High mortgage rates leave home sellers stranded as demand falls

Original: High mortgage rates strand home sellers as buyer demand plummets

Elevated mortgage rates are leaving home sellers stuck with unsold properties as buyer demand drops sharply across the US housing market. With borrowing costs near multi-decade highs, fewer Americans can afford to buy, and sellers who locked in cheaper rates are reluctant to reduce prices or move.

Why now: Mortgage rates remain near multi-decade highs, making the housing slowdown a pressing concern for buyers and sellers.
