As The Fed raises rates in their attempt to wrangle inflation, we are seeing an about-face in the US housing market.

The pandemic-related Fed monetary stimulypto begat a housing boom that is careening to a halt as the fastest-rising mortgage rates in at least half a century upend affordability for homebuyers, catching many sellers wrong-footed with prices that are too high. It’s an astonishing turnaround. Just a few months ago, house hunters felt pushed to make offers within days, waive inspections and bid way above asking. Now they can sleep on it and maybe even shop for a better deal. 

It doesn’t mean real estate is heading for a crash on the order of 2008. But when a market reaches these heights, even a drop toward normalcy will feel steep. And of course, a recession could make everything worse. 

Dallas, Phoenix AZ and Las Vegas NV are leading in the price-slashing derby.

Is this the end for the home price bubble?

Or is the music over with The Fed tightening monetary policy to fight inflation.
