Redfin Chief Economist Daryl Fairweather said, “Moving right now is expensive, whether you’re renting or buying. One of the only ways to avoid high housing costs is to move somewhere cheaper, but the list of places that are truly inexpensive is shrinking. Rising mortgage rates are squeezing more Americans out of the for-sale market, which will likely put increasing pressure on rents in the coming months.”
