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

April 2026 transactions were relatively muted, tallying just a fraction of the transaction and dollar volume the market usually sees this time of year. In total, there were 13 property sales during the month totaling $30.4 million. This represents a respective decline of 57 percent and 68 percent from April 2025. On a cumulative basis, April transactions brought year-to-date figures to 67 property sales amounting to $283 million, a 34 percent decline in the number of properties sold during this time in 2025. Dollar volume was off 23 percent from the same period. Despite the decline in volume metrics, the average property sale price rose, and new contracts saw a healthy amount of activity pointing to a more vibrant pipeline ahead.

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.
