Cotuit Real Estate Market Report

Cotuit's September 2026 data shows a market delivering strong, broad-based price gains. The median sale price rose 25.97% year-over-year to $1,140,000 — up from $905,000 in September 2025 — while the average sale price surged 19.62% to $1,986,667, driven by a mix of bay-front and village closings. The YTD median of $1,082,500 is up 25.87% from 2025, confirming sustained momentum through the year.

Days on market have extended from last year's pace. Average CDOM rose to 52 days (+8.33% YoY) and median CDOM increased to 40 days (+81.82% YoY) — a meaningful jump at the median that reflects buyers taking more time in the luxury segment. The absorption rate improved to 4.71 (+5.84% YoY), the strongest reading in over a year, signaling that demand is absorbing the available supply at a healthy clip.

Active inventory is priced ambitiously: the median list price rose 14.85% to $1,372,500 and the average list price climbed 10.62% to $2,075,390. The YTD absorption rate of 3.39 — down 30.25% from 2025's 4.86 — suggests the full-year pace has moderated even as the monthly rate strengthened. Data updated October 1, 2026.

Cotuit's authentic village character, bay access, and limited developable land continue to underpin long-term value. Buyers drawn to the Cotuit Oyster Company, the village green, and the quiet harbor lifestyle are competing for a very limited pool of properties.
