I bought my first house at 11%
Then bought my next one at @ 10%
Housing prices have slowed and even reversed some
Interest rates are still historically low
Great news for people buying their first home
I bought my first house at 11%
Then bought my next one at @ 10%
Clearly the markets do not think that inflation is a long term problem. I can still get a 30 year fixed rate mortgage at much less than 5%. If I have an interest rate of 4.2%, and inflation is at 9%, that is a huge discount on buying a home. Basically, I am getting the house at half the purchase price (adjusted for inflation) even considering the interest.
If you believe that interest rates are going to stay high, or go higher, then borrow as much as you can at these low interest rates.

Interest rates are low compared to the 80's, but twice as high as when the Fed was pushing housing.
Houses are still higher than they should be, but coming down when compared to the bubble caused by the trump virus.
And of course this is regional. NYC residents fled the city in droves, buying up every available home north of the city. It inflated prices, and created housing shortages.
That has calmed now that NYC doesn't look like a post nuclear mess.
Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

You can still buy a house and rent it for more than your payment in lots of locations
When I bought my second home I rented my first for one for hundred under my payment
What a great investment that 100 dollars a month was
That house is where I live now
It’s worth over fives times what I paid for it
I now rent my second home for well over for the payment
I could get more too
I’m just to nice to raise the rent that high on my existing renter
