Housing demand resilient even with higher mortgage rates
Briefly

Despite an increase in mortgage rates, housing demand shows resilience this holiday season, with pending contracts indicating double-digit growth year-over-year.

The current housing indicators reflect a legitimate growth trend and reveal a firmer bottom, contrasting with historically low levels observed earlier.
