Groveland MA Real Estate Market Report
Groveland, MA
A quiet single-family town on the Merrimack — and one of the North Shore's most under-the-radar value stories, where home prices have more than doubled in a decade.
The single-family town that quietly doubled
Tucked along the north bank of the Merrimack River, Groveland is one of the smaller towns in Essex County — roughly 6,700 residents across about nine square miles. Set off from Bradford in 1850, it has stayed what it has always been: a quiet, almost entirely single-family residential town. There are no condo towers and effectively no multi-family market here — in twelve years of records, Groveland has closed zero multi-family sales. What it offers instead is space, Pentucket Regional schools shared with Merrimac and West Newbury, and the kind of small-town life — Veasey Park on Johnson's Pond, the Bagnall School, easy reach to I-495 and Haverhill's commuter rail — that families increasingly drive a little farther to find.
And the numbers tell a story most people miss. The average single-family home in Groveland has climbed from $357K in 2014 to $766K in 2025 — a 115% increase — while price per square foot has more than doubled, from $178 to $390. Homes that took 76 days to sell in 2014 were moving in under a month at the 2021 peak, and today's market is genuinely tight: roughly 1.6 months of supply and only a handful of active listings at any given time. For buyers priced out of pricier neighbors like Newburyport, Groveland has become the value play — a real single-family home, in a strong school district, minutes from the same river.
Here's twelve years of Groveland data.

Why we love serving Groveland
In Greater Newburyport, we've held the #1 market-share position for seven consecutive years. Groveland sits right on the edge of that home turf — same river, same school-district families, the same buyers we already work with every day — and we bring that identical intensity here. It's a market where no single brokerage dominates, which means the door is wide open for the firm that shows up most consistently with real data and real results.
What makes Groveland special is exactly what the numbers show: it's a pure single-family town that has rewarded the people who own here, while staying within reach of buyers who've been priced out elsewhere on the North Shore. The Pentucket schools, the open space, Veasey Park and Johnson's Pond, the quick hop to I-495 and the Haverhill commuter line — it's the kind of place that doesn't need a sales pitch once a family sees it. Our job is to make sure they understand the market they're buying into or selling in, with the same data-driven approach that made us #1 next door.
Whether you're a longtime owner sitting on a decade of appreciation or a buyer chasing single-family value within striking distance of Newburyport, we bring the market knowledge, the marketing, and the client-first service that set us apart. Groveland deserves that level of attention — and we're already here delivering it.
