The Lock-in Effect
The lock-in effect refers to homeowners choosing to stay in their homes due to rising mortgage rates, as they have a low interest rate locked in. This phenomen reduces housing supply. The impact of the lock-in effect on buying a home is limited inventory and higher prices, which may make it difficult for homebuyers to find suitable housing. With a rate pause signalled in Canada it will be interesting to see if more home owners choose to list their homes this spring.
