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…

Monthly Report

Despite a volatile global start to 2026, Nantucket’s first-quarter real estate market performed relatively well from both a transaction and dollar volume standpoint. March recorded 17 transactions totaling just over $90 million in sales, bringing the year-to-date total to 54 property transfers and $252 million in dollar volume. Compared to a notably strong first quarter in 2025, transaction volume in 1Q26 declined by 24 percent, while overall dollar volume decreased by only seven percent, driven largely by several high-end sales. Early inventory indicators suggest another year of constrained supply; however, a harsh winter across the Northeast may have delayed activity, leaving the trajectory of the spring market yet to be determined. New purchase activity started the year at a slower pace than last year, aligning more closely with the moderated trends seen in 2024.

Annual Report

For the five years preceding 2020, Nantucket real estate activity was largely consistent from year to year. Annual transactions averaged around 450 property sales, totaling near $1 billion in dollar volume. This steady pattern was disrupted during the pandemic peak when transactions skyrocketed from 423 sales in 2019 to 732 sales in 2021 and dollar volume surged handily past $2 billion.

Between 2023-2024, transactions cooled to around 300 annual sales, while property values marginally improved upon their sizable gains from 2021-2022, keeping total dollar volume at impressive figures. 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.
