of homes sold.
Price reductions remained relatively uncommon. About 19% of active listings carried a price cut, up just 1 percentage point from a year ago. The typical home sold for 1.3% above its list price, and 57% of sales closed above asking, up 4 percentage points year over year. Sellers in Plymouth County set their prices accurately and buyers consistently met or exceeded them.
Pending Sales Surged as Buyers Competed for Plymouth County Homes
Sellers in Plymouth County controlled the tempo. The typical home sold for about 1% above asking, closed in 20 days, and 57% of all sales exceeded list price, up 4 percentage points from last June. That above-list share was more than double the national norm. About 54% of listings went under contract within two weeks, compared with 31% nationally. The local rate slipped roughly 3 percentage points from a year ago, suggesting a mild deceleration from last spring’s peak pace rather than any fundamental shift in urgency.
Pending sales told the more dramatic story: they jumped 28% year over year to 808, far outpacing the national gain of about 5%. Homes sold rose 18% and the median days on market held steady at 20, less than half the national figure of 49. The volume of deals being struck suggested that demand was not simply holding steady but actively accelerating.
New Supply Arrived. But Buyers Absorbed It Quickly
Plymouth County saw new listings surge about 14% year over year to 831 in June and the highest June total since 2020. Sellers who had been reluctant to trade their low-rate mortgages for higher borrowing costs finally decided to move, drawn by prices that remained near record levels. Nationally, new listings inched up a mere 0.2% to 395,154, making Plymouth County’s expansion a distinctly local phenomenon.
Despite the supply influx, buyers absorbed the additional listings at pace. Pending sales and homes sold both grew, and the median time on market stayed well below national norms. Supply remained tight in absolute terms-months of inventory stayed below balanced-market thresholds, even as the year-over-year growth looked dramatic. Sellers benefited from listing into demand that matched or exceeded the new supply; buyers gained slightly more selection without gaining meaningful pricing power.
Starter Homes Led in Volume While Luxury Prices Spiked
| Price Tier | Median Price (YoY) | Sold (YoY) | DOM (YoY) | % Above List (YoY) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Luxury (top 5%) | $3,045,588 (+27.4%)* | 34 (+21.4%) | 65 days (+38 days) | 17.6% (-3.8 ppt) |
| High (65th-95th%) | $1,196,532 (+5.7%) | 222 (0%) | 22 days (+3 days) | 53.2% (+4.5 ppt) |
| Non-luxury (35th-65th%) | $740,165 (+1.4%) | 331 (-5.7%) | 27 days (+4 days) | 45.6% (-5.9 ppt) |
| Starter (5th-35th%) | $516,185 (+5.8%) | 502 (-7.0%) | 24 days (+4 days) | 52.6% (-5.2 ppt) |
| Bottom (bottom 5%) | $290,600 (+2.1%) | 68 (0%) | 26 days (-1 day) | 35.3% (+2.9 ppt) |
Redfin analysis of MLS data • Rolling three-month period (March-May 2026) • *Luxury tier based on 34 sales; interpret with caution.
The high tier climbed 6% year over year with more than half of homes selling above list price, and above-list activity rose 5 percentage points. Starter homes, the most active segment by volume, saw 6% price growth but a 7% decline in sales, and above-list activity fell 5 percentage points. That pattern suggested buyers in the starter tier faced fewer bidding wars than a year ago even as prices rose.
The luxury tier posted a 27% price gain, but only 34 homes sold in this bracket and days on market jumped 38 days to 65. That combination, extreme price growth on low volume with slow absorption, likely reflected a small number of high-value closings skewing the median rather than broad luxury demand. Buyers in the high tier faced the most consistent competition; those shopping in the Non-luxury middle had slightly more leverage than a year earlier.
How Buyers and Sellers Can Navigate Plymouth County’s Market
If you’re buying in Plymouth County, preparation is your best tool in a market this tight. Homes sold in a median of 20 days and more than half went above asking. Get financing fully approved, not just pre-qualified, before touring. With only 2 months of supply available, desirable properties attract multiple offers quickly. The high tier saw the fiercest above-list activity; buyers in the starter and non-luxury segments encountered slightly less intensity but still needed to move decisively.
If you’re selling, conditions strongly favor confident pricing, but homes that sat had usually started too high. The average home sold for about 1% above list, inventory turned over quickly, and fewer than 20% of listings needed a price cut. New listing activity was up 14%, meaning you’re competing with more sellers than last year. Set an honest price aligned with recent comparable sales, and you’ll likely draw multiple competitive offers. Overprice it, though, and the listing risks stalling while fresh inventory pulls buyers elsewhere.
