Ian Shepherdson, chief economist with Pantheon Macroeconomics, said in a report last week that tumbling demand for homes amid sharply rising mortgage rates is weighing heavily on housing prices.&nbsp;
"[W]e expect home sales to keep falling until early next year. By that point, sales will have fallen to the incompressible minimum level, where the only people moving home are those with no choice due to job or family circumstances," he said. "Discretionary buyers are disappearing rapidly in the face of the near-400 [basis point] increase in rates over the past year." Economists at Goldman Sachs said they expect home prices to fall by a more modest 5% to 10% next year.&nbsp;

The average rate on 15-year, fixed-rate mortgages is now 6.23%, compared with 2.33% a year ago. Rising rates have forced some homeowners to pump the brakes on selling their property because they would have to get a mortgage to buy another home as rates are surging.&nbsp;
"It's entirely possible that even people who want to trade down will face a bigger monthly payment," Shepherdson said. "That's a good reason to stay put, thereby constraining supply."
The inventory of unsold existing homes fell for the second straight month in September to 1.25 million, according to NAR data.&nbsp; The supply of homes available for sale will likely shrink next year, predicted Shepherdson, while noting that "prices have to fall substantially in order to restore equilibrium."
The median home sale price rose to $384,800 in September, up 8.4% from a year ago, the NAR&nbsp;said.&nbsp;
"We think inventory could increase modestly in the next month or two as homes sit on the market for longer, but new listings continue to decline as sellers retreat to the sidelines," Nancy Vanden Houten, lead U.S.

 <h2>How high will rates go </h2>
Economists expect mortgage rates to continue climbing next year as the Federal Reserve further pushes up borrowing costs in a bid to curb inflation. Rates could reach 8.5% "which would be another big shock to the housing market," NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun told a group of real estate investors last week.
