2024 Beverly, MA Housing Market Outlook

Typically, the beginning of the year favors sellers due to limited inventory and robust buyer demand. This combination often sparks bidding wars, pushing sale prices upward. As the year progresses, more buyers find homes or renew leases, while a growing number of homeowners list their properties, especially those undergoing life changes. Consequently, the latter half of the year tends to lean towards buyers with increased supply and decreased demand. To attract motivated buyers, sellers might need to adjust asking prices. With mortgage rates holding steady in the high 6% – low 7% range and escalating property values, buyers must stay vigilant and prepared to seize opportunities, particularly if interest rates unexpectedly decline.
