2022 Outlook

Similar to the Massachusetts real estate market as a whole, the Waltham market is cooling down and heading back towards pre-pandemic levels. Lowered sales in the area can be attributed mostly to increased mortgage rates which have lowered buyer affordability, therefore, slowing the frenzied nature of the market we have seen previously. As a result, this cooling market will yield more inventory, a definite plus in the buyer’s favor, but there still is not enough supply yet to majorly impact prices, but it will slow their incline.
