About this episode
The lock-in effect has kept millions of homeowners stuck in place, unwilling to sell their homes and take on a higher mortgage rate. But is that starting to change? In this episode, we break down the latest data showing that more homeowners are now carrying 6%+ mortgage rates—the highest share since 2016. As the lock-in effect gradually eases, more listings are hitting the market, but are home prices coming down? We’ll explore why people are finally moving, how this shift could impact inventory levels, and what it all means for buyers, sellers, and investors in 2025.
