Deep dives
The Impact of Interest Rates on Home Prices
The podcast explores the phenomenon of high interest rates and rising home prices. Despite interest rates doubling, home prices have remained high. This is attributed to the lock-in effect where homeowners with low mortgage rates are reluctant to move and give up their favorable rates. Additionally, the lack of new supply and inventory further contributes to the high prices. In some regions, builders are thriving due to the lock-in effect and are able to set their own terms when selling properties.
