This 17.2% drop occurred while active listings stood at 59 units, indicating ample supply for prospective buyers. The reduction suggests that sellers are adjusting prices to match current market conditions rather than maintaining earlier asking levels. New listings increased by 29.41% year-over-year to reach 22 units in October 2026. This surge in new supply coincided with only six sold listings during the same reference period. The imbalance between incoming inventory and transaction volume reinforces the characterization of Truro as a strong buyer's market, where purchasers have significant choice and negotiating power.

That figure represented an 18.4% increase compared to January 2025, when the average was $340,258. This initial rise pushed the average past the $400,000 mark for only the second time on record, following October 2025. The subsequent decline in median prices by late summer contrasts sharply with this early-year strength. While the January average reflected higher-priced transactions, the October median indicates that typical home values have retreated significantly. This divergence highlights how different price metrics can capture distinct aspects of market behavior over time, with medians often responding more quickly to shifts in transaction mix.
