NCrenter,
It is not a black and white as your realtor wants to make it out to be or as a few poster here would have it either. I guess some bears and realtors are not capable or thinking in a circumspect and nuanced manner on this topic. Maybe your realtor hasn’t been exposed the light of reason but the local bears have and still echo the same things they did before, namely that “rates absolutely affect prices across the board, all the time, all circumstances”. I advise you to expand you studies.
I have been coached to have the opinion that rates won’t change much in the next year, for what it is worth.
I certainly would not worry about making a buying decision exclusively on rates. There are so many variables worthy of considering.
