A notable development: condo inventory has doubled to 18 units with a 15.4-month supply—indicating a buyer's market for those seeking condominium properties in Lunenburg County. The increased inventory-to-sales ratio suggests buyers have considerably more selection and negotiating leverage in this segment.
Market Outlook
Improved conditions are emerging in Lunenburg County. Inventory is up nearly 10%, days on market have extended, and sellers are accepting offers averaging 4.3% below list price. For condo buyers specifically, the 15.4-month supply represents significant negotiating opportunity.
Despite longer selling times, Lunenburg County's pricing trajectory remains positive. The 13.4% median price gain in December and 11.8% annual average price growth demonstrate continued demand—particularly for well-positioned properties. Strategic pricing aligned with current market expectations will be essential for achieving optimal outcomes.
Key Takeaways
Lunenburg County delivered a solid 2025 with 635 single-family sales at an average price of $525,690. While the market has shifted from the frenzied conditions of recent years, fundamental demand remains healthy. The increasing spread between median and average prices suggests particular strength in higher-end coastal properties and waterfront homes that define the region's appeal.
Looking ahead, the combination of rising inventory, extended selling times, and improved buyer negotiating power points toward a more balanced market—one that rewards both well-priced listings and patient, informed buyers.
