Spring arrived with a sense of renewed energy and sophistication. This past month has been rewarding - together with our persistence and focused goals, I helped my clients go under contract and secure their dream home. And - connected with several new clients preparing to sell. I am honored to advise my clients, with supporting market data, as they navigate a competitive market paired with their personal timing needs and goals during their buying and selling adventure. 

 

Growing my business has been an incredible journey. I am continually reminded that the greatest compliment I can receive is a referral from a friend. Thank you for your trust and support. Reach out for a consultation: E-mail me here or call. I welcome warm conversation together!

Mortgage rates are a never ending topic of discussion sticking between 6.5%-7.25% for now and likely not moving this spring. Some volatility is expected with present economic changes.

 

Homebuyer demand is experiencing a notable surge, particularly driven by the younger segment of the millennial generation. This cohort equaling 72-73MM people is entering the housing market in increasing numbers, reflecting a significant demographic shift in real estate dynamics. The millennial generation is currently the largest living adult generation in the United States. Younger millennials have seen their share of first-time homebuyers rise from 70% to 75% over the past year. This trend underscores their growing influence in the housing market. (see chart)

 

It's still a sellers market in most of MA, due to this high demand and not enough supply. Which is also why home prices aren't predicted to go down, in fact "experts project steady appreciation of 3–4% per year over the next 5 years." It's a complex market with several variables affecting change. Need more answers? Reach out to me today.
