I don't expect prices to drop much because they are based on the assumption that interest rates will drop and new homeowners can refinance later. We see that with the inverted Treasury yield curve where long term interest rates are projected to be lower than today's rates. Also, with current homeowners locked into their low rates, there will be a shortage of houses on the market (you can't take your low mortgage rate to a new house). So the people buying now will be buyers that absolutely need to and/or buyers with lots of cash that expect to refinance later. The only people selling now are people that absolutely need to.
