Rates May Rise in July. Here’s What That Means for You.

There’s a big shift happening right now in the Massachusetts real estate market—and it’s being driven by something simple: fear of higher interest rates.

Economists and Fed watchers are now forecasting a potential rate hike this July. That’s all the motivation many buyers need to speed up their timelines.

Here’s what we’re seeing:

• Buyers are locking rates now and pushing for quick closes

• Open houses are busier, especially in suburban markets like Weymouth, Norwood, and Braintree

• Homes priced right are getting multiple offers in the first weekend

If you’ve been thinking of selling, this moment offers something unique: strong demand combined with short-term urgency.

June may be your window to sell before buyers get rate fatigue or pull back once borrowing gets more expensive.

Would it make sense to talk about your timing now—before this window closes?

Let’s have a quick strategy call and review what’s possible.
