My thoughts on the Back Bay condo for sale market
From first glance, it would appear that the sudden rise in mortgage interest rates may be having in impact on the Back Bay condo sales market, as sales price and price per sq. ft. has come down. Yet, we need more months of data to obtain a clearer picture.
National Housing Market
Buyers get their first break from the rush for homes as time on market rises
In August, national time on market increased year-over-year for the first time in 26 months, and also grew in the vast majority of large metros. These trends reflect a housing market that is getting a refresh from the past two-plus years of frenzied buyer demand that outmatched supply, with inventory rising and more typical seasonality expected to return in the fall. It’s a long road to balance, with homes still selling more quickly than prior to COVID. However, relative to the market’s recent peak, August’s milestone shift in time on market trends is a step toward offering buyers relief from the relentless rush for homes.
Home price growth continues to moderate, but affordability remains a challenge
National listing prices continued to grow by double-digits year-over-year in August, but the pace decelerated for the third month in a row. Until recently, asking prices kept accelerating due to the combination of still-high seller expectations and a shift in the mix of inventory to include more larger homes. However, data indicates that these trends are changing course, with listing prices per square foot also moderating. Even so, prices remain historically high and continue to rise more quickly than usual, which means affordability is still a challenge for buyers and that many homeowners are sitting on record-high levels of equity.
