Nantucket County’s housing market has shifted compared with a year ago, with prices easing while supply has also thinned. The median list price in September 2026 was down about 12 percent year over year even as it reached roughly $3.9 million. Active listings fell nearly 20 percent over the same period, signaling fewer options than last year.
Looking at the most recent month, conditions still lean toward sellers, with the market gauge at 37 in seller’s market territory. Inventory in September sat at 11 active listings, up from 9 in August, and new listings rose month over month as well, from 2 to 3, while pending sales jumped from 1 to 3, indicating more deals are moving toward closing.
Recent history shows a small, variable market where individual sales can move the numbers significantly from month to month. Median list prices have swung from over $5 million in February 2026 to just above $3.9 million in September, while months of supply has ranged from about 3 to more than 8 over the past year. Compared with the broader Massachusetts market, which has more than 21,000 active listings and just 2.8 months of supply, Nantucket operates on a much tighter and more specialized scale.
