Higher interest rates does not only apply to mortgage rates. A potential cash buyer has an option. Invest the $500,000 and receive income or use the $500,000 to buy the new home. Many of my younger friends are choosing to invest rather than buy. They use their income to go on trips and to splurge on luxury items.
