Welcome to this in-depth analysis of the Duxbury, Massachusetts single-family housing market for October 2025. The data paints a clear picture: Duxbury remains an exclusive, high-value market where luxury and location command a premium, but careful pricing is paramount for sellers.

The Inventory Squeeze: Scarcity at the Entry Level

The market survey reveals an extreme scarcity of available homes, especially for buyers targeting the entry and mid-levels. There are zero active single-family listings priced below $600,000. The lowest-priced home available is a $699,000 Multi-Level, creating a significant barrier to entry. The remaining 12 active properties are firmly in the luxury tier, with a Median List Price of $1,249,000. Inventory is moving slowly, with active listings averaging 89 days on market.

Sold Market: Record Median Prices and Buyer Resistance

October saw 15 single-family homes close, with an impressive Median Sale Price of $1,717,600 and an Average Sale Price also at $1,717,600. The total market volume for the month was a substantial $25.76 million. However, despite the high prices, the market is showing signs of buyer resistance to ambitious initial pricing. Sold homes took an average of 70 days to close and 55 days to receive an offer. The average sale price was 5% below the original asking price (SP:OP Ratio of 95%), signaling that sellers who over-list are paying the price with lengthy market times and significant price reductions.

Featured Transactions: The Pinnacle of Coastal Living

Specific sales highlights showcase the town's focus on high-end, waterfront living:

• The Ultra-Luxury Waterfront Sale: The top sale was a sprawling $7,250,000 waterfront estate. This property, featuring a main house, guest house, pool house, pool, and a 70-foot dock on 1.67 acres with over 300 feet of direct water frontage, exemplifies the demand for unparalleled coastal amenities and luxury.
• Overbidding on Multi-Level: A Multi-Level home sold for $810,000, which was $11,000 over its initial list price after only 4 days to offer, demonstrating that well-maintained, correctly priced homes in the sub-$1 million range (a rare commodity in Duxbury) still ignite bidding wars.
• The Luxury Colonial: A 4-bedroom Colonial with a desirable cul-de-sac location and a large finished basement sold for $1,270,000, reflecting the strong demand for classic Duxbury family homes.

With the average price per square foot for sold homes at $575, Duxbury continues to be one of the most exclusive housing markets on the South Shore. If you’re buying, prepare for high prices and be ready to move quickly on the few available properties. If you’re selling, understand that buyers are informed and will only pay top dollar for strategically priced, high-quality offerings. #sellingsouthietosagamore #jimaldred #kwmass #southshoremarealestate #sellingsouthietothecape
