What Is the Current Median Home Price in Nantucket?

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 median 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.
Current Nantucket median price and days-on-market figures are published on the Nantucket market dashboard. Nantucket is currently a beta pilot market, so the live area breakdown appears here as soon as the latest snapshot lands.
What This Tells Buyers & Developers
A multi-million-dollar 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?
AddressIntel computes the current median home sale price on Nantucket, MA from recent island sales and publishes it on the Nantucket market dashboard, refreshed 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. AddressIntel reports the median by Nantucket area — Town, ‘Sconset (Siasconset), Surfside, Madaket and Mid Island — because oceanfront and harborside areas price very differently from the island interior.
How does AddressIntel measure the Nantucket median home price?
AddressIntel ingests recorded Nantucket sales and, per island area, computes the median sale price, median 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.
