Since I am in the new home building side of things, some big things that aren't interest rate dependent. First is that the average size home is now around 2400 sq ft, and it's larger than that in some markets (mine). There just aren't any 1000-1400 sq ft homes being built. 2. Lot and utility prices at through the roof. 3. In many, maybe most markets, that homeowner is competing with private equity firms that either have capital or can get a better rate than the prospective homeowner. That one is really becoming an issue in some locations and it amazes me that it isn't more of a political issue today. 5. Home Prices to Income ratio is horrible and getting worse.
