Interest rate conditions are a material constraint: property rate comparison shows current 30-year fixed mortgage rates are approximately 6.3% compared to the 5.9% average seen in February 2026, and interest rate pressure is elevated; this elevated pressure may soften buyer purchasing power despite a hot market temperature.
