Why the model sees it this way

Sialim's model forecasts the typical Bedford home value will fall 0.7% in July 2026, from $212,059 to about $210,655. The 80% confidence range runs from $209,892 to $211,321.

Prices have been slipping, down an average of 0.47% per month over the past three months, and the market is up 4.8% from a year ago.

The 30-year mortgage rate sits near 6.5% (elevated for affordability); for-sale inventory is about even with a year ago (+4%); national unemployment is 4.2%. These conditions feed into this metro's forecast, since the macro-augmented model beat the price-only model in backtesting here.

Over the most recent six-month test window, this model's predictions for Bedford were off by 1.1% on average. Smaller is better; anything under 1% is strong for monthly home values.
