YEAR-END 2025 SNAPSHOT
YTD December 2025: Outer Cape Real Estate Overview
As we close out 2025, the Outer Cape delivered another year of meaningful strength across Provincetown, Truro, and Wellfleet. As a luxury, second-home market, pricing here continues to be well supported by limited inventory, long-term ownership, and a buyer base driven by lifestyle rather than urgency.
Single-family homes stood out as the clear backbone of the market. Median sale prices remained strong across all three towns, reinforcing a multi-year trend of value stability. Even as buyers took more time and inventory gradually expanded, sellers continued to achieve pricing that held close to list—a powerful indicator of confidence and demand in a market of this scale.
