Real estate agent confidence slides as mortgage rates bite

Original: Real estate agent confidence slides as mortgage rates take their toll

Confidence among real estate agents is declining as elevated mortgage rates weigh on the housing market. Higher borrowing costs are making it harder for buyers to afford homes, cooling transactions and leaving agents increasingly pessimistic about their business outlook. Industry observers say the slowdown reflects the direct impact of rate levels on buyer demand and housing affordability across the market.

Why now: Mortgage rates remain high, squeezing housing activity and agent sentiment.
