The US housing market is undergoing a major shift , and affordability continues to be an obstacle for buyers and sellers . Mortgage rates have doubled since March , and home prices remain elevated due to a limited supply of homes , although price gains are slowing at a quickening pace . As a result , many homeowners are waiting until market conditions improve to sell their home , while other sellers are increasingly cutting prices and offering concessions to attract a greater number of buyers .
