67. Plymouth Real Estate: Year-End Reality Check

December in Plymouth 02360 delivered a classic year-end pattern: inventory stayed tight, pricing held up, but the market took longer to make decisions.

Let’s start with the big picture for 02360 (single family + condo/townhouse).  Months of inventory came in at 1.59, keeping the market seller-leaning despite the seasonal slowdown.  But the pace clearly cooled: median days in RPR jumped to 38 (a sharp month-over-month increase), and the sold-to-list ratio eased to 98.5%.  That’s not a crash—that’s buyers pushing back where the pricing is stretched and sellers accepting normal December friction.  The median sold price was $712,500, up +2.52% from last month, while the median list price rose to $782,500 (up +11.8% MoM).  That widening gap is your warning light: some sellers reached higher, and the market didn’t automatically reward it. 

On the single-family side across Plymouth for the month, closings were still substantial: 60 single-family sales with a median sale price of $722,500 and an overall SP:LP around 98%.  Average days on market ran 62, with 44 days to offer—again, very consistent with a December “slower decision cycle”, not a demand collapse. 

Where the story gets interesting is inside the price bands.  The data shows stronger “near-ask” behavior in the middle tiers, but more negotiation as you climb:

• $800K–$899K averaged ~100% SP:LP, essentially full price behavior.
• $1.0M–$1.5M averaged ~95% SP:LP, where concessions and price discovery are more common.
• The top tier that sold in $1.5M–$2.0M averaged ~90% SP:LP, a reminder that the luxury buyer is selective and expects value. 

You also see this in the actual December closings: Plymouth posted multiple high-end sales in the $1.3M–$1.55M range, alongside plenty of activity in the $600Ks–$900Ks where the market is deepest. 

Now, look at seller behavior: price reductions weren’t massive, but they were present and meaningful.  December logged 8 listings with price changes, averaging -2.83% (about -$21,800).  The biggest average “course corrections” showed up between $1.0M and $1.5M (about -4.40% / -$50,000), which fits perfectly with what buyers are doing: they’ll pay up for a standout home, but they won’t overpay just because it’s December. 

If you want a clean pricing plan for your specific neighborhood in Plymouth—Manomet, Chiltonville, West Plymouth, The Pinehills, or downtown—reach out and I’ll break it down with comps and a strategy that fits today’s buyer behavior. #SouthShoreMAHomes #BostonSouthShoreRealEstate #SouthShoreRealtor #jimaldred #kwsignaturepropertiesma #sellingsouthietosagamore #southshorerealestate #pinkdoorproperties #pinkdoorpodcast #plymouth #02360 #plymouthRealEstate #02360 #decembermarketupdate
