Zillow is optimistic that we will see more homes being listed for sale:

That will come as welcome news to home shoppers enmeshed in bidding wars and watching homes get plucked off the market weeks faster than usual.

Despite the current situation, some buyers and sellers are still entering the Boston condo real estate market. Although a decrease in sales and inventory is to be expected, it’s still possible to get a great deal on a Beacon Hill condo or a Seaport condo.
