Why mortgage rates drop won't help housing market

Not even falling mortgage rates are good news for homebuyers these days.

The article from Newsweek explains that despite a recent drop in mortgage rates to 6.13% as of February 23, 2023, the housing market is unlikely to see significant improvement. This is primarily due to persistent high home prices and a low inventory of homes for sale, which continue to hinder affordability. The drop in rates from a peak of 7.08% in November 2022 offers some relief, but it is not substantial enough to counteract the broader market challenges. Additionally, the article notes that many homeowners are reluctant to sell their homes due to the fear of losing their existing low mortgage rates, further exacerbating the inventory shortage. Overall, the slight decrease in mortgage rates is insufficient to stimulate a robust recovery in the housing market.
