I don't see prices going down anytime soon. There isn't enough supply and wages haven't kept pace with prices.

I don't know why people say this. Prices are going down. I was looking at a used truck, prices in my search results have floored from about $32K to $27K

The prices for houses in my searches have also dropped

Those housing prices are only dropping in certain areas not nationwide. Way more apartments are being built than single family homes. You still have Corporations buying up single family homes for rent.

Car prices are dropping because of oversupply. And nobody wants to pay 60K for a freaking Truck or SUV. Because auto manufacturers refuse to build anything else.

Mortgage rates aren't coming down because they know that trumps economic policies, tax cuts and tarrifs, will be inflationary. Have to keep the rates higher for longer to counteract that to keep inflation under control.

This normally would result in housing prices coming down, but this housing market is not normal. Inventory is still low since people who are locked into 2-4% interest rates would be stupid to sell. So the market is at a stall mate keeping prices AND mortgage rates high...for now.
