This signaled a frozen housing market, in which fewer homes were changing hands because of sky-high home prices and mortgage rates that peaked at 8%. The rise in mortgage rates made the housing market “depressed” and “more unaffordable,” Gary Shilling, an economist best known for correctly forecasting the 2008 housing crash, said in a recent Retirement Lifestyle Advocates podcast.
