Anytime inflation rate jump over 5% in the last 60 years, recession followed. Happened in 1974, 1990 & 2008. This time will be even worst with balance sheet tightening. Even with the highest household income in Silicon Valley, home prices dropped 5-10% beginning of 2019 after 7 rates hikes in 2017-2018. Don?t be surprised 30 yrs fixed mortgage rates jump to 6% by the end of 2022.
New home sales were down due to supply not due to demand, all of my new home buyers homes have had their closing dates delayed by 1-2 months (including my dad's Sierra home). Also, about 1/3 of all Irvine homes are paid for in cash so those buyers don't care where rates are.
I see it on MLS.
