Hull’s housing market has always marched to its own drummer. As a narrow peninsula town with ocean views, beachfront properties, and a much smaller, more seasonal buyer pool than its mainland neighbors, Hull’s numbers can swing harder than almost anywhere else on the South Shore. The first half of 2026 delivered exactly that kind of ride — and it ended with a genuinely strong story for sellers.
Inventory Nearly Tripled by Late Spring
Active listings in Hull climbed steadily from 15 homes in January to 30 homes in May — a doubling of the shelf in just four months. Months of inventory followed the same climb, rising from 1.58 in January to 5.45 in May, effectively moving Hull from a seller’s market toward a much more balanced one by late spring, before easing back slightly to 4.15 in June as more of that inventory found buyers.

A Wild Start to the Year, Then a Strong Finish
The early months of 2026 were volatile even by Hull’s standards. With only 3 to 6 homes closing in any given month, the averages bounced hard: February’s average sold price spiked to $1,146,333 on just 3 sales, then dropped to $577,500 in March, also on 3 sales. That’s not a sign the market lost half its value overnight — it’s what happens when a handful of very different properties (a couple of high-end waterfront sales one month, a couple of more modest inland sales the next) make up the entire month’s data in a small market.
By April, sales volume picked up and the picture stabilized: 9 homes sold at an average of $1,021,667, followed by 7 sales at $1,062,556 in May and 8 sales at $1,067,700 in June. June also closed with the best sold-to-list ratio of the half at 100.92% and the fastest average days on market at just 27 days — a strong finish heading into Hull’s peak summer season.
Prices Are Meaningfully Higher Than a Year Ago
Compared to the same months in 2025, Hull’s price growth in 2026 stands out. April 2026’s average sold price of $1,021,667 was up about 23% from April 2025’s $833,000. May 2026 was up roughly 11% year-over-year, and June 2026’s $1,067,700 came in about 30% higher than June 2025’s $819,764. Even with more homes on the shelf, buyers paid meaningfully more for Hull real estate in 2026 than they did the year before.

Hull vs. the Rest of Massachusetts
While Massachusetts as a whole saw a fairly steady, gradual loosening of inventory through the first half of 2026 (1.04 to 2.45 months of supply), Hull’s swing from 1.58 to 5.45 months was far more dramatic — a reminder that coastal, lower-volume markets like Hull don’t move in lockstep with the broader state trend. When the numbers are built on a handful of transactions a month, a single busy or slow stretch can move the needle more than it would almost anywhere else in the region.
What This Means If You’re Selling in Hull
Rising inventory generally means more competition among sellers, but Hull’s price data suggests buyers are still willing to pay up for the right property — particularly as summer approaches and seasonal buyer interest picks up. If your home fits what today’s Hull buyers are looking for, this has been a genuinely strong window. If it needs work, or if you’d rather not wait through a slower stretch for the right buyer to show up, there’s a more direct route.

Hull Housing Market FAQs
Are home prices rising in Hull, MA in 2026?
Yes, significantly. June 2026’s average sold price of $1,067,700 was about 30% higher than June 2025, and April 2026 was up roughly 23% year-over-year compared to April 2025.
Is Hull, MA a buyer’s or seller’s market in 2026?
It shifted over the first half of the year. Months of inventory started at a seller’s-market level of 1.58 in January and climbed to 5.45 by May — closer to a balanced market — before easing back to 4.15 in June as more homes sold.
Why do Hull home prices swing so much month to month?
Hull has a small, low-volume market, with as few as 3 homes closing in a given month during early 2026. When that few transactions make up a month’s average, one or two unusually priced sales (such as a waterfront property) can swing the reported average dramatically, as seen when February’s $1,146,333 average dropped to $577,500 in March.
How long does it take to sell a house in Hull right now?
It varies month to month, but June 2026 was the fastest of the first half, with sold homes averaging just 27 days on market, compared to a slower stretch in April 2026 at 108 days.
What is the average home price in Hull, MA?
Excluding the volatile February and March figures, Hull’s average sold price generally ranged from about $1,020,000 to $1,070,000 from April through June 2026.
