@RonDeSantis When interest rates drop housing will seem more affordable, houses will flood the market.

But with more supply comes competitive pricing…

When rates drop I think housing prices will also drop.

We need this correction.

Lower interest rates would generate more home sales, but as the below post points out, it may accelerate a decline in home prices.

The higher rates are inhibiting price discovery and the median home price is way out of whack with median household income.

This is the harsh reality that the housing market hasn’t come to terms with

Everyone thinks rate cuts mean housing to the moon

lol. They still can’t afford the house even if mortgage rates go back to 3%

Once there’s no bid when rates drop the sellers will start to panic 💀
