Selling a home in Halifax
Halifax was settled in 1669 and split from Plympton to become its own town in 1734. It was named for Halifax, England. The East and West Monponsett Ponds sit at the heart of town, split by a narrow strip of land that carries Route 58.
I’m John Fortes, a real estate agent with RE/MAX Synergy, and I help Halifax owners sell their homes. I walk the house, check the septic and water details for your address, and lay out a clear plan. You can learn more about how I work on my South Shore home selling page.

Neighborhoods and areas
Halifax Center has colonials and Capes along older streets. Near the Monponsett Ponds, homes range from older camps that became year-round houses to Capes and ranches on modest lots. Homes near the water and in the center sell differently, so I price from sales close to yours.
Town beaches for Halifax residents sit on Holmes Street and Monponsett Street, and the Board of Health posts their status. Halifax also has Robbins Pond and Burrage Pond, and small seaplanes sometimes land on East Monponsett Pond. Halifax has no ocean beach.
Halifax has a town water department that bills metered water twice a year. The town has no municipal sewer, so homes use septic systems, and the Board of Health has its own septic rules on top of the state’s Title 5 code. Residents not on curbside pickup buy a $75 sticker for the town Recycling Center.
Schools
Halifax Elementary School serves kindergarten to grade 6. Older students attend the Silver Lake Regional schools, shared with Kingston and Plympton. Silver Lake Regional Middle School serves grades 7 and 8, and Silver Lake Regional High School serves grades 9 to 12, both in Kingston.

Halifax market snapshot
These numbers come from MLS PIN, year to date as of 11/6/2026 (January 1 to November 6, 2026), median view.
Single family homes:
- Median sale price: $623,950
- Median days on market: 22
- Sale price to final list price: 100.0%
- Active listings: 5
- Closed sales so far this year: 76
Condos:
- Median sale price: $437,974
- Median days on market: 20
- Sale price to final list price: 101.1%
- Active listings: 8
- Closed sales so far this year: 45
What this means for you: Halifax single family homes are selling in about three weeks, right at asking at the median. Only 5 single family homes were for sale at the time, so buyers had very few choices. Condos sold a little faster and slightly above asking, which shows steady demand for that price range.
Reasons to sell in Halifax
The worry, then how I help.
Upsizing
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
Tenants may still be in the home, and you are ready to sell.
I follow the lease and the law, and I do not promise that a tenant will leave.
Needs work
The house needs work and you do not want to renovate first.
I price it as it stands, and that opinion is not a home inspection.
Inherited
You inherited a house and you are not sure what you can do yet.
I coordinate with your estate attorney, and I do not give legal advice.
A condo
Fees, reserves, or the rules can surprise a buyer.
I read those before we set a price.
Buy and sell
You need to sell one home and buy the next.
I put both dates on paper before we list.
How I help sellers
From the first call through closing, you deal with me.
Pricing
I price from recent sales and the repairs that pay you back, and this is my opinion, not an appraisal.
Prep
I give you a short prep list and introduce vendors that you hire and pay yourself.
Negotiation
I negotiate price, dates, and inspection terms, and I keep my list to 6 to 8 so I have the time.
Closing
A transaction coordinator keeps the file moving, and you still talk to me.
Buying in Halifax
Or find your next home in Halifax. Before you offer, I look at the roof, the foundation, and the systems. I bring trusted home inspectors and I walk through the inspection with you. I do not replace the inspector.
First home

The inspection
You want someone with you who can explain what the report means.
I bring trusted home inspectors and I walk through the inspection with you.
The trip to Boston
You work in Boston and you need the real trip, by train or by car.
I talk about the rail and the roads as facts, then I look at the house.

Are Halifax homes on sewer or septic?
Halifax homes use septic systems, because the town does not have a municipal sewer system (Source: Town of Halifax Board of Health Wastewater Management District regulation, halifaxma.gov, read 11/1/2026). Homes near the Monponsett Ponds sit in wastewater management districts that track septic pump-outs and inspections, so I plan the septic inspection early.

Yes, Halifax single family homes sold at a median of 100.0% of the final list price, and condos sold at 101.1% (Source: MLS PIN, year to date as of 11/6/2026). Strong offers still come from good pricing and a home that shows well.

Does Halifax have town water?
Yes, Halifax has a town water department, which bills metered water twice a year (Source: Town of Halifax Water Rates page, halifaxma.gov, read 11/1/2026). I confirm whether each home is on town water or a private well before we list.

Halifax students attend Halifax Elementary School for kindergarten to grade 6, then Silver Lake Regional Middle School and Silver Lake Regional High School in Kingston (Source: Massachusetts DESE school profiles, 2025-26, checked 11/1/2026). Each school’s own page has current details.

National Grid provides electricity in Halifax, and Eversource Gas Company of Massachusetts holds the town’s natural gas franchise (Source: MassDOT utilities list and Massachusetts DPU gas franchise list, via South Shore Town Guide, checked 10/22/2026). Gas lines do not reach every street, so I check service for your address.
