Rates have been moving up—that part is obvious.
What’s less obvious is that activity hasn’t disappeared.
I’m seeing more conversations start.
More people exploring buying and selling.
And even homes that had been sitting are starting to move.
The reality is, the market hasn’t stopped—it’s just become more selective.
For some, higher rates are a reason to wait.
For others, it’s created less competition and more room to negotiate.
One person’s hesitation is another person’s opportunity.
