2024 Falmouth, MA Housing Market Outlook

At the beginning of the year, there are typically fewer homes on the market while buyers are out in droves. This low inventory, high demand scenario often fuels bidding wars and puts upward pressure on home prices. However, as the year progresses, more buyers find homes or renew leases, while a growing number of homeowners put their homes on the market, especially those experiencing life changes. This shift typically creates a more buyer-friendly market in the latter half of the year with increased housing options and a lessening of competition. With this in mind, sellers may need to adjust their pricing strategies to appeal to buyers in this changing market. With mortgage rates hovering in the high 6% to low 7% range and property values on the rise, buyers must stay informed and ready to capitalize on opportunities, especially if interest rates unexpectedly decrease.
