US Housing Feels Strain as Rates Sit at 5.3%
Original: The 5.3% Economy: Housing Feels It First, Washington Pays It Last
Commentary on the American economy describes a 5.3% rate environment in which housing is the first sector to absorb the pain while Washington is the last to confront it. The argument is that high borrowing costs are already squeezing homebuyers and the property market, while fiscal policymakers have yet to face the full consequences of the tight-money economy.
Why now: People are debating whether high interest rates are tipping the housing market into a downturn before Washington acknowledges it.
