Despite higher mortgage rates and increased inventory, home prices have remained stable over the past two months. This surprising trend can be attributed to several key factors:
– Strong demand: There continues to be a high level of demand for homes, fueled by factors such as low unemployment rates, wage growth, and overall economic stability.
– Limited supply: Inventory levels remain low in many markets, leading to increased competition among buyers and pricing pressure.
– Market psychology: Homebuyers may be reluctant to delay purchases due to fears of missing out on historically low interest rates, driving up demand even in the face of higher rates.
Overall, the resilience of home prices in the face of changing market conditions highlights the complex interplay of supply, demand, and consumer behavior in the real estate market.
