Real estate agent confidence falls as mortgage rates bite
Original: Real estate agent confidence slides as mortgage rates take their toll
Confidence among real estate agents is sliding as elevated mortgage rates weigh on housing activity. Higher borrowing costs are making it harder for buyers to afford homes, slowing transactions and dampening agents' outlook for the market. Industry observers say the mood among agents reflects growing concerns that affordability pressures could persist if rates stay high for longer.
Why now: Mortgage rates remain elevated, squeezing housing affordability and shaking agent sentiment.
