December 2025 Rockport Real Estate Market Update

As we head into 2026, December’s data provides a clear snapshot of where the Rockport real estate market stands. Inventory continued to trend lower, closed-sale pricing firmed up, and buyer leverage remained in place. While activity stayed seasonal, the numbers suggest the market may be starting to stabilize after a slower fall.

Here’s a closer look at how the Rockport market performed in December 2025.

Key Market Metrics

Months of Inventory
Months of inventory declined to 10.66, down 7.5% from November and nearly 29% lower year over year. While Rockport remains a buyer-leaning market, this continued drop in inventory is an important shift heading into 2026.

Median Days on Market
Homes spent a median of 168 days on the market, up 52.7% month over month. Buyers are still taking their time, carefully evaluating value and negotiating terms before committing.

List to Sold Price Ratio
The sold-to-list price ratio improved slightly to 96.6%. Buyers continue to have leverage, but the gap between asking prices and final sales prices is beginning to narrow.

Median Sold Price
The median sold price rose to $376,000, an increase of 10.6% from November. This jump appears to be driven more by the mix of homes that closed rather than broad appreciation across the market.

Additional Market Insights

A deeper look at the RPR data helps explain the trends behind the headline numbers:

New Listings
December saw 52 new listings, down more than 40% from November. The median list price climbed to $427,000, suggesting that sellers who listed during the holidays were more confident in their pricing.

Active Listings
There were 541 active listings on the market with a median list price of $400,000. Homes spent a median of 141 days active, reinforcing how important pricing and presentation remain.

Pending Listings
There were 55 pending listings in December with a median list price of $357,900. While more homes went under contract, pricing softened slightly, pointing to buyers staying disciplined.

Sold Listings
A total of 38 homes closed in December with a median sold price of $376,000. Total sales volume reached $17.77 million, an increase from November despite the typical year-end slowdown.

What This Means for Buyers and Sellers

For buyers, December continued to offer opportunity. Longer market times and pricing flexibility created room for negotiation, especially on homes that had been on the market for an extended period.

For sellers, the data reinforces the need for strategy. Homes priced accurately and presented well are still selling, while listings that miss the mark are taking longer to gain traction.

Looking Ahead to 2026

As we move into early 2026, the key question will be whether inventory continues to tighten or levels off once new listings return in the spring. The recent improvements in inventory levels and pricing alignment suggest the market may be finding more balance.
