The Rate Trap: Why Cheaper Mortgages Mean Pricier Homes
Monday, 29 June, 2026

Most people are waiting for mortgage rates to drop so homes get cheaper. The data says the opposite: when rates fall, prices rise.This episode walks through the historically inverse relationship between rates and home prices, why 2020 and 2021 were a rare exception when both moved up together, and what today's stable mid-6% rates and tight inventory mean if you're trying to time your next move. I also explain why the 2.65% rates of 2021 aren't a realistic baseline to wait on.Practical, no hype, built to help you decide with trends instead of guesses.Max Willett, The Dow Group at Keller Williams.
