At first glance, it might seem intuitive that rising interest rates will have a negative effect on the housing market. However, with a little more thought, the opposite is more likely to be true. Interest rates rising today and for the next several months is probably good for the housing market. Specifically for home buyers and real estate agents in need of more inventory on the market and at more stable prices. Is the Federal Reserve the answer?

In his remarks to reporters on June 13, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said…

“Obviously, we are watching that quite carefully [prices and mortgage rates]. … It’s a very tight market. … So, it’s a complicated situation and we watch it very carefully. … We need to get back to a place where supply and demand are back together and where inflation is down low again, and mortgage rates are low again.”

Realistic Mortgage Rates Return

Historically low interest rates for the past couple of years have enabled housing prices to soar at an astonishing rate. Desperate buyers bid up prices to unaffordable levels in a race to get a purchase locked in before prices went even higher. At the same time, potential sellers delayed listing houses on the market in hopes that prices would go higher. That is all ending now with higher and still rising interest rates, which when combined with peak prices have drawn an unaffordability line in the sand that many potential buyers cannot cross.

That means fewer buyers in the market – which also means lower demand. At the same time, prices are close to the peak in this market cycle. For sellers that want top dollar, now is the time to sell. That means more inventory is entering the market. With rising interest rates, we can expect supply and demand to move towards a more balanced market.
