2025 Nantucket Real Estate Market Overview
Nantucket’s 2025 market began at a measured pace and strengthened steadily as the year progressed, finishing with meaningful gains in both activity and total dollar volume. By year’s end, total dollar volume ranked as the third best on record, underscoring the depth of demand and the market’s ability to reward exceptional properties. Seasonality played its usual role, with momentum building into late summer and fall as buyers responded quickly to homes that were well prepared, well positioned, and priced with intention.
Inventory remained the defining variable. As supply fluctuated, periods of tighter availability reinforced value, particularly for turnkey residences and properties in premier locations. In this environment, execution mattered: thoughtful staging and improvements, elevated presentation, and a disciplined go-to-market strategy consistently separated listings that moved decisively from those that waited.
Maury People Sotheby’s International Realty: #1 on Nantucket in 2025
In 2025, Maury People Sotheby’s International Realty again led the market, ranking #1 in both transaction-side dollar volume and closed sides. We participated in $712,000,000 in closed sales, representing 44% of all brokered market activity, and closed $438,142,613 in transaction-side volume across 182 closed transaction sides, more than doubling our closest competitor in transaction-side volume.
Our leadership is driven by execution at every level: global reach through the Sotheby’s International Realty network, concierge-level preparation that positions each home at its highest potential, and the discretion clients expect in Nantucket’s most sought-after segments. Combined with data-backed market leadership, this approach continues to deliver exceptional outcomes across the island’s most competitive price points.
Looking Ahead
Nantucket’s fundamentals remain compelling. Demand continues to be anchored by highly qualified buyers and enduring scarcity, and properties that are properly positioned are still commanding immediate attention. For sellers considering timing, launching earlier can create a clear advantage by reducing competition, improving access for showings, and engaging motivated buyers before peak-season intensity returns.
