Pointing to the slowing rate of inflation, Richard Haggerty, CEO of OneKey MLS, said, "This may be an early sign that we will begin to see mortgage rates decrease in the next several months. Lower interest rates could be a catalyst that boosts market activity, prompting more sellers to list their homes, especially as price increases have softened."
