Interest Rates are Not Slowing Down Buyers in NC – Predictions were that rising mortgage interest rates would slow down buyers in 2023. Interest rates have actually fallen over the last few weeks of March, and as of mid-April, rates are between 5% & 6%. Most buyers in the Cary and Durham, NC, area are seeing listings sell very quickly and are encountering multiple offer scenarios. This is happening at all price points. Personally, I’ve had clients encounter this at $400,000, $550,000, and $800,000, including over the holiday Easter weekend.
Interest Rates are Not Slowing Down Buyers in NC – Why is this happening, you ask?
Two things – Buyers do not want to pay rent, and they don’t want to move twice. So they are willing to pay for a house that is in good condition or buy a house that needs work if it is priced appropriately. The increasing rates have only affected buyers in terms of how much house they qualify for, not whether they are buying sooner versus later.
