This week’s cool temperatures are a reminder of spring’s fickle nature in New England. But to the relief of real estate brokers, weather doesn’t necessarily correlate with activity in the local housing market this time of year.
It comes as no surprise that home sales in Plymouth rose last month following a frigid February. Sixty-two properties exchanged hands in March compared with 42 in the previous month, and 53 in March 2025. An improvement, but still a modest number.
The median sale price was $657,000, down from $712,500 in February. Eleven properties sold for more than $1 million – and not all of them in the Pinehills – according to data from the Warren Group, a Boston real estate tracking firm.
But the most interesting figures involve inventory. As of April 19, 37 of the 84 single-family homes for sale across town were priced at $1 million or higher. It wasn’t that long ago that a million-dollar house in Plymouth was something of an anomaly. Not anymore. While that’s good news for sellers, it’s disheartening for people trying to become first-time buyers, and it makes downsizing less attractive for longtime owners looking to make a change.
With fewer than 100 homes listed across a town the size of Plymouth, demand remains high.
“While new listings are hitting the market almost daily, many are achieving an accepted offer within a couple of weeks or less, causing in the overall inventory numbers to remain low,” said Leon Lopes, a broker with Compass Real Estate in Plymouth.
For comparison, during the same week in April 2019 there were 213 single-family homes for sale.
“The Plymouth real estate market continues to favor sellers, while many buyers continue to struggle with not having enough homes in their price range to pick from,” Lopes said in an email. “Additionally, modestly priced homes are still seeing multiple offers with some selling for over list price.”
Mortgage rates have been dipping slightly in recent weeks, but remain a major factor for many potential buyers as well as for existing homeowners who may feel chained to a bargain rate from the days when the economy was tanking and regulators dropped them to historic lows. Last week, the average 30-year loan was pegged at 6.34%, down from 6.40% the previous week. That’s better than the 7% figure of early 2025, but higher than the 6.09% level of earlier this year.
The on-again, off-again war in Iran “boosted oil prices, which caused a fresh round of inflation and complicated hopes that the Federal Reserve will cut rates,” Bankrate.com said in a release.
Inflation is also back in a significant way. President Trump has called rising prices at gas pumps – as result of his actions in Iran – “fake inflation.” Consumers spending more to fuel their vehicles may beg to differ. Food prices, too, continue to create sticker shock for many families.
Overall, inflation hit an annual rate of 3.3% in March, the highest it’s been in over two years, and way above the Feds’ target of 2%.
Here’s a list of Plymouth home sales that closed in March, from highest to lowest price.
