What are your predictions for the RE market? 6.5% interest rates

Hi guys,

There was a great topic on the real estate predictions. I cant find it.

What do you think will happen with the real estate prices? Now the interest rates are 6.5% I see some prices are dropped may be 15K but still there is a very low inventory...In my area we have 3 houses for sale under 420K which is suuuper low. At a normal market I would expect about 20-30 houses for sale in that area 

So, I because of that low inventory cant imagine prices dropping too much.

What do you think?

As rates increase, buying power goes down. I'm seeing more houses on the market, price reductions across the country, fewer new mortgages, etc. There are a lot of buyers that have been priced out of the market.

I predict we'll continue to see inventory grow and prices go down. I don't know if we'll see huge drops, but 10% or more seems reasonable. With fewer people buying, rentals will be in demand and we'll see rent rates increase.
