The fed moved their rates a 1/2%, the market has moved rates over 2%. It is a big misconception that fed rates are housing rates. It is part of deal but not the whole deal. People started construction on a new home when long term rates were 2.5% and now are looking at locking in rate when house is completed at over 5%. So 2% on a 400000 house is 8000, just under 700 a month. Big deal.
