As homebuyers adjust to a higher mortgage rate environment, the U.S. On average of all cities, within the past year, inflation-adjusted home prices have seen the sharpest drop since the global financial crisis in 2008. However, the abrupt end of the low interest rate environment has shaken the house of cards. Low financing costs have been the lifeblood of global housing markets over the past decade, driving home prices to dizzying heights.
