Estimated pricing by home size, modeled from Swampscott's current price-per-square-foot range ($325–$385/sqft). Use as a directional guide — confirm with active comps for a specific listing.
| Home Type | Typical Size | Est. Price Range |
|---|---|---|
| Condo / Studio-1BR | ~600–850 sq ft | $195,000 – $325,000 |
| Condo / 2BR | ~950–1,300 sq ft | $310,000 – $500,000 |
| Single-Family (starter) | ~1,300–1,800 sq ft | $425,000 – $695,000 |
| Single-Family / Oceanfront | ~2,000–3,200 sq ft | $650,000 – $1,230,000 |
Swampscott's June median sale price of $605,000 is up 10.5% year-over-year, yet median price per square foot fell 3.6% to $351 — the two moving in opposite directions usually means smaller, denser homes and condos made up more of what closed, not that values dropped. Zillow's typical home value backs that up, still climbing 2.2% to $847,308. Homes took 21 days to sell versus 15 a year ago, and the Compete Score eased to 77, so the frenzy has cooled to merely competitive. With 43 active listings in a town this small, comps get thin fast — pull the specific street, not the town median, before setting a price.
