Why buying a house feels so painful now — and your parents may not understand
Although 7% mortgage rates were common in the 1970s through the 1990s, today’s housing market is less affordable because home prices are far higher relative to incomes. High rates now push monthly payments beyond what many households can afford, while owners with older, lower-rate mortgages are reluctant to sell, tightening supply and limiting sales. The sharp shift from ultra-low rates to today’s... more

More home sellers are paying to lower your mortgage rate — and the math can beat a price cut

More home sellers are paying to lower your mortgage rate — and the math can beat a price cut
With mortgage rates near a three-year high and home sales slowing, sellers are using price cuts and concessions to attract buyers.
