Rising Mortgage Rates and Record Prices Freeze Home Buyers
Original: Rising Mortgage Rates and Record Prices Leave Home Buyers Out of Moves
Home buyers across the US are staying put as mortgage rates climb and home prices hit record highs, according to the Wall Street Journal. The combination leaves would-be buyers unable to afford purchases, while existing owners with low locked-in rates are discouraged from selling and moving. The result is a housing market where transactions are drying up and mobility is falling.
Why now: Mortgage rates and home prices are hitting levels that are locking buyers and sellers out of the housing market.
