This Northeast Region Has 3 of the Hottest Housing Markets-but Still Remains 'Affordable'
Briefly

Homebuyers in the Northeast remain undeterred by climbing property prices and tight inventory. The three most expensive New England markets, Manchester-Nashua, Worcester, and Providence-Warwick, saw annual price increases between 3.4% and 6.2%, with median list prices hovering just under $600,000. The inventory recovery in the region is sluggish, with only a 16.5% increase year-over-year, the lowest across the U.S. Hybrid work models are also driving interest in commutable suburbs, resulting in strong demand, competitive bidding, and ongoing price growth.
