Hingham is one of the most sought-after towns on the South Shore, and it’s priced that way. The median Hingham home sold for about $1.5 million in July 2026, at 102% of list price, in a median of 20 days. In a market this strong, the difference between a good sale and a great one comes down to pricing, presentation and who sees your home.
What sets our team apart in Hingham is that we already know your buyer. Many of the people buying in Hingham today are moving up from Quincy, Weymouth and Boston, and those are the markets where we work every day. Our team operates from the Compass office at 18 Shipyard Drive in Hingham and from our headquarters in Quincy Center, so when you list with us, your home goes straight to the buyers and agents most likely to be looking for it. Our Hingham sales include 3 Sentinel Road at $1,795,000 and 115 Prospect Street at $1,135,000.
Our strongest connection is to the second group. We are in daily contact with buyers and agents in Quincy, Weymouth, Braintree and Boston, and we know who is ready to make the move to Hingham and what they can spend. For higher-priced and waterfront homes, Compass’s nationwide network also puts your home in front of agents working with buyers in New York City, Connecticut and Florida.

Demand is strong, but buyers are choosier. Nearly half of Hingham homes still sell over asking, but fewer than a year ago. The ones that do are priced right and presented well from the first weekend.
Your neighborhood matters more than the town median. A Downtown antique, a Crow Point waterfront home and a South Hingham colonial each sell to a different buyer at a different price. We price from sales on your street and in your section of town.
Hingham is known for its luxury sales, but most of the town’s market is below that level. In the 12 months ending October 6, 2026, 113 of the 215 single-family homes sold in Hingham, more than half, sold between $900,000 and $1.8 million. Only 23 sold for less than $900,000.

What this means if your home is in this range:
If you are buying in Hingham and coming from Quincy, Weymouth or Boston, we can handle both sides of the move. We sell homes in those markets every day, so we can sell your current home and time it with your Hingham purchase, so you are not left carrying two homes or scrambling for somewhere to live in between.
We also know Hingham well. We will walk you through the different neighborhoods and areas, from Downtown and Hingham Centre to South Hingham, Crow Point and the Shipyard, and explain how each one differs in price, commute, lot size and day-to-day feel, so you can decide where you want to be before you start making offers.
The median Hingham sale was about $1.5 million in July 2026, but values vary widely by section of town, lot, and water access. We’ll prepare a private valuation from recent sales near you.
Because we already work with your most likely buyers. A large share of Hingham buyers are moving up from Quincy, Weymouth and Boston, and those are the markets our team works in every day, from our Quincy Center headquarters and our office at Hingham Shipyard. We know those buyers, the agents who represent them and what they are looking for in Hingham, and we market your home directly to them from the first day.
The median was 20 days on market in July 2026, and nearly half of homes sold above asking.
If your home has a septic system, Massachusetts Title 5 generally requires an inspection when you sell. Much of Hingham is on septic, so we plan for it early.
Hingham has local historic districts, and exterior changes there need approval from the town. If your home is in one, we’ll factor that into preparation and buyer conversations.
Yes. The commuter ferry runs from Hingham Shipyard to Rowes Wharf, and Route 3 connects to I-93.
