2023 Outlook
The Braintree real estate market continued to cool through the 2nd half of 2022. Now, as we enter 2023, the Braintree market will experience much of the same as the end of 2022 with sales down and prices up. Mortgage rates have increased significantly over the last few months resulting in fewer buyers that are able to afford homes. Additionally, there are also fewer sellers in the market since many do not want to give up their current lower rate mortgages. These factors combined will create a slower than usual market. Prices remain high but aren’t increasing at the same record-breaking pace as before. Anthony’s 2023 Predictions explain in-depth what homeowners should expect when making decisions about buying or selling in this upcoming year.
