DC-area homebuyers still hold the upper hand despite high mortgage rates
Original: Despite skyrocketing rates, real estate agent says DC-area homebuyers still have ‘upper hand’
A Washington-area real estate agent says homebuyers in the DC region retain the advantage even as mortgage rates climb sharply. The argument is that buyers, rather than sellers, are calling the terms in the current market, giving them more room to negotiate. It offers a counterpoint to widespread concern that rising rates are shutting people out of the housing market.
Why now: Mortgage rates are surging, making housing affordability a hot topic for buyers and sellers.
