☆ House prices won't fall – and could soar 15% when mortgage rates drop, says 'Shark Tank' investor Barbara Corcoran
▼ + stars: | 2023-08-24 | by ( Theron Mohamed | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +3 min

Home prices won't drop, and could surge 15% once mortgage rates fall, Barbara Corcoran says. There's a shortage of homes for sale as people don't want to give up their cheap mortgage rates. The housing market is in good shape, and buyers will pounce once rates drop, Corcoran says. In response to a massive inflation spike last year, the Federal Reserve has raised interest rates from almost zero to more than 5% since last spring. In June, she suggested home prices could jump as much as 20% once interest rates drop by two percentage points.

For Barbara Corcoran, real estate expert and star of ABC's "Shark Tank," success is no longer about money. But the very first time Corcoran felt successful was the day she first made a profit. Rather than buy something for herself, Corcoran says she immediately spent the money on two people most important to her: her parents. Corcoran used a $1,000 loan to start her real estate business, the Corcoran Group, in 1973. But despite her continued success on "Shark Tank" and beyond — and her ability to continue buying gifts for others throughout her career — Corcoran says that day remains unparalleled.

☆ US house prices may slide as their recent strength and steeper mortgage rates hit demand, Wharton professor Jeremy Siegel says
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-06 | by ( Theron Mohamed | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +3 min

Home prices may fall as recent gains and higher borrowing costs restrain demand, Jeremy Siegel says. "The higher interest rates and 40% increase in home prices more than doubled the cost of homes for buyers," the retired Wharton finance professor said in his weekly commentary for WisdomTree on Monday. "Mortgage rates had ticked down to 6% a few months ago before rising back above 7% now — so perhaps we see some renewed softness in housing prices," Siegel added. Higher interest rates translate into larger monthly mortgage payments, which mean banks are willing to lend significantly less money to homeowners today than they were a few years ago. "Shark Tank" investor Barbara Corcoran has argued there's a load of pent-up demand, and called for home prices to surge 20% once interest rates fall by two percentage points.
