Plymouth

Known as “America’s Hometown”, Plymouth, Massachusetts is literally the epicenter of New England –  during his 1614 voyage, John Smith, the English explorer, named the area Plymouth after the city in South West England along with coining the phrase “New England” for the region.

As the oldest municipality in New England, Plymouth can legitimately claim the “American Dream” has homeownership in Plymouth at its core.

Plymouth Massachusetts Real Estate Market is Booming in 2021

The Plymouth MA housing market, much like the rest of Massachusetts and the entire country at large, is extremely “hot” with double-digit price increases given the historically low supply of homes being listed for sale in New England. Plymouth is in a “seller’s market”, as buyers compete in multiple-offer situations on the Plymouth homes that are for sale. Large homes in the Greater Boston area, yet outside Boston given work from home (WFH) flexibility, remain in high demand, and while many buyers have the buying power to bid up Plymouth property values given low-interest rates, many current Plymouth homeowners have the luxury of remaining on the sidelines which prevents the easing of the Plymouth housing supply.
