By: Amanda George, Realtor, George Group Boston | Canton MA 5 Year Housing Forecast & Market Insights
Canton has established itself as one of the South Shore’s most sought-after towns, offering the best of both worlds: suburban charm with easy access to Boston. With strong schools, a family-friendly atmosphere, and excellent commuter connections, the Canton MA 5-Year Housing Forecast shows continued strength in both home values and demand.
Why Choose Canton MA?
Located just 15 miles south of Boston, Canton combines a small-town feel with quick access to Route 128, I‑95, and the MBTA commuter rail. Buyers are drawn to its high-performing schools, well-maintained neighborhoods, and the balance of historic homes with modern builds.
Year‑Over‑Year Market Forecast (2025–2029)
Canton is projected to see 6.0% to 7.5% annual growth in home prices over the next five years. Demand for single-family homes and limited land for new construction will keep inventory tight and competition strong.

2025 | 6.0% |
2026 | 6.5% |
2027 | 6.8% |
2028 | 7.0% |
