Mortgage Rates Rose—Why Didn’t Home Prices Crash?

Since 2022, many predicted a housing crash — so why hasn't it happened with mortgage rates near 7.5%? Dan compares today's market to 2008 (1.62 million existing homes for sale vs. 4.6 million then, 4.9 months of supply vs. 11.2), explains why owners with low rates aren't selling, and shows how oil-driven inflation pushed rates from 5.99% in February to about 7.5% today. Plus: today's bond market, the latest services and manufacturing data, and what the Fed is likely to do at its next meeting.
