Outlook
The Waltham market is strong despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, especially for condos and multi-families, showing that communal living is back on the rise after seeing a sharp decline after the March 2020 shutdown. This, coupled with the increase in single-family home prices, has increased multi-family and condos sales year over year. Accordingly, prices are increasing for condos now that the demand is back. 2022 is predicted to show much of the same as 2021 and we are likely to see the number of sales rise year over year and prices continue to increase.
