2024 Dalton, MA Housing Market Outlook

The early part of the year is typically a seller’s market due to limited housing supply and intense buyer competition. This imbalance often drives up home prices through bidding wars. As the year advances, more buyers find homes or renew leases, while a growing number of homeowners list their properties, especially those experiencing life changes. This shift tends to create a more favorable market for buyers in the latter half of the year with increased inventory and reduced competition. To attract buyers in this shifting market, sellers may need to adjust their pricing. With mortgage rates holding steady between high 6%s and low 7%s and home values continuing to rise, buyers must remain informed and prepared to take advantage of opportunities, especially if interest rates unexpectedly fall.
