The best time to buy is after transitioning from tightening to easing generally.

It's true that price will move inversely to rate (all else equal), but price effect lags the rate change.

If rates stay at 5% or above we can expect prices to likely start to slowly decline in many areas.

It took 5 years for prices to bottom in the 2000s. Housing is a slow moving market
