The Nantucket Real Estate Market

For a relatively small island 30 miles out to sea, the local market is anything but small. In fact, over the last few years, annual sales volume have ranged from $1.3-$2 billion through 300-700 transactions. Single-family home sales range from $400,000 to $42 million+, with the average sale price around $4.9 million. A market as dynamic as Nantucket’s deserves regular, comprehensive analysis, which you’ll find here on our insights page. From charts and graphs to our monthly and annual reports, we cover the market from all sides. Take a look…

Annual Report

The 2025 market marked a reacceleration of activity across the island. Every segment of the market, including residential properties, commercial properties and vacant land, experienced double-digit transaction growth. For the first time since 2021, transactions surpassed 400, approaching pre-pandemic norms.

While market activity followed its typical seasonal crescendo, the second half of the year packed a huge punch with the third and fourth quarters posting roughly double the transaction activity of the first and second quarters. The 270 transactions posted in the second half of the year were materially higher than any quarter since 2022 such that by year’s end, there were 417 transactions totaling $1.81 billion on the books, a respective increase of 34 percent for both metrics from 2024.
