I thought this market was going down now due to rates. Not sure where it is.

Values are going down now, from the peak a couple months back, sure. Rates have dipped back below 7%.

From CNBC:

Home prices fell in September on a month-to-month basis for the third month in a row, though the decline wasn’t as steep as in July and August. While prices usually drop from summer to fall due to the seasonal slowdown, they fell much more sharply than usual in 2022.
Prices are now down 2.6% since the end of June, which is the first three-month drop since late 2018 and the steepest such drop since the financial crisis of early 2009.

Interesting. I’m thinking maybe a 5 to 10 per cent drop is possible but I’m buying long term so prob ok. Still if rates go way down prices may reverse.
