Moorings Real Estate Market Update: Fourth Quarter 2025

Market Overview

The Moorings real estate market ended 2025 with noteworthy shifts in both inventory and pricing dynamics. Available homes for sale settled at 205 properties in December, representing a modest decline from November's 209 listings but still significantly higher than the 185 homes available at the end of 2024.

This gradual increase in available inventory reflects a market that has moved away from the tight supply conditions of prior years and into a more normalized environment.

Price Trends in Q4 2025

December's median sale price of $1,227,500 showed typical seasonal movement, though notably lower than the stronger figures seen earlier in the year, particularly compared to March's peak of $2,900,000. Seasonal fluctuations are not unusual in The Moorings, where high-value waterfront transactions can meaningfully influence monthly medians.

The median price per square foot in December was $761, reflecting a market finding its footing after considerable fluctuation throughout the year. This metric remains one of the most reliable indicators of underlying value, especially in a luxury neighborhood where property size and renovation level vary significantly.

Luxury Segment and Property-Specific Pricing

An important pattern emerging in The Moorings is the widening spread between premium waterfront properties and inland homes. Pricing has become increasingly property-specific. Location, lot orientation, renovation quality, and proximity to beach access are playing decisive roles in final sale prices.

Buyers are demonstrating discernment, and sellers are finding that strategic pricing aligned with property condition is essential in this environment.

Inventory Levels and Market Balance

Inventory levels remained relatively consistent throughout the fourth quarter, maintaining between 175 and 210 available properties. This consistency signals a more balanced market compared to the tighter conditions experienced in previous years.

Buyers now have more options and greater flexibility, while well-positioned properties continue to retain reasonable seller leverage. The current environment favors preparation and pricing precision over urgency.

Early Indicators for 2026

As we move into 2026, early indicators suggest continued stability in inventory levels. January showed an uptick to 218 available properties, aligning with typical seasonal patterns as sellers position their homes for the prime winter selling season.

We are monitoring price per square foot trends closely, as they often provide early signals of market direction. The recent stabilization around the mid-$700s to high-$800s per square foot suggests a market finding equilibrium after the volatility of previous quarters.
