☆ Mortgage rate tipping point: Homeowners say roughly 5% is the magic number to move

Higher interest rates created a 'golden handcuff' effectSince it's unlikely rates will drop anytime soon, this has created a so-called golden handcuff effect. Similar to the financial incentives employers may offer to discourage employees from leaving a company, homeowners are now bound by their low mortgage rate. They don't want to move now and give up that low rate to buy at a higher rate. Between 1978 and 1981, mortgage rates similarly doubled from around 9% to more than 18%, compelling more homeowners to hold on to their homes. However, "mortgage rates weren't at record lows in the late 70s before they started to skyrocket in the early 80s, nor did home prices increase as rapidly," Channel said.

☆ Why so many Americans feel trapped in their homes by their low-rate mortgages

Saul Loeb | AFP | Getty ImagesThe recent spike in mortgage rates has created a so-called golden handcuff effect. For homeowners, a low mortgage rate is similar. Nearly 82% of home shoppers said they felt "locked-in" by their existing low-rate mortgage, according to a recent survey by Realtor.com. Between 1978 and 1981, mortgage rates similarly doubled from around 9% to more than 18%, compelling more homeowners to hold on to their homes. Mortgage rates may not return to sub-3% levels again anytime soon — if ever.
