The housing market is unique in that interest rates did absolutely nothing to housing prices. But it was entirely expected. When you couple low supply with people who have 2-3% interest rates, you create an absolutely massive shortage on the supply side. Why would a current home owner EVER sell their house right now? Not only are the prices outrageous, but you’ll be paying 7% interest. Even if you have to sell, you’re better off renting and picketing the difference. It’s madness.
