Young families are in starter homes with a 2% mortgage. They cant afford a bigger home with a 6.8% mortgage, which means the retires from up north can’t sell their homes to buy in The Villages.
Once rates come down 100 or 150 basis points, probably between July and September, the settlement agencies will be running 24x7.
