The Plymouth County town of Duxbury is situated roughly 35 miles southeast of the city of Boston. This affluent South Shore community had a population of around 15,000 at the time of the 2010 U.S. Census. While it’s not a large town, it’s big enough to support a fairly robust real estate market. Covered by the 02332 zip code, this town is bordered by many others, including Pembroke, Plymouth and Kingston. One of its borders is also formed by Cape Cod Bay. We have agents who know this market well, and their insider knowledge will come very much in handy.

Home buyers don’t often realize it, but real estate prices are just one factor to consider when it comes to affordability. If you are thinking about buying a home in Duxbury, familiarize yourself with the overall cost of living to ensure that it truly suits your budget. A score of 100 on the cost of living index represents the average cost of living in the U.S. The average cost of living in MA, meanwhile, is 137.7. In Dracut, it is even higher at 143.0. This suggests that goods and services here may cost a bit more than is average across the state.

Speaking of prices, what can you expect when buying a home in this town? An upscale, high-income area, Duxbury boasts a market that consistently has very high property values. Lately, the median list and sale price for homes here has been $709,000 and $653,000 respectively, and the median price per square foot has been around $248. To put this in perspective, the median list and sale price for homes in MA has been $419,000 and $356,000, and the median price per square foot has been around $248.

Unlike many communities around the state, Duxbury has been experiencing a buyer’s market for some time. This, of course, is good news for you if you want to buy a place here soon. However, it might also mean that it could be risky to buy if you aren’t going to stay very long. In this town, around 4 percent of residential properties have negative equity. That’s much lower than the U.S. average, which is 10.7 percent, but it still means that the market has not yet completely recovered. The agent that we refer you to can help you understand these factors better.

The longer that homes sit on the market before selling, the better it tends to be for buyers. Homes in this town have been on the market for an average of 107 days, which is pretty excessive. This is another example of why this town is currently experiencing a buyer’s market. At any given time, there are usually roughly 60 properties for sale. If you want a single-family home, then, you should have plenty of options to consider. Things change rapidly, though, so sign up and search our listings right away for current availability.

Since it’s more of a buyer’s market in Duxbury these days, could it be risky to buy a home here if you will be selling again before too long? That depends on how well property values are doing. Things look pretty bright in that department, as the year-over-year appreciation rate here is around 3.3 percent. Whether you are going to stay put for the long haul or plan to move on within a few years, you shouldn’t have too much to worry about in this town. Boston City Properties can arm you with resources that allow you to make the most informed decision possible.

Since property values are quite high in this town, it makes sense if you discover that the type of home that you want isn’t within your budget here. Don’t get discouraged, though, as there are plenty of options in neighboring areas. If you’re not familiar with these other communities, Boston City Properties and the agent that we refer you to can help. For example, the median sale price in nearby Halifax is only $303,000, and the median sale price in neighboring Norwell is $566,000. When using our search tool, you can adjust filters to get results for properties that fall within your desired price range.

Within the boundaries of this small town, there are only around 5,400 residential properties. A whopping 84 percent of these are single-family homes, so that will be the easiest type of property to find. Around 11 percent of properties here are classified as apartments, and around 5 percent are townhouses. When you search our database, you will get results not only for single-family homes but for apartments, condos and townhouses too. Note that around 11 percent of residential properties in Duxbury are vacant, which could be a sign that property values aren’t as good as they seem.

If you are flexible about the type of home that you want, you may be able to save by considering something other than a single-family home. Typically, it is more affordable to buy a townhouse than it is to buy a detached home. However, the market in Duxbury is weird; in 2015, the median sale price for a detached home was $426,000 while the median sale price for a townhome was $439,000. Obviously, prices have changed a lot since then, and they will continue to fluctuate. Therefore, always check our listings to see how the market is currently faring.

Very few people rent homes in this town. In fact, of all occupied residential properties within its borders, 88 percent are owned and only 12 percent are rented. With that being said, you are not out of luck if you need to rent instead. For one thing, our database includes listings for apartments and other properties for rent in this town and in cities and towns around the state. For another, while property values here are high, rent prices are more average. The average monthly rent here is around $2,450 while the average for the state is $2,500.

The ease with which you find what you need in Duxbury will largely depend on the type of property that you are looking for. As you have probably already surmised, you will have the easiest time finding detached single-family homes, as they tend to be the most abundant. However, they also tend to be very expensive and quite large. It may be that a condo, townhome or apartment would suit you better, and Boston City Properties can help in those instances as well—and we can refer you to an agent who can help regardless of what you need too.
