2. Yeah, classically, the housing market is the place where Fed policy has an impact. Itβs the place where you borrow the most money as a consumer. Builders borrow money to build. Everything about the housing market is driven by interest rates. And so interest rates went up, and the housing market ground to a halt.

4. Now what normally you would expect to happen is that prices would fall.
But hereβs the thing. The sellers of those homes are all sitting there with their 3 percent mortgages also. And theyβre like, you know what? Never mind giving up our nice, cheap, mortgage, and moving to somewhere else where weβre going to have to borrow money at 6 percent. So they donβt sell.

5. Exactly. So instead, what happens? Transactions go down. Nobody buys. Nobody sells. Nobody builds. The total number of single-family home sales is down by more than a third over the past year.

6. Yeah, so is it a precursor? Yes, almost certainly. Most forecasters expect home prices to start to fall. And they have started to fall. But itβs going to take time. And itβs probably not, according, again, to most forecasters, going to be a huge decline, which is good news. If youβre a homeowner, you donβt want to see the value of your home collapse.
