Cape Cod Real Estate Market: November 2025 Snapshot
November 2025 data for Barnstable County shows a market that’s still fundamentally healthy, but moving differently for single-family homes and condominiums. Single-family prices remain strong even as the number of sales softens, while the condo market is seeing lower prices alongside higher inventory and longer days on market. All of the trends below come directly from the November 2025 Local Market Update for Barnstable County.
Single-Family Prices Are Rising While Sales Decline
For single-family homes in November, the median sales price increased from $739,000 in 2024 to $785,000 in 2025, a 6.2% year-over-year gain. Year-to-date, the median price also rose from $765,000 to $789,000 (up 3.1%).
At the same time, closed sales fell from 263 to 199 for the month (down 24.3%), and year-to-date closed sales dropped from 2,593 to 2,484 (down 4.2%). Pending sales dipped slightly year-to-date, from 2,699 to 2,637 (down 2.3%), even though November’s pendings actually increased from 194 to 220 (up 13.4%).
This trend is happening as shown in the data because prices are moving up while the number of completed sales is moving down. The numbers clearly show fewer single-family transactions closing compared to last year, even as the typical sale price has climbed both for November and year-to-date.
Tight Single-Family Inventory Is Keeping the Market Lean
Single-family inventory of homes for sale in November declined from 653 to 615 (down 5.8%), and months supply of inventory edged down from 2.8 to 2.7 months (down 3.6%). New single-family listings for the month dropped from 178 to 161 (down 9.6%), and year-to-date new listings moved from 3,511 to 3,399 (down 3.2%).
This trend is happening because the report shows fewer new single-family listings coming to market and slightly lower overall inventory than last year. With fewer new homes being added and months of supply still under three months, the market remains tight on the single-family side.
Single-Family Homes Are Taking Longer to Sell and Seeing Slightly More Negotiation
For single-family homes, cumulative days on market until sale increased from 40 to 43 days in November (up 7.5%) and from 44 to 56 days year-to-date (up 27.3%). The percent of original list price received slipped from 95.7% to 95.5% for November and from 96.9% to 95.5% year-to-date.
This trend is happening because the data shows two clear changes compared to last year: more days on market and a lower percentage of original list price received. Together, those numbers indicate that single-family homes are not selling quite as quickly and are closing a bit farther from their original list price than they did in the prior year.
Condo Prices Are Declining as Inventory and Days on Market Increase
In the condominium segment, the median sales price for November fell from $540,000 in 2024 to $439,500 in 2025, a drop of 18.6%. Year-to-date, the condo median price decreased from $514,500 to $489,500 (down 4.9%).
At the same time, inventory of condos for sale rose from 195 to 227 units (up 16.4%), and months supply of inventory increased from 3.1 to 3.5 months (up 12.9%). Cumulative days on market until sale for condos climbed from 62 to 69 days in November (up 11.3%) and from 48 to 64 days year-to-date (up 33.3%).
This trend is happening because the report shows falling median condo prices alongside higher inventory, higher months of supply, and longer days on market. Those figures together clearly describe a condo segment where there are more properties available, they’re taking longer to sell, and they’re doing so at lower median prices than last year.
Condo Sales Volume Is Up Over the Year, Even Though November Was Softer
Looking at demand, condo pending sales rose year-to-date from 698 to 758 (up 8.6%), and closed sales increased from 668 to 700 (up 4.8%).
For November alone, closed sales decreased from 68 to 60 (down 11.8%), while pending sales nudged up from 56 to 58 (up 3.6%).
This trend is happening because the full-year numbers for 2025 show more accepted offers and more closings than 2024, even though the single month of November shows fewer completed closings than last November. The contrast between higher year-to-date counts and a softer November is visible directly in the pending and closed sales lines.
Condo Listing Activity Is Higher for the Year but Lower for November
Condo new listings for November fell from 67 to 52 (down 22.4%), while year-to-date new listings rose from 934 to 1,023 (up 9.5%).
This trend is happening because the data shows a strong increase in the total number of condo listings added during 2025 compared to 2024, but a notably quieter November. The higher year-to-date total helps explain why condo inventory and months of supply are above last year’s levels, even with fewer new listings in the most recent month.
Overall Health of the Barnstable County Market
Looking across all of the numbers:
- Single-family homes: Prices are higher, inventory and months of supply remain low, and November pendings are up, which together describe a market that still leans toward sellers, even as sales counts decline and homes take longer to sell.
- Condos: Prices are lower, inventory and days on market are higher, and months of supply have grown, while year-to-date sales activity is ahead of last year. This shows a condo market that is clearly softer on pricing but still seeing steady demand over the full year.
Overall, Barnstable County’s November 2025 data shows a resilient single-family market with cooling momentum and a condo market that is adjusting to more inventory, longer market times, and lower median prices.
