Expect a steep drop.
Leverage is much more expensive (from sub 3% mortgages, we already have 5%+ rates), which means buyers can afford less, plus significant withdrawal of “cash” buyers from the market who were really just borrowing against their (now much smaller) equity positions.
I wouldn’t want to be in a forced sale position anytime soon.
