2022 Outlook

The real estate market in Leominster performed similarly to that of Massachusetts with decreases in sales and increases in prices. This decrease in sales can be attributed to rising mortgage rates which have been impacting buyer affordability over the last couple of months. With fewer buyers in the market, there is less demand, which means competition will lessen and buyers will gain back some leverage compared to the frenzied market they were experiencing in the beginning of the year. This lessening of demand will not translate to ‘cheaper’ housing, however, this cooling market will yield more supply which will start to impact prices as we continue throughout the year.
