I like lower rates - it does help with my "on the fence" buyers. And it can help with those buyers that want a slightly higher priced home than what they were previously qualified for - and now they can swing it.

I think some homeowners are going to need to put their homes on the market to get a flurry of purchases. I do not see that happening at his current time.

Interest rated drop is a good news for the ones who plan to buy a new house recently. But on the other hand, it also would be a signal of the property price increase
