One part of Weymouth is still moving VERY fast

Real estate, Weymouth

Rates are up. Realtor.com reported mortgage rates climbed above 7% for the first time since January 2025. That is real. But in ZIP 02188, the tightest part of Weymouth, buyers are not waiting around.

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted just 0.5 months of supply in ZIP 02188 for the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is down 0.4 months from the same period a year before. At that level, new listings do not sit long.

The Real Estate Data Aggregator found that 68.3% of homes in ZIP 02188 went under contract within two weeks of listing. That share is up 5.8 points from a year before. Nearly 7 in 10 homes, gone in a fortnight.

How the four ZIP codes compare

Weymouth has four ZIP codes, and they are not all reading the same story right now.

ZIP 02188: prices up, inventory shrinking

The Real Estate Data Aggregator put the median sale price in ZIP 02188 at $675,000 for the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is up 11.6% from the same period in 2025. Fifty-four homes sold, up 38.5% year over year.

Only 9 homes were for sale in ZIP 02188, down 18.2% from a year before. New listings fell 13.5% to just 32. Sellers are not flooding in, and buyers are competing hard for what shows up.

The Real Estate Data Aggregator found that 53.7% of homes in ZIP 02188 sold above list price, up 5 points from a year ago. Homes averaged 103.2% of list price at sale. Price and prep still matter, because buyers are paying attention to both.

East Weymouth (02189): more homes, softer prices

East Weymouth tells a different story. The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 25 homes for sale in ZIP 02189, up 56.3% from a year before. Months of supply rose to 2.1, up 1.2 months year over year.

The median sale price in ZIP 02189 came in at $560,000 for the three months ending August 31, 2026, down 13.8% from the same period in 2025. Homes sold above list price in 48.7% of cases, down 19.2 points year over year. More supply, more room to negotiate.

North Weymouth (02191): the highest sale-to-list ratio of all four

North Weymouth had the highest sale-to-list ratio: 104.5%, up 3.6 points year over year, per the Real Estate Data Aggregator. Nearly 7 in 10 homes sold above list price, at 69.7%, up 19.7 points from a year before. That is a big jump.

Still, months of supply in ZIP 02191 rose to 1.9, up 0.5 months year over year. The share of homes going under contract within two weeks slipped 2.1 points to 54.6%. It is competitive, but a little less frantic than ZIP 02188 right now.

South Weymouth (02190): the busiest by volume

ZIP 02190 had the most sales: 67 homes sold in the three months ending August 31, 2026, up 19.6% year over year, per the Real Estate Data Aggregator. The median sale price was $650,000, up just 0.4% from a year before.

Months of supply in ZIP 02190 held at 1.1, down slightly from a year ago. Homes averaged 102.3% of list price. Not as tight as ZIP 02188, but still clearly a seller's market.

Rates are above 7%. Here is the honest picture.

Realtor.com reported that mortgage rates climbed above 7% for the first time since January 2025. Nationally, the Federal Housing Finance Agency found U.S. house prices rose 2.4% from August 2025 to August 2026. That is slower than Weymouth's tightest ZIP, which posted 11.6% price growth.

Rates matter. But in ZIP 02188, buyers are still moving. The data through August 31, 2026 shows that. If you own there, a sharp price and a ready home still produce results. If you are buying there, you need to be pre-approved and ready before the right home appears.
