109. Coastal Colonials & Cul-de-Sacs: Duxbury's Priciest June Closings

109. Coastal Colonials & Cul-de-Sacs: Duxbury's Priciest June Closings

Welcome back to The Pink Door Podcast, I'm Jim Aldred. This episode breaks down everything that happened in the Duxbury, MA 02332 housing market in June 2026, straight from MLS PIN and RPR data, so buyers, sellers, and fellow agents from Southie to Sagamore know exactly what's happening on the ground.  June 2026 was a firmly seller's market in Duxbury. Months of supply sat at just 2.06, down 7.2% from May and a stunning 39.4% lower than a year ago — meaning inventory is drying up fast. Only 11 single-family homes were active at month's end, with a median list price of $1,750,000, up 25.3% month over month. If you're wondering how competitive the Duxbury real estate market is right now, this is your answer.  Twenty-five single-family homes sold in Duxbury in June, totaling more than $35.7 million in closed volume. The median sold price hit $1,216,500 — up nearly 11% from May — and homes that sold went for an average of 102% of list price, with a median of just 5 days on market according to RPR. Average days on market across MLS PIN's June sold data came in at 38, with an average of only 21 days to offer, proof that well-priced Duxbury homes are moving quickly in this market.  Maybe the most telling stat of the month: zero expired listings in Duxbury in June. Not one home failed to sell or find a buyer. That's an extraordinary signal for anyone asking, "is now a good time to sell my house in Duxbury MA?"  Pending sales tell the same story — 18 homes under agreement with a median list price of $1,272,500, representing over $33 million in pipeline volume heading into July.  I'll walk through standout closings, from a three-year-old 15 Cushing Drive colonial with a heated saltwater pool that closed at $2.75 million, to 17 Winsor Street's coastal Duxbury Village estate at $2.8 million, and 65 Myles View Drive — a reminder that overpricing still costs you time, with that Standish Shore colonial taking 296 days to sell after a price correction.  I'll also cover the caution flag: 14 Duxbury listings still needed price cuts in June, averaging 5.55%, proof that accurate pricing still matters even when inventory is this tight.  Whether you're a Duxbury homeowner wondering what your house is worth today, a buyer trying to compete in a low-inventory Massachusetts coastal market, or you're relocating to the South Shore and researching Duxbury MA home prices, schools, and neighborhoods, this episode gives you the real numbers behind the headlines.  I'm James Aldred, Realtor, with Pink Door Properties powered by Keller Williams Signature Properties in Norwell. I cover the entire South Shore corridor — Duxbury, Marshfield, Norwell, Kingston, Pembroke, Scituate, Hingham, Cohasset, and Plymouth — helping buyers and sellers from Southie to Sagamore.

107. THE MYLES STANDISH LEGS-WHERE HAVE THEY BEEN?

A dedication and cornerstone-laying ceremony attended by 10,000 people took place on October 7, 1872. The monument was not completed until 1898. The monument was built on Captain's Hill, the highest point, 200 feet above sea level, on what was once Standish's farm. The monument rises 116 feet from its foundation to a small viewing parapet that offers panoramic views over the original Plymouth Colony. The 14-foot statue that surmounts the tower has Standish gazing eastward across Massachusetts Bay and holding the colony's charter.  #mylesstandish #duxburyma #mayflowerdecendants #pinkdoorpodcast #jimaldred #pinkdoorproperties #kwsignaturepropertiesma #sellingsouthietosagamore #mylestandishmonument #plymouthcounty Jim Aldred is a Realtor “Helping buyers and Sellers from Southie To Sagamore”; serving Boston's South Shore and can be contacted via his Links below. https://linktr.ee/SellingSouthieToSagamore www.KWMASS.com  Email me at JimAldredRealtor@yahoo.com cell: 339-987-0382 PODCAST INTRO  "Werq" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)  Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License  http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/  PODCAST OUTRO LURKING SLOTH By: Alexander Nakarada

106. Silver Lake to School Street: Inside Pembroke MA's Explosive May 2026 Real Estate Market

If you've been watching the South Shore real estate market and wondering where the action is this spring, let me tell you — Pembroke just had one of its strongest months in recent memory. On this episode of the CityPointJim podcast, I'm breaking down the May 2026 real estate market for Pembroke, Massachusetts, and the numbers are telling a very clear story. Let's start with the headline stat: the sold-to-list price ratio in Pembroke for May 2026 hit 103.1%. That means buyers in Pembroke aren't just meeting sellers at asking price — they're going over it. Consistently. The median sold price came in at $775,000, up 9.15% from April, and the RPR median estimated property value for the 02359 zip code now stands at $703,000 — up 8.6% year over year. If you own a home in Pembroke, your equity position right now is strong and trending in the right direction. Eight single-family homes closed in May, with a median sale price of $892,500 and an average of $865,000. Three of those transactions crossed the million-dollar mark. 627 School Street listed at $800,000 and sold for $865,000 — 108% of asking in just 6 days. 50 Christina Marie Drive listed at $950,000 and sold for $1,050,000 — that's 110% of list, under agreement in 5 days. 64 Copperwood Road listed at $949,000 and closed at $1,041,000. These aren't outliers; this is what a deep seller's market looks like when inventory is this constrained. Months of supply in Pembroke came in at just 1.14 — the lowest threshold of seller's market territory. Yes, that number doubled year over year, but context matters: a year ago it was below 0.6. At 1.14, there is still nowhere near enough supply to meet buyer demand. With only 4 active listings at month's end and 11 homes under agreement heading into June, the pipeline heading into summer is healthy. The median days to offer was just 6.5 across the 8 sales, and the median days on market was 20 — pulled up by one notable outlier: 290 School Street sat on the market for 223 days before finally closing at $920,000, down from an original list price of $1.1 million. That one property is a textbook example of what happens when pricing misses the market from the start. Every other sale in May? Under agreement within weeks. Zero expired listings in May. None. In a market where sellers price correctly and present their homes well, buyers are showing up and paying premium prices. If you're a Pembroke homeowner who has been thinking about selling, this is the environment you've been waiting for. Pembroke continues to offer incredible value on the South Shore — great schools, Silver Lake, the commuter rail, easy Route 3 access, and a real community feel that buyers are willing to compete for. I'm Jim Aldred with Pink Door Properties, helping buyers and sellers from Southie to Sagamore.

105. Is Kingston MA Still a Good Place to Buy a Home in 2026? The Numbers Decide

Spring is in full swing on the South Shore, and Kingston, MA just delivered another month of real data worth talking about. On this episode of the Pink Door Podcast,  we're breaking down the May 2026 real estate market for Kingston — what sold, what didn't, what buyers are paying, and what sellers need to know heading into summer. Let's get right to the numbers. The median sold price in Kingston for May 2026 came in at $725,000, up another 3.35% from April, and the RPR median estimated property value for the zip code now sits at $737,550 — up 7.2% over the past twelve months. For homeowners watching their equity grow, that's a meaningful number, and it's been a consistent upward trend across the 02364 zip code throughout 2026. Nine single-family homes closed in May, but the story behind those sales is what makes this month interesting. Strip out the investor rehab flip at 105R Main Street — which sold for $210,000 as a vacant fixer-upper — and the remaining eight homes closed with a median right around $736,000. Several transactions punched above list price: 23 Bog View Road listed at $995,000 and sold at $1,050,000, coming in at 106% of asking. 35 Grove Street listed at $530,000 and closed at $550,000 — 104%. 5 Starling Ave asked $695,000 and sold for $730,000, landing at 105%. In Kingston's core price range, motivated buyers are still competing. Median days on market came in at 17 per the MLS, with the median days to offer at just 6. That's the metric that tells the real story — well-presented, correctly priced homes in Kingston are going under agreement in less than a week. The pipeline confirms demand: 13 properties were under agreement at month's end, with a median pending list price of $710,000 and a wide range from $299,900 all the way up to $1,950,000. Inventory remains the defining constraint on this market. Only 4 active listings remained at month's end — that's not a typo. Months of supply dropped to 1.36, down 25% from April and a staggering 40% below where it stood a year ago. That year-over-year compression is significant and suggests structural inventory tightness, not just seasonal fluctuation. On the seller caution side: six listings took price reductions during May, averaging cuts of about 5.9%. And one property expired after 201 days on market at $749,999 — a reminder that even in a tight market, price discipline and presentation matter. Buyers haven't abandoned their judgment. Kingston continues to be one of the most compelling value propositions on the South Shore — strong schools, Route 3 access, the commuter rail, proximity to Plymouth beaches, and home prices that are still competitive compared to towns further north. If you're thinking about selling in Kingston this summer, the conditions are as favorable as they've been. If you're buying, you need a plan and you need to be ready to move fast.
