Marshfield Real Estate Overview

The Marshfield housing market remains very competitive, with strong buyer activity despite recent price adjustments. Last month, the median sale price was $720K, reflecting a 10.0% year-over-year decline—likely due to shifts in the mix of homes sold or a cooling at the higher end. However, the median price per square foot rose 11.9% to \$401, suggesting buyers are still willing to pay a premium for well-located, efficiently sized homes. This contrast points to sustained demand for quality properties, even as overall prices adjust.

What to Consider When Getting Properties in Marshfield, MA

For detailed, up-to-date information on buying a house in Marshfield, including legal considerations and market trends, you can talk to us.

Large portions of Marshfield’s shoreline (Fieldston, Ocean Bluff–Brant Rock, Green Harbor, Rexhame) sit in FEMA AE/VE flood zones. Before you offer, pull the exact parcel on the Town’s GIS/FEMA layers, confirm base flood elevation, and understand how Marshfield’s Floodplain Bylaw and building standards (e.g., elevation, flood-resistant materials) affect renovations and premiums. Also review the town’s 2023 Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan and Long-Term Coastal Resilience Plan for projected sea-level rise and storm impacts; these influence long-term value and insurability.

Rexhame is a classic barrier-beach/dune system with a different risk/feel than seawall-fronted stretches like Brant Rock/Ocean Bluff; that distinction affects storm behavior, maintenance, and buyer preferences. Parking and access also vary by beach and season (resident stickers, daily fees), which matters for guests and rental appeal. Walkability to services in Brant Rock or the village feel of Green Harbor creates distinct demand patterns compared with quieter dune neighborhoods.

Marshfield has both municipal sewered areas and many homes on private septic. For septic properties, Massachusetts Title 5 governs inspections at sale; Marshfield’s Board of Health enforces local provisions (e.g., treatment of cesspools, soil evaluations to determine seasonal high groundwater). For buyers, this means budgeting for inspection/outcomes, understanding upgrade triggers, and recognizing that shallow coastal water tables can constrain system design or expansion.

If boating/fishing is part of your lifestyle, proximity to Green Harbor and its federal navigation project is a premium. Confirm mooring/marina options and note that periodic maintenance dredging and jetty work can create seasonal activity but keep channels usable—important for long-term access and property desirability near the waterfront.

Marshfield has no in-town commuter rail, but buyers often use the MBTA Greenbush Line from nearby Scituate (North Scituate/Greenbush stations) or drive to the Hingham ferry for a water commute to Boston. Local GATRA SAIL bus service connects Marshfield villages (including Brant Rock) to Kingston/retail nodes; some commuters also utilize regional Park-and-Ride lots such as Rockland. Test your actual route/timetable to size commute reliability.

The Marshfield Fairgrounds host the long-running Marshfield Fair each August and major concerts (e.g., Levitate Music Festival). Nearby neighborhoods enjoy walkability and seasonal vibrancy, but buyers should account for event-week traffic, parking patterns, and noise windows when assessing micro-location fit and resale positioning.
