Mortgage Rates are stabile in the 4% range. As can be seen in the below graph, we continue to stay in the same side ways price channel we've been in for the last three years.
With supply remaining high, demand light, and interest rates fairly stable, the Median Sale prices will most likely remain relatively flat. When interest rates increase, buyers qualify for lower mortgages and as a result can afford to pay less for a home.
