The economic landscape is shifting, affecting everything from job creation to interest rates, and it’s having a significant impact on the real estate market in Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire. With interest rates on the rise, tenants are opting to stay in apartments, driving up rents due to limited housing options. Meanwhile, the housing market remains competitive with low inventory, leading to price increases. In Middlesex County, Massachusetts, we’re seeing fewer listings but a nearly 7% increase in prices. Whether you’re a renter or a seller, understanding these October market trends is vital.
