MAY MARKET REPORT
STATISTICS & ANALYSIS: YTD AS OF MAY 31, 2026
After a quieter-than-expected April, May was a bounce-back month for the Nantucket real estate market. This May, total dollar volume was $75.48 million - a 39% increase from May 2025. Transactions were exactly even, holding steady at 20 in both 2025 and 2026. While May was a good month, total year-to-date dollar volume remains lower, $366.46M compared to $404.74M prior, a 9% decrease. Transactions were lower as well; through this point of 2025, we saw 120 transactions; this year there have been 91, a 24% decrease. These numbers are to be expected after such a big 2025, which was one of our largest years on record. While sales have slowed down slightly, this seems to be caused by a lack of inventory rather than a lack of interest. At the time of writing this, there are 128 homes for sale on island, which is the lowest number we have seen at this point of the year since 2023.
