The second half of 2022 was marked by various factors that contributed to this slowdown in the housing market in Siena. One of the primary factors was the rising interest rates, which made it more difficult for potential homebuyers to secure favorable mortgage rates, leading to a decline in demand. Additionally, the ongoing issue of inflation also affected affordability, making it harder for first-time homebuyers to enter the market. These factors combined with a decrease in inventory of available homes also impacted the market’s performance in the second half of the year.
