Corcoran: Home Prices Could Go Through the Roof If Interest Rates Keep Dropping
-
Barbara Corcoran said housing prices "will go through the roof" if interest rates drop another percentage point, as there are many buyers waiting on the sidelines.
-
Mortgage interest rates are currently around 7% for a 30-year fixed and 6.125% for a 15-year fixed.
-
The Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged in its latest meeting but may still cut 3 times this year.
-
Corcoran warned buyers not to wait for lower rates, as home prices could rise another 8-10% if rates drop due to increased demand.
-
She argued home prices will keep rising despite higher selling costs due to ongoing housing shortages overriding other economic uncertainties.
