Good news buyers! People aren’t buying right now because of high prices and interest rates. That’s the perfect time for you to get in on these homes you still can’t afford!

Guys she meant *rich* buyers are getting the upper hand over *desperate* sellers. This is the WSJ, a conservative publication.

These interest rates are historically typical. 2-3% was very low. Don’t expect anything less that 5% for a very long time.

Nah. A $250k+ house at a 7% interest rate is still too expensive

While this may be the case in some places, the same can’t be said for certain markets. In Pittsburgh for example, I’ve put offers on two houses in the $250k range in the past month and both had 10+ competing offers

Maybe in another 20 years they’ll be affordable again.

7% isn't the problem, it's the insane prices!

Kyle Slocum :
In the 1950s the price of a home was the equivalent of 2 years of the average wage. Today it’s 6.5 years of the average wage + fees. Buyers do not have an upper hand. They are saying this because they want you to believe it is a good time to buy.
