The sales volume growth has been more restrained and now we see a modest decline," said The Warren Group CEO Timothy M. Warren Jr. "We're seeing the same thing in Massachusetts that the rest of the country is experiencing: a slight slowdown in home sales, driven by increasing interest rates and tight supply."
