Higher mortgage rates shift US housing market toward buyers but reduce their purchasing power.

Rising mortgage rates above 7% have slowed home sales and increased inventory, giving buyers more leverage in negotiations but reducing their overall purchasing power. Realtor.com's Q3 market clock shows a shift toward a buyer-favorable market, with fewer seller's markets nationwide and more balanced markets trending toward buyers. Regional differences remain, with the Midwest still favoring sellers, while the South and West see more buyer-friendly conditions. Despite better negotiation power, buyers face challenges due to higher borrowing costs, limiting affordability gains.

Homebuyers in the US face rising mortgage rates above 7%, affecting sales and negotiations.
