Welcome back to Pink Door Properties' South Shore Real Estate Pulse! I'm Jim Aldred, and today we're diving deep into Plymouth's January 2026 market—a month that brought some fascinating shifts and surprising dynamics.
January delivered 35 single-family home sales in Plymouth with a median sale price of $640,000, but here's where it gets interesting: the median sold price across all property types jumped to $585,000, representing a dramatic 16.25% month-over-month increase from December's $503,500. This spike signals strong buyer demand despite winter's typical slowdown.
The inventory picture tells an equally compelling story. We're sitting at just 1.58 months of inventory—firmly in seller's market territory—with 30 active single-family listings carrying a median list price of $799,900, up 3% from the previous month. The average list price reached $912,073, with properties ranging from $399,000 to a stunning $2.55 million. Sellers are testing the upper limits, and interestingly, 22 properties adjusted their prices during the month, averaging a 3.78% reduction.
Days on market metrics reveal buyer urgency: the median was just 32 days overall, with a 15.79% month-over-month increase suggesting slightly more deliberation than December's frenzy. The sold-to-list price ratio held steady at 98.8%, up slightly by 0.54%, meaning buyers are negotiating but not dramatically.
The pending pipeline looks robust with 35 properties under agreement at a median price of $749,999. Average days to offer? Just 44 days. Properties in the $500K-$600K range dominated with 8 pendings, while luxury buyers remained active with several properties over $1 million going under contract.
Price stratification is evident: 10 sales occurred in the $700K-$799K range, 9 in the $600K-$699K bracket, and 8 in the $500K-$599K sweet spot. The highest sale reached $1.09 million on Scarlet Drive after 181 days, while quick movers like 18 Cedar Oaks Drive sold in just 24 days at $740,000.
A concerning note: 8 distressed properties appeared in the data, including foreclosure notices and newly filed complaints, signaling some homeowners are facing financial pressure despite the strong market.
Only 4 listings expired during January after averaging 90 days on market, suggesting that properly priced homes are finding buyers. The median estimated property value for Plymouth now stands at $668,690, up 3.2% year-over-year.
For sellers, this market offers opportunity but demands strategic pricing. For buyers, competition remains fierce in the sub-$700K range, but inventory above $1 million provides more negotiating room.
