2024 Fall River, MA Housing Market Outlook

The first half of the year is traditionally characterized as a seller’s market with limited housing supply and strong buyer competition. This imbalance often leads to bidding wars and upward pressure on home prices. As the year unfolds, more buyers find homes or renew leases, while a growing number of homeowners put their properties on the market, particularly those undergoing lifestyle changes. Consequently, the latter part of the year tends to favor buyers with increased housing inventory and reduced competition. Sellers may need to adjust their pricing strategies to attract motivated buyers in this shifting market. Given the ever-evolving mortgage rate environment and continued rise in home values, buyers must stay informed and prepared to seize opportunities, especially if interest rates unexpectedly decline.
