Are Home Prices Rising in Bourne, MA?

I am Susan Gorden Ryan, and I get asked whether prices are rising in Bourne more than almost any other question. The honest answer is that Bourne is nine villages, not one market, and a single town-wide figure averages Buzzards Bay against Cataumet against Sagamore Beach, three places that do not trade anything alike.

Mainland villages with bridge-free access, waterfront versus non-waterfront, and whether a village carries the specifically Cape-side address some buyers pay a premium for, all move independently of each other. A strong month in one village tells you very little about the next one over. The bridge replacement project happening right now has added a further wrinkle, with demand shifting between the mainland and Cape-side villages while construction is underway. I cover that specifically in how the bridge project is splitting Bourne's housing market.

Rather than quote a figure here that will be out of date by the time you read it, I publish an actual monthly market report pulled from the Massachusetts Association of REALTORS®, and Bourne is one of the ten towns it covers alongside Mattapoisett, Marion and the rest of the South Coast and Cape. See the latest at the South Coast and Cape Cod market report.

If you want the number for a specific village or street rather than the town average, get in touch and I will pull the real comparable sales for exactly where you are looking.
