Weymouth Sellers Just Had Their Best Quarter Since 2024. September Showed the First Crack.

Data: MLS PIN, single-family homes, Weymouth, through September 30, 2026.

There are two ways to tell the story of Weymouth’s third quarter, and both are true.

The quarterly version: Weymouth just gave sellers their best three months since the spring of 2024. Homes sold for an average of 103.74% of asking from July through September. Prices rose 7.5% year over year. Sales held steady.

The September version: inventory jumped by almost half in a single month, homes took nearly twice as long to sell as they did in August, and the over-asking premium shrank.

This post takes them one at a time, because a Weymouth homeowner deciding what to do this fall needs both.

Part one: the quarter

Measure	Q3 2026	Q3 2025	Change
Homes sold	125	123	+1.6%
Average sale price	$705,764	$656,441	+7.5%
Sale-to-list ratio	103.74%	101.59%	+2.15 pts
Average days on market	27.8	27.3	+0.5 days

On a $700,000 Weymouth list price, a 103.74% ratio means a buyer paid about $26,000 over asking. Across 125 sales, that is real money changing hands in sellers’ favor. It is the highest quarterly ratio in the 18 months we chart below, and the strongest Weymouth has posted since the second quarter of 2024.

The price gain matters too. Weymouth’s Q3 average of $705,764 is up 7.5% on a year ago, well ahead of the 1.5% statewide gain. Weymouth has now averaged more than $700,000 for three consecutive quarters, something it had not done before 2026 in our data.

Why so strong? The same reason we gave in August: Weymouth sits at a price point Boston-area buyers can still reach, with Red Line access at Quincy Adams and Braintree, commuter rail at Weymouth Landing and South Weymouth, and Route 3 at the door. For most of the year there were simply not enough houses.

Part two: September

Then the listings arrived.

Weymouth had 34 single-family homes for sale at the end of August. At the end of September it had 50. That is a 47% increase in one month and the most active listings Weymouth has carried at any point in our records, which go back to early 2023.

The September closings show the effect starting to arrive:

• Homes sold in an average of 40 days, up from 22 in August and the slowest month since March.
• The sale-to-list ratio fell to 101.89%, from 104.01% in August and 105.05% in July.
• Months of inventory rose to 1.14, from 0.84.

None of that is weak. Forty sales is ten more than September 2025, the average price of $696,075 is up 14.8% year over year, and buyers are still paying over asking. But the direction changed in September, and it changed before the October rate jump had a chance to show up in closed sales.

Why the two halves fit together

Weymouth sellers watched a summer of bidding wars and listed. Buyers had been shopping with 30-year rates near 6.5%. By the time much of that new supply was on the market, rates were climbing toward 7% and then past it, reaching 7.28% by October 1.

So Weymouth is entering the fall with its most inventory in years and its buyers’ budgets shrinking at the same time. Well-priced, updated homes will still sell, probably still near or above asking. The squeeze lands on everything else.

For the regional picture, see our South Shore Q3 2026 vs. Q3 2025 roundup. Last month’s Weymouth report on over-asking sales shows how strong July and August were.

Selling in Weymouth this fall

Fifty listings means a buyer touring Weymouth in October has options for the first time in a long while, and buyers with options skip the houses that need work. Weymouth has a lot of those: postwar capes and ranches through North Weymouth, Lovell’s Corner and Idlewell that have not been touched in decades, older homes with original wiring and oil heat, and properties with unrepaired fire damage or water damage that a lender will not touch until it is fixed.

The over-asking market of July and August was forgiving about condition. A 50-listing market with 7% mortgages is not.

Bluefin Property Buyers buys Weymouth houses for cash, as they are. We are a Massachusetts cash buyer that renovates and resells homes across the South Shore, so condition is something we price in, not a reason to walk away. No lender, no appraisal, no inspection contingency, no commission, and the closing date is yours to pick.
