Selling a home in Duxbury
Duxbury is a coastal town on Duxbury Bay, incorporated in 1637 by Pilgrims including Myles Standish, John Alden and Elder William Brewster. It is known for Duxbury Beach, the wooden Powder Point Bridge and its oyster farms, like Island Creek Oysters. Buyers come for the water, the history and the quiet.
I’m John Fortes, a real estate agent with RE/MAX Synergy, and I help Duxbury owners sell their homes. I look at your house, your street and the latest numbers, then we build a plan together. You can learn more about how I work on my South Shore home selling page.

Neighborhoods and areas
Duxbury is made up of smaller areas that locals know by name. You will hear Hall’s Corner, Snug Harbor, Powder Point, Millbrook, Island Creek, Cox Corner, Standish Shore (the Nook) and Green Harbor, which is shared with Marshfield. Waterfront and bay-view homes sit next to wooded lots and older village homes.
Duxbury Beach is a barrier beach with a resident lot and over-sand permits. Other spots include the Myles Standish Monument State Reservation and the Mass Audubon North Hill Marsh sanctuary.
On utilities, Duxbury is on town water but is mostly on septic. The exceptions are a few small shared systems and homes on Gurnet Road, which send waste to Marshfield’s plant. Town water rates are rising to pay for PFAS treatment, so buyers ask about it, and I help sellers have that answer ready.
Schools
Duxbury Public Schools is the town’s own PK to 12 district. It includes Chandler School (PK to 2), Alden School (3 to 5), and Duxbury Middle School and Duxbury High School, which share one building on Alden Street. For details on any school, see the Massachusetts DESE school profiles.
Commute
Duxbury has no train station of its own. The closest stop is Kingston station on the Kingston Line, just south of the town line. On the weekday schedule, morning trains from Kingston reach South Station in about 61 to 63 minutes.
By car, Route 3 runs through town with Exits 20 and 22, along with Routes 3A, 14, 53 and 139. The modeled peak drive to Boston is about 65 minutes for roughly 28 miles.
Duxbury market snapshot
These are MLS numbers for Duxbury so far this year, January 1 to November 6, 2026. Single family and condo markets move differently, so I keep them separate.
Single family homes (Source: MLS PIN via Market Numbers, as of 11/6/2026):
- Median sale price: $1,250,000
- Median days on market: 21
- Median sale-to-list price: 100.0%
- Active listings: 24
- Closed sales: 145
Condos (Source: MLS PIN via Market Numbers, as of 11/6/2026):
- Median sale price: $585,000
- Median days on market: 56
- Median sale-to-list price: 98.0%
- Active listings: 13
- Closed sales: 23
What this means for you: For a Duxbury seller, single family homes are moving in about three weeks and selling at full asking price at the median. There were only 24 single family homes for sale at the time, so a well-priced house does not have much competition. Condos are a slower, smaller market, with a median of 56 days and sales a bit under list price, so condo pricing needs extra care. Active listings are the homes for sale at the time, and the other numbers come from sales that already closed.
Reasons to sell in Duxbury

You do not want to sell before the next house is set.
I map the dates so you are not stuck with two payments or nowhere to go.
A multi-family

I follow the lease and the law, and I do not promise that a tenant will leave.
Needs work

A condo

I read those before we set a price.

How I help sellers

Duxbury FAQ
How fast do homes sell in Duxbury?
Duxbury single family homes sold in a median of 21 days on market, and condos in a median of 56 days (Source: MLS PIN via Market Numbers, as of 11/6/2026). Condos are a smaller market here, so they often take longer.
What is the median home price in Duxbury?
The median Duxbury single family sale price was $1,250,000, and the median condo sale price was $585,000 (Source: MLS PIN via Market Numbers, as of 11/6/2026). Waterfront and bay-view homes can sell well above or below that, so I price each home on its own.
Is there a train station in Duxbury?
No, Duxbury has no train station, so most rail riders use Kingston station on the Kingston Line, just south of town. Weekday morning trains from Kingston reach South Station in about 61 to 63 minutes (Source: MBTA Kingston Line schedule, mbta.com, read 10/30/2026).
Are Duxbury homes on septic?
Yes, most Duxbury homes are on septic, because the town has town water but no town-wide sewer. A few areas, like parts of Bay Road and Snug Harbor, use small shared systems, and Gurnet Road homes send waste to Marshfield’s plant. That makes Title 5 part of most sales (Source: South Shore Town Guide, checked 10/30/2026).

Duxbury single family homes sold at a median of 100.0% of list price, and condos at 98.0% (Source: MLS PIN via Market Numbers, as of 11/6/2026). Every house is different, and I price from recent sales near yours.
What is the property tax rate in Duxbury?
Duxbury’s FY2026 tax rate is $9.96 per $1,000 of assessed value (Source: Town of Duxbury Assessing Department, town.duxbury.ma.us, read 10/30/2026). To estimate a yearly bill, multiply the assessed value by 9.96 and divide by 1,000.
Why are Duxbury water rates going up?
Duxbury water rates are going up to pay for PFAS treatment, after two town wells were taken offline because of PFAS (Source: Town of Duxbury Water and Sewer Department and the Duxbury Clipper, via South Shore Town Guide). A treatment project of about $43 million is expected around 2029 to 2031. Buyers often ask about this, so I help sellers have the facts ready.
What public schools serve Duxbury families?
Duxbury Public Schools serves the town from PK to grade 12, with Chandler School (PK to 2), Alden School (3 to 5), and Duxbury Middle and High School in one building on Alden Street (Source: South Shore Town Guide, checked 10/30/2026). For test scores and other school data, see the Massachusetts DESE school profiles.
Who provides electricity and gas in Duxbury?
