After a year of rising mortgage rates and shortages in both supply and demand, the best option for prospective homebuyers and homeowners is to bide their time, says Wharton’s Susan Wachter.
Housing sales are falling in response to rising interest rates, but the real estate market is not in a recession, according to Wharton’s Fernando Ferreira. He explains why the persistent lack of supply will continue to put pressure on homebuyers.
