Impact of High Interest Rates and Prices on Housing Market

The housing market has experienced a significant slowdown with the number of homes sold dropping at the fastest pace since November 2022. This decline, coupled with a 4.3% drop in overall sales from February to March, reflects a growing pessimism among builders. The recent increase in mortgage rates, rising over seven percent on average nationally, has further exacerbated the situation, leading to the highest median sale price of over $390,000, negatively impacting housing affordability.
