Yes, there are great properties available under $500K in Provincetown.
But… there are only five condos on the market priced under $500K. (There are another 11 for sale at Seashore Point, our over 55 community)
Of the 38 condos that have sold so far this year 24 of them (63%) were priced under $500K. An amazing number! That means there is less than a months available inventory in this price range. Demand is extremely high, supply is extremely low.
My three favorites below represent a studio, a one bedroom and a two bedroom condo.

Early First Quarter Results – Will they determine the direction of the spring market?
It has been an interesting Q1 , with weather issues, political issues, and the continuing stubborn lack of inventory. There are only 40 condos on the market vs 67 last year at this time.
Despite these issues condominium sales are set to surpass last years first quarter sales by close to 30% – 30 sales vs 20 sales last year. This is a good sign of continuing strength in the market. The average sale price is $507K and 60% of those sales were under $500K. This is a very popular price point and there were several really great properties that sold. Below are four examples.
Single family home sales have been sluggish with only four selling so far this year. Last year a total of 12 had sold in the first quarter. There are only 19 homes on the market vs 26 last year.
The economy remains strong even with the volatility in the stock market. Our outer Cape markets are feeling the same inventory pinch as markets nationwide – with absorption rates and prices increasing in both the condo and single family markets. Slightly higher interest rates should have little effect as rates have remained historically low.
Market performance will depend on new inventory entering the market coupled with buyer demand remaining strong. The complete Goode and Farmer Report will be out in early April. Look for it – and I will keep you updated throughout the spring market with new listings, current sales, and many other posts of interest.

The Provincetown high end is as diverse as the town itself. These homes represent lovely family homes and compounds that just happen to have one of the best locations in the world – on the water in Provincetown! These three homes represent the best of Provincetown: a classic waterfront home, a mini- waterfront compound, and an oversized gatehouse to a famous estate. Last week I featured a post on the three highest priced homes for sale in Truro.
There are only 17 single family properties on the market in Provincetown vs 60 in Truro. Of those 17 only 6 are priced below $1M. The average asking price is $1.493M. Last year at this time there were 18 homes on the market with only 3 priced below $1M. These numbers illustrate the historic low inventory levels we are experiencing in Provincetown.
46 single family homes have sold year to date with an average sales price of $1.356M. 50 have sold in Truro year to date.
