Let’s look at affordability!

Let’s look at interest rates:
They have gone up almost 1% from all time lows just 3 months ago. Hovering just below 5% for a 30 year, and predictions they will be at 5.6% later in the year.
Every 1% hike in rates is like adding 10% to the price of a home.
How long before we get to a historical average of 8.9% It is
likely, due to increased activity, prices will go up soon, and higher interest
rates will make buying a home less affordable. I ask you: Can you
