Selling a home in Pembroke
Pembroke was settled around 1650 and was part of Duxbury until it became its own town in 1712. Its Native name, Mattakeesett, means “place of much fish,” a nod to its herring runs. The Pembroke Friends Meetinghouse, built in 1706, still stands where Routes 139 and 53 meet.
I’m John Fortes, a real estate agent with RE/MAX Synergy, and I help Pembroke owners sell their homes. I walk the house, check the septic 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
Locals know Pembroke by areas like Bryantville near the Hanson line, North Pembroke and East Pembroke. The town is full of ponds, including Oldham, Furnace, Great Sandy Bottom, Stetson and Silver Lake. Homes near the water and homes on wooded lots sell differently, so I price from sales close to yours.
Every spring, the Grand Old Fish Fry fills the Herring Run Park, and the town has regulated herring taking since 1741. Pembroke also has a town forest in several sections.
Pembroke homes are on town water from four wells and three treatment plants. Homes generally use septic systems, and Pembroke’s septic rules are stricter than the state code because of its many ponds. The town picks up trash and recycling curbside, and the FY2027 fee is $480 a year.
Schools
Pembroke Public Schools has three elementary schools: Bryantville, Hobomock and North Pembroke, all through grade 6. Students in grades 7 and 8 attend Pembroke Community Middle School. Pembroke High School serves grades 9 to 12.
Commute
Pembroke has no commuter rail station, but the Kingston Line stops in nearby Hanson and Halifax. Route 3 has an exit at Route 139 in the northeast corner of town. Routes 14, 27, 36, 53 and 139 also run through Pembroke, and the modeled peak drive to Boston is about 58 minutes for roughly 24 miles.
Pembroke market snapshot
These are MLS numbers for Pembroke 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: $677,500
- Median days on market: 20
- Median sale-to-list price: 100.4%
- Active listings: 21
- Closed sales: 132
Condos (Source: MLS PIN via Market Numbers, as of 11/6/2026):
- Median sale price: $492,500
- Median days on market: 21
- Median sale-to-list price: 100.0%
- Active listings: 4
- Closed sales: 24
What this means for you: For a Pembroke seller, single family homes are selling in about three weeks, and the median sale came in above asking price. Condos also sold in about three weeks, right at asking at the median. With only 21 single family homes and 4 condos for sale at the time, buyers have few choices, which helps well-priced homes. Active listings are the homes for sale at the time, and the other numbers come from sales that already closed.
Reasons to sell in Pembroke
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

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.

Pembroke FAQ
How fast do homes sell in Pembroke?
Pembroke single family homes sold in a median of 20 days on market, and condos in a median of 21 days (Source: MLS PIN via Market Numbers, as of 11/6/2026). Speed depends on the home, the street and the price.
What is the median home price in Pembroke?
The median Pembroke single family sale price was $677,500, and the median condo sale price was $492,500 (Source: MLS PIN via Market Numbers, as of 11/6/2026). Prices vary from one part of town to the next, so a median is only a starting point.
Is there a train station in Pembroke?
No, Pembroke has no commuter rail station, but Kingston Line trains stop in nearby Hanson and Halifax (Source: MBTA Kingston Line, mbta.com, read 10/31/2026). Most commuters drive to one of those stations or take Route 3.
What should I know about septic when selling a Pembroke home?
If a Title 5 inspection fails when you sell a Pembroke home, the septic system must be repaired or replaced before the sale (Source: Town of Pembroke Board of Health FAQ, pembroke-ma.gov, read 10/31/2026). Since May 6, 2019, a cesspool automatically fails when a property changes hands. Pembroke’s septic rules are stricter than the state code, so I plan the inspection early.

Yes, Pembroke single family homes sold at a median of 100.4% of list price, and condos at 100.0% (Source: MLS PIN via Market Numbers, as of 11/6/2026). Every house is different, and I price from recent sales near yours.

Pembroke’s FY2026 tax rate is $11.78 per $1,000 of assessed value (Source: Town of Pembroke Assessors FAQ, pembroke-ma.gov, read 10/31/2026). The town lists the average single family assessment at $638,400, with an average tax bill of $7,520. To estimate a yearly bill, multiply the assessed value by 11.78 and divide by 1,000.

Who provides electricity and gas in Pembroke?
Electricity in Pembroke is split, with Eversource serving some parts of town and National Grid serving others, so check the address (Source: Eversource and National Grid service maps, via South Shore Town Guide, checked 10/22/2026). Eversource Gas Company of Massachusetts holds the town’s natural gas franchise, and gas is not on every street.
