Deep dives
Current Housing Market Dynamics
The housing market is characterized by historically constrained affordability, significantly impacting both supply and demand. While demand for existing homes remains soft due to high mortgage rates and elevated home prices, a substantial number of homeowners are locked into lower mortgage rates, creating resistance to moving. This scenario, often referred to as the 'golden handcuff' or 'rate lock-in effect,' continues to suppress existing home sales. Despite slight increases in home inventory levels, prices are expected to remain elevated until the market normalizes.
