2023 Outlook
The Waltham real estate market is expected to continue to adjust back as we head into 2023. Increased mortgage rates diminished buyer affordability and took many out of the market. Additionally, there are fewer sellers in the market than usual since many are holding off on listing to keep their current low mortgage rates. Overall, this will result in fewer sales in 2023. Regarding prices, they most likely will continue to rise, but not nearly as much or as quickly as they did in 2022 & 2021. Anthony’s 2023 Predictions provides a comprehensive outlook & analysis of what to expect from the real estate market in the coming year.
