The math here is straightforward but easy to misread. A median of just over $2.1M and a per-square-foot figure above $560 describe a small set of closings — five in the current window — which means outliers matter. A renovated cottage with strong marsh frontage can pull the number up considerably; a property needing work can pull it down just as fast. Treat the median as a directional marker, not a ceiling or floor for any specific listing.

The 154-day median days-on-market is the more telling figure. It suggests this is not a market where list-and-sell-in-weeks is the norm; homes here find their buyer over a longer stretch, often because the buyer pool for this price point and this specific setting is naturally narrower. A slight year-over-year pullback of roughly 0.3% reads as flat rather than declining — more evidence of a market holding its value in a low-volume setting than one correcting. No community amenities are listed in current MLS data for this enclave, so buyers should treat the appeal here as the setting and the individual home, not a shared amenity package.

In a market this thin, five closings can tell two very different stories depending on what each home actually was. We pull the underlying sales, not just the median, so pricing conversations — on either side of the transaction — are grounded in the comparable that actually applies to your home, not a market-wide number diluted by outliers.
