Mortgage rates holding near 7.3% are pricing out buyers across regional markets, forcing sellers to cut asking prices as affordability deteriorates. The transmission runs direct: elevated rates suppress housing demand, which depresses valuations in pockets where inventory sits. Fed policy tightness flows through bond yields into mortgage costs and ultimately into lower home prices where supply exceeds weakened demand.
