Rising mortgage rates could have a big impact on the direction you choose when shopping for real estate, economists warn. “Every time the interest rates go up, you eliminate a group of people who can no longer afford to buy a house,” Don Frommeyer, a mortgage broker at Marine Bank in Indianapolis said, “Some people may have to rent for a period of time until they make more money—or buy a smaller house.”
​
To avoid further complications in their plans, you may want to speed up the home search this spring, as interest rates are forecasted to move higher in the coming months. Forty-four percent of home buyers say rate increases likely will force them to settle for a smaller, less expensive home that requires a longer commute to their jobs. First time buyers may be the most affected by the cost, as increasing home prices and interest rates price some out of the market.
