One part of Outer Cape is moving MUCH faster than the rest
Freddie Mac put the 30-year fixed rate at 7.40% as of October 8, 2026. That is the highest it has been since early 2025. Most buyers feel it. But one ZIP code on the Outer Cape is barely blinking.
ZIP 02667 is the outlier
The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 27 homes sold in ZIP 02667 in the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is up 125% from the same months in 2025. Sales more than doubled, year over year.
The median days on market there was 19 days. That is 24 days shorter than a year ago. Homes are moving fast, and getting faster.
The Real Estate Data Aggregator also counted 43 pending sales in ZIP 02667 for that same period, up 65.4% from a year before. That pipeline is strong. And 22.2% of homes sold above list price, up 5.5 points from 2025.
That 99.7% sale-to-list ratio is the highest of any ZIP in this market. Sellers there are getting nearly every dollar they ask for.
How the rest of Outer Cape compares
The other ZIPs tell a different story. Most are moving, but none match ZIP 02667's pace. Here is how days on market lines up across the market, per the Real Estate Data Aggregator.
ZIP 02633 was close behind at 20 days, and that ZIP also had 43.9% of homes go under contract within two weeks of listing, per the Real Estate Data Aggregator. That is the highest quick-contract share in the market.
ZIP 02653 cut its median days on market by 27 days compared to last year. That is a big shift. The Real Estate Data Aggregator put it at 25 days for the three months ending August 31, 2026.
On the slower end, ZIP 02657 sat at 50 days on market. New listings there dropped 23.5% year over year. Fewer homes came to market, and it still took longer to sell.
Price picture across the market
Prices vary a lot by ZIP. ZIP 02650 had the highest median sale price at $2,375,000 for the three months ending August 31, 2026, per the Real Estate Data Aggregator. ZIP 02667, the fastest mover, had a median of $895,000. That was actually down 21% from a year ago.
So the speed in ZIP 02667 is not about high prices. It is about demand at a price point more buyers can reach, even with a 7.40% rate.
What this means for you
If you are buying in ZIP 02667, 19 days is the median. Some homes moved faster. Plan ahead and be ready to decide quickly.
If you own in ZIP 02667, demand held up even as Freddie Mac reported rates at 7.40% as of October 8, 2026. That is not nothing.
