There is a shortage or re-sale homes just about everywhere and unless they are trying to get way above market price they are selling very fast, The interest rates are holding back sellers, not buyers. For 30 years,1970 to 2000, 7% was a good rate to have on a 30 year mortgage, well below the average for that period, 3% was a temporary situation and most likely will never be back.
