One thing that people in the housing market need to get prepared for is no bounce back in buyer demand from lower rates.
Mortgage Rates are down to 6.4%. This has only lowered the monthly house payment for buyers to $2,700/month.
In reality we need to get to $2,100-$2,200/month pmt for a real bounce back in buyers.
Getting there will necessitate a 5.5% mortgage rate and a 15% drop in prices.
