This is your market in a minute for multi-family homes year end 2022 in Fall River MA.
Lack of inventory continues to plague the Fall River multi-family housing market with 2022 seeing a reduction in the number of multi-family home listed for sale by 20% from the previous year further fueling the pricing appreciation.
The average selling price for a multi-family home jumped almost 19% from 2022 to $524,000 with an average price of $157 per square foot.
Fewer listings, coupled with higher interest rates, resulted in the number of closed transactions dropping 26.5%, from 468 in 2021 to 344 in 2022.
Months of supply, although still strongly in the sellers' market jumped 85% to 1.5 months' supply over the previous year.
It's going to be interesting to see how this plays out in 2023 with raising rates and lenders tightening financing coupled with low inventory.
