“The Nantucket residential real estate market gained momentum in May, with stronger sales activity and a notable shift toward higher-priced properties driving transaction and dollar volume above last year’s levels. While overall year-to-date sales remain below the pace of 2025, average and median sale prices have climbed significantly as a greater share of transactions occurred between $3 million and $5 million, accompanied by an increase in sales above $9 million.
