There’s no way to take the chill off this: Last month’s local real estate market was in a deep freeze.
No, it wasn’t because of the February blizzard – the effects of that storm on home sale closings won’t show until April or May – but the snow and cold certainly didn’t help motivate people to tour open houses. (Remember the 20 inches that fell Jan. 25?)
Across town, only 42 homes exchanged hands in February, compared with 54 in January, according to figures from the real estate tracking firm the Warren Group.
Seven Plymouth properties sold for more than $1 million. The median price was $712,500, up significantly from January’s $620,000. The average sale price – which can be skewed by a few lofty transactions – was $804,512, compared with $616,960 in January.
The sluggish scene is not a Plymouth phenomenon. Statewide, 4,274 homes were sold during January and February, down from 4,779 during the same period in 2025, the Warren Group reported. That’s a decline of more than 10 percent year over year.
So what’s going on, besides the nasty weather and the normal winter blues? Mostly, the usual suspects are to blame. A lack of inventory – homeowners still clinging to historically low interest rates aren’t inclined to sell. From the buyer’s perspective, ongoing economic concerns, pre-Iran, persisted.
Compounding matters going forward, interest rates – which had briefly dropped below 6 percent on a 30-year loan – were at about 6.4% as of Tuesday. A 15-year mortgage averaged 5.82%.
Also, rising gas prices caused by the Iran war’s impact on oil supplies, coupled with financial markets roiled by President Trump’s daily see-saw of pronouncements on Iran aren’t helping to instill confidence in prospective buyers.
But as mentioned up top, the weather has turned. Beige landscapes are showing hints of green, and prospective buyers are no longer hibernating.
In fact, they “have started coming out in noticeable fashion with busy open houses and some homes seeing multiple offers,” says Leon Lopes, a veteran broker with Compass Real Estate in Plymouth.
The question is: What is there for them to see? With the number of homes on the market slightly below last March’s anemic level, expect competition for attractive houses and condos in the most desirable sections of town to be hot. And that means prices are not likely to cool down.
