Rising Mortgage Rates Squeeze Homebuyers
Original: mortgage
Mortgage rates continue to climb, reshaping the US housing market. A DC-area real estate agent argues homebuyers still hold the 'upper hand' despite skyrocketing rates, citing increased negotiating power as competition cools. Elsewhere, reports highlight how rising interest rates are broadly slowing real estate activity, with higher borrowing costs pricing out buyers and dampening demand.
Why now: Mortgage rates are rising sharply, making housing affordability a pressing concern for buyers and sellers.
