Home Buyer Blues in Massachusetts: Sales Plummet to 12 year low While Prices Hit Record Highs

January 17, 2024 by admin Leave a Comment

2023 brought a double whammy to the Massachusetts housing market: a 22.4% plunge in single-family home sales and a record-breaking surge in median sale prices.

Some Key Data Points:

  • Single-family home sales: Lowest since 2011, down 22.4% from 2022.
  • Median single-family home price: Up 3.6% from 2022 to $570,000.
  • Condo sales: Lowest since 2012, down 18.7% from 2022.
  • Median condo price: Up 4.4% from 2022 to $510,000.
  • “Limited inventory and high interest rates are the driving force behind this trend,” said Cassidy Norton, of The Warren Group.
  • “As demand outpaces supply, home prices continue to climb, making it increasingly difficult for many to enter the housing market.”
  • “The condo market followed similar trends, with buyers willing to pay a premium for convenience and lifestyle.”

Greater Boston:

  • Single-family home sales down 23.8%, year-end median price up 2.9%.
  • Condo sales down 18.2%, year-end median price up 3.3%.

What’s Next?:

  • Market watchers are unsure if the trend will continue in 2024.
  • Affordability remains a major concern for potential buyers.
