2023 Outlook
As we look ahead to 2023, the Chelmsford real estate market is expected to follow a similar trajectory as the latter half of 2022 – with a decrease in sales and prices on the rise. There are fewer buyers in the market due to higher mortgage rates cutting into their affordability. This, coupled with sellers remaining hesitant to list their home because they do not want to give up their current low mortgage rate, will result is a slower market than in years past. Prices may continue increasing but not at the same accelerated pace they experienced over 2020 & 2021.
