With mortgage rates on the rise over the past several months there certainly has been less competition out there. Also, there is now more inventory sitting on the market longer which can give the buyers negotiating power on their offers. If buyers wait for rates to come down the opposite outcome. Remember you marry the house & date the rate. When rates come back down there is always the opportunity to refinance into a lower rate. I've been putting many of my clients in an ARM program that offers a much lower rate/payment compared to a traditional 30yr fixed rate program.
