2022 Outlook
Beverly’s mid-year data shows a cooling down of the market, a trend being experienced not only in Massachusetts but nationwide. The main driver of this change is rising mortgage rates which have diminished buyer affordability and subsequently removed a large portion of them out of the housing market completely, lowering demand as a result. Buyers will mostly feel the effects of this change as the market shifts out of its frenzied state and into a more balanced place. Both buyers and sellers have ample opportunity to find success in this cooling market, staying informed and prepared for change will be key.
