Default When Fed lowers rates... house prices increase?
If the Federal Reserve finally lowers (and continues to lower) interest rates in September, I think house prices may increase. If buyer's monthly financing costs are lower they qualify to buy at a higher price.

Another part of my argument is that money market rates will continue to sink, causing some to want to invest in real estate instead, hoping or renting, for a better return.

The other side of this argument is Villages house prices will remain the same because many buy Villages homes with cash, no financing, and they won't care.
