The New Year is quickly approaching, and now is a great time to look forward to what 2017 has in store for you, your business and the housing market. With that in mind, today we launched the 2017 Market Outlook Report, predicting New England’s continued housing market strength, driven by low interest rates, demand from first-time buyers and a sustained preference for affordable homes close to cities.
First-time buyers and millennials represent a dominating force across New England, as they are rapidly purchasing single-family homes and condos in proximity to cities. Boston, MA, Providence, RI, Portland, ME, Burlington, VT, Hartford, CT and Portsmouth, NH are predicted to see increases in average residential sales price in 2017, illustrating the buyer power of this demographic.
The 2017 Market Outlook Report is launched as an interactive, mobile friendly microsite with state-by-state snapshots. The market data and shareable graphics included in the report are available for download via the microsite, and the Key Takeaway graphics, including those you see below, can be shared directly from the microsite by hovering over the image and selecting your preferred social channel.
