Higher rates mean more stable or possibly even lower house prices. This is good for cash buyers, at least.

For those of us here, that’s probably well within reason in most of the country where you can buy a house for <$600k

Sure the price of the houses has gone down, but higher interest rates mean my monthlies are higher than they were, which means I can't afford a house!
