Quincy runs at a steady pace. From April through August, 81 to 93 homes came on each month and 66 to 88 went under agreement.
September broke the pattern. 131 new listings came on while pendings held at 67, so inventory jumped from 181 to 242. Inventory has risen in four of the last five months, from 135 in April to 242.
At 2.6 months of supply, Quincy is still a seller’s market. Single-family homes sold at a median of 101.3% of list in 20 days. Condos sold at 98.7% of list in 27 days, so condo buyers have more room to negotiate, and all buyers have more choice this fall.

How to read it: New Listings counts homes listed that month. Total Active Inventory is everything on the market at the start of the month plus that month's new listings, so it counts every home a buyer could have seen that month. Went Pending counts homes that went under agreement, by offer date. Closed counts sales that recorded that month. All property types (single-family, condo and multi-family) are included.
Source: MLS Property Information Network, Inc. (MLS PIN), Norfolk County data as of Oct 7, 2026. Deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Apr closings start Apr 7, so they're a few days short. Listings that were withdrawn or expired aren't in the export, so earlier months slightly undercount new listings and inventory. The latest month's pending count will rise as recent listings go under agreement. Medians based on small numbers of sales can swing month to month.

Common questions about Quincy
Is Quincy a buyer's or seller's market right now?
As of Oct 7, 2026, Quincy has about 2.6 months of supply (193 active listings against roughly 74 closings a month over the last three months), which points to a seller's market. From Jul–Sep 2026, single-family homes sold at a median of 101.3% of list price. I update this every month from MLS PIN.
How do I commute from Quincy to Boston?
Most commuters take the Red Line from one of the four Quincy stations, or commuter rail from Quincy Center to South Station. By car, I-93, the Southeast Expressway, is the main route.
Where are Quincy deeds recorded?
At the Norfolk County Registry of Deeds in Dedham.
Do I need flood insurance in Quincy?
It depends on the property. Parts of Quincy’s waterfront neighborhoods, such as Houghs Neck and Adams Shore, are in FEMA flood zones, and lenders usually require flood insurance for homes in high-risk zones. I check the FEMA flood map early for any coastal listing.
