2023 Outlook

The Beverly real estate market continued to adjust in the latter half of 2022, drawing close parallels with national market trends, with home sales down overall and prices up. As we head into 2023, we expect the market to continue to adjust down in the same fashion, if not more, than 2022. There are significantly less buyers in the market as the increased mortgage rates continue to diminish buyer affordability. On top of that, there aren’t as many sellers in the market as there would be because people are reluctant to give up their low mortgage interest rates. Additionally, prices have continued to increase, but not at the rate they had been rising in 2020 & 2021. In Anthony’s 2023 Predictions, he dives deeper into these points to provide a comprehensive outlook & analysis of the real estate market in the upcoming year.
