This description is compiled from the figures above and from published sources. It is not a statistic.
Lawrencetown’s current for-sale market is small and fairly measured, with 11 active listings showing a median asking price of $349,900, an average of $178 per square foot, and an average 95 days on market so far. Inventory spans a mix of rural and coastal properties across the broader community—typically smaller, more affordable homes or cottages alongside higher-priced waterfront and acreage options—so value can vary significantly by proximity to the coast and lot size. With only 2 new listings in the past 30 days, fresh selection is limited, which can support pricing on well-positioned homes, but the longer average time listed suggests buyers still have room to negotiate, especially on listings that have lingered.
