Higher mortgage rates mean monthly payments are tougher to justify, so many buyers are pressing pause on their home search. We\u2019re seeing this play out with fewer pending sales: folks are out looking, but fewer are making offers. On the other hand, homeowners who locked in a lower rate are understandably reluctant to give up those affordable payments, so many are choosing not to list at all.
