After pausing their plans due to rising mortgage rates and affordability issues, many buyers are returning as they adjust to the new normal. According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), “Home buyers seem to be getting over the shock of mortgage rates in the mid-to upper-6% range,” which is helping to reignite the market.
