If prices didn’t go down when interest rates rose. Why should I believe they’ll go up when they go down again?
And if house prices do go up. That will trigger the fed into raising rates again

Also have to take into context what market you are speaking about. Places like Texas (Austin / dallas / Houston) where professionals are constantly moving are not going to dip as much because there is constant stream of professionals and people moving from places like CA or NY where prices are much much more expensive
Cheaper costs of borrowing (lower interest rates) allow buyers more purchasing power given lower monthly payment costs for a mortgage. Larger buyer pool leads to more competition on existing inventory and higher home prices.
No PWC1 ain’t wrong. See prices did drop slightly, mainly due to high interest rates and folks priced out, drying up the buyers. However they have started to rise though interest rates are still high with anticipation they will drop in 2024 and beyond. Inventory levels are really low helping the prices to stay up or hold. In my area good houses in good school districts are still going over asking or at asking price in 2-5 days of listing despite high interest rates. So there’s no easy answer to it. It’s simple if u can afford the mortgage whatever be the prices/rate folks are still going for it. Will market crash, will prices go up from here. Who knows, time will tell.
I teach econ on the side and this is a basic supply and demand issue, there is low supply for entry level homes and low demand for move up homes. This causes prices to increase on the low end and drop on the move up end. Until they re-establish what an entry level home is, this market will be moving higher due to low inventory. It just depends where you are in the process - entry level, move up, or luxury.
