Quincy’s Real Estate Market: A Five-Year Snapshot
Quincy’s real estate market has been a bit of a roller coaster over the last few years, especially when it comes to the 02169 single-family home market. I dove into this zip code specifically because North Quincy and Wollaston are very much their own specific market. If you're interested in Quincy Real Estate, I dove into the numbers for you...
Over the last five years, average sale prices have bumped up by roughly 28%. That’s a huge jump and a clear testament to how desirable Quincy has become. But, the challenge for my buyers and all buyers is that inventory has remained historically low. Fewer homes on the market combined with rising prices has created a super competitive, high demand environment, and that’s what are are continuing to see.
Days on Market. Here’s how it’s looked over the past few years:
- 2022: 40 days
- 2023: 30 days
- 2024: 30 days
- 2025: 43 days
- 2026 YTD: 57 days
Homes are taking longer to sell compared to the chaos of the 2023–2024 market, but this is still not a slow market by historical standards. Buyers are being more deliberate, but the demand is still there.
Sale Price as a Percentage of List Price:
- 2022: 101.27%
- 2023: 99.36%
- 2024: 99.32%
- 2025: 100.79%
- 2026 YTD: 96.82%
The 2022 and 2025 numbers show bidding wars returning in some areas, while the 2026 dip suggests buyers are becoming more price-sensitive. That said, well priced homes are still commanding serious money. I am still seeing bidding wars on properties that are priced right and marketed well, but there are less overall offers. We used to see 10 offers on homes, we are now seeing 2-3 more frequently.
Even with interest rate fluctuations, Quincy’s single family market has proven it still is pretty popular. It’s now in what we call a higher-price, lower-supply phase—a combination that’s been a win for homeowners. If you own property in Quincy, there’s a good chance you’ve seen some impressive equity growth. This means if you have been waiting to sell, now may be just the right time.
For buyers, the waiting game hasn’t exactly paid off. Quincy’s market remains hot and desirable, and the trends are obvious: it’s tighter, more expensive, and more competitive than it was just a few years ago. With that in mind, if you’re serious about planting roots in Quincy, the smartest move might be jumping in now, accepting the rates, and getting a gameplay together to buy.
The truth is...Quincy is as desirable as ever, and this market isn’t showing signs of slowing down. Whether you’re looking to sell, buy, or just want to know where things stand, I’m here to help. With deep expertise in Quincy’s neighborhoods and market trends, I’m ready to guide you through every step of the process.
