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

Amid a series of headline-making luxury sales, Nantucket saw its highest-grossing month of real estate activity ever recorded. Monthly sales included 65 transactions totaling $372 million, the island’s all-time record for monthly dollar volume thanks to nine residential transactions exceeding $10 million, including the highest year-to-date sale at $37.7 million. On a cumulative basis for the 10 months ending October 31, 2025, there were 342 property transfers totaling $1.49 billion, an increase of 37 percent and 36 percent from 2024, and bested only to the same period in 2021. Beyond these standout figures, overall contract activity declined—consistent with typical seasonal patterns—and inventory levels continued to fall below those of a year ago.

Annual Report

After two years of transaction and dollar volume declines following the market’s peak in 2021, Nantucket real estate saw a modest bump in 2024. Transactions increased by a nominal amount, edging just past 300 property sales, while dollar volume held a firm grip, surging well beyond the $1 billion mark once again.

On a quarterly basis, market activity followed a seasonal crescendo from one quarter to the next, with the fourth quarter posting more than double the activity of the first and second quarters. By year’s end, there were 311 transactions totaling $1.35 billion on the books, a respective increase of six percent and 17 percent from 2023 but less than half the overall sales and transaction volume we saw in 2021.
