Which seems to affect the housing market inflation particularly, no?
Yes....Higher rates equal higher monthly mortgage payments. The higher rates may put some houses out of reach for some people. People who have variable mortgage rates will be affected also with higher monthly mortgage rate which is based on the current prime lending rate.
So yes, anytime interests rates go up it has a negative effect on home sales. The sellers will have to adjust their sale prices to attract buyers or their houses will sit empty and eventually they (the builders) will have to start paying the interests on the construction loans.
