I think we can all agree a quarter point won’t really matter for the housing market here. We have record insurance rates and Sumter County taxes are in the upper most quartile for Florida (doesn’t even including city taxes). I’m willing to bet (and have) that the stock market will give much better returns than any investment in real estate. It will take years for prices to come back down to earth.
