2024 Auburn, MA Housing Market Outlook
Traditionally, the first half of the year is a seller’s market as there are fewer listings and a high buyer demand. These factors lead to bidding wars which ultimately drive sale prices up. However, as the year goes on, more and more buyers either find a property or they decide to renew their leases. Additionally, more and more want-to-be sellers begin to list their homes, especially those who are going through lifestyle changes. As such, the latter half of the year typically caters more towards buyers as there are more listings on the market, but fewer buyers. Keeping this in mind, sellers may have to adjust prices to attract more motivated buyers. With mortgage rates steadily in the high 6% – low 7% range, and prices continuing to increase, buyers need to stay prepared and informed so that they can be ready to strike at opportunities, especially if there is an unexpected drop in rates.
