How We Measure It
AddressIntel ingests recorded sales across Nantucket and groups them by island area, Town, Siasconset (‘Sconset), Surfside, Madaket, and Mid Island. For each area we compute the median sale price (the middle of recent closed sales), the average days on market (how fast homes sell), and the sale-to-list ratio (sale price ÷ asking price). The islandwide median is a listing-weighted blend of those area medians, so a single number stays representative even though Nantucket’s areas price very differently. These reflect actual recorded transactions, not list prices or estimates.

What This Tells Buyers & Developers
A ~$2.9M islandwide median reflects Nantucket’s scarcity: a National Historic Landmark island with little buildable land and a buyer pool dominated by second-home and trophy purchases. For developers, the median is only the starting point, what matters is the spread between areas and the renovation math behind an HDC-compliant exterior.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the current median home price in Nantucket?
The current median home sale price on Nantucket, MA is about $2,944,146, an islandwide blend of the tracked areas' sale medians weighted by activity, (roughly $2.9M), as of AddressIntel's September 2026 read. AddressIntel computes this from recent Nantucket sales across the island's areas and refreshes it regularly.
Why is the Nantucket median so much higher than the national median?
Nantucket is a supply-constrained luxury island market: the entire island is a National Historic Landmark, buildable land is scarce, and a large share of sales are second homes and waterfront trophy properties. That pushes the median into the multi-million-dollar range and well above mainland Massachusetts or U.S. medians. AddressIntel reports the actual recorded-sale median rather than a national benchmark.
Does the median home price vary by area on Nantucket?
Yes, significantly. AddressIntel breaks the island into areas, Town, ‘Sconset (Siasconset), Surfside, Madaket and Mid Island, each with its own median. The islandwide figure of about $2.9M is a listing-weighted blend of those areas; oceanfront and harborside areas typically sit well above the islandwide median.
How does AddressIntel measure the Nantucket median home price?
AddressIntel ingests recorded Nantucket sales and, per island area, computes the median sale price, average days on market, and sale-to-list ratio. The islandwide median is a listing-weighted blend of the area medians, recalculated as new sales land, so this page always reflects the most recent published snapshot rather than a static estimate.
