2023 Outlook
As we wrap up 2022 and look towards the year ahead, the Woburn market is expected to continue to see adjustments towards a cooler, less frenzied market. First, there are significantly fewer buyers in the market than normal attributable to increasing mortgage rates impacting affordability. Also, would-be sellers are stuck in a holding pattern as many do not want to give up their current low-interest mortgages. Because of these aforementioned factors, sales are expected to be down in 2023 compared to 2022. On the other hand, prices are expected to continue to increase, but not in the same aggressive manner that they have been increasing over the last few years. Anthony’s 2023 Predictions provides a detailed analysis of what to expect in next year’s real estate market.
