Is a Correction in Home Prices on the Horizon?
Buyers have been facing the painful one-two punch of high mortgage rates and rising home prices all year. However, there are indications that the housing market may start to thaw, with mortgage rates dropping slightly and economists predicting a decline in home prices. The unaffordability of homes is a leading factor that could potentially drive prices down, as many people struggle to afford to buy. While a correction in home prices may provide some relief, it alone will not solve the issue of housing affordability.
