The housing market continues to face headwinds as mortgage rates increase again this week, following the 10-year Treasury yield’s jump to its highest level since 2011.

Inside the Incredibly Shrinking Southern California Starter Home

In a Slowing Housing Market, Sellers Ask: Why List a Home When You Can Collect Rent?
by Nicole Friedman & Will Parker, Mansion Global, 9/19/2022

Instead, they decided to rent out the house. Their monthly payout now covers their ownership costs. If the housing market remains sluggish, they would likely keep the home as a rental once the current two-year lease expires, Mr. Reichert said.

“There’s just not serious buyers out there,” he said.
