Another month, another record in the Seacoast’s pricey real estate market.

The median sales price of Seacoast single-family homes exceeded the $1 million threshold in January for the first time.

Seacoast Board of Realtors statistician John Rice, an associate broker with Tate & Foss Sotheby’s International Realty, reported the median price was $1,087,500, a 25.5% increase from January 2025.

The month’s highest-priced sale was in Rye, where a five-bedroom, three-bathroom residence at 433 Central Road, a 15-plus-acre property, sold for $3 million. The circa-1960 ranch-style house is close to Jenness Beach.
