Eh, the demand shifted to more rural areas with the remote work shift, so nation wide the trend didn’t change much.

Changes in interest rates will be quite visible there, unless millions of people get ‘snapped’ and their houses remain intact anyway.

That graph doesn’t really prove anything, though, because interest rates and housing prices are already correlated through economic growth: fed raises rates when economies are hot, and lowers them when they’re not. Also house prices go up when economies are hot, and don’t as much when they’re not.

The most recent lull in prices correlated with a lull in rates, which kind of goes against your overall point of higher rates pushing prices down because the cost of capital increases? But maybe I’m misunderstanding your point.

I addressed it in a parallel thread - there is lag and the overall markets are pretty illiquid in real estate which makes it worse.
