April is the month when the weather’s supposed turn milder and the real estate market heats up.
Both things happened – to a degree – but buying and selling homes in Plymouth, as in most communities around the state, continues to be challenging.
With inventory ever-tight, year-over-year sales remained essentially stagnant – 67 homes were sold in April, compared with 73 in the same month last year. Because of the relative lack of homes on the market, prices continue to tick up, especially in the most desirable parts of Plymouth, including the downtown area, Chiltonville, the Pinehills, and anything close to the ocean.
“A number of [homes] sold for above their list price, including one that I believe to be the first sale in the Ponds of Plymouth neighborhood for over $1 million,” said broker Leon Lopes of Compass Real Estate.
The average sale price in April was $659,083, a number slightly skewed by expensive Pinehills transactions. Seven homes, or just over 10 percent – sold for $1 million or more.
Sales transactions are a lagging indicator of the real estate market’s current health, but Lopes said activity was “robust through the month of May as the number of homes for sale continues to rise.”
If that trend continues, buyers might gain a bit more leverage in negotiating prices.
Still, concerns over on-and-off tariffs and their effect on the economy may keep some potential buyers on the sideline. J.P. Morgan Research pegs the likelihood of a recession in 2025 at 40 percent. That’s down from 60 percent earlier in the year, but a single social media post from President Trump could change the forecast. When potential buyers start to worry about job security, they typically put the brakes on any major financial decisions, especially buying a home.
Mortgage rates remain a concern, too. A 30-year fixed rate loan is hovering at about 7 percent. As a result, buyers face steep monthly payments, and owners with existing mortgages are hesitant to sell because they don’t want to part with their historically low interest rates.
Here are April’s home sales in Plymouth, listed from high to low.
