Buying homes beats renting for equity.
If you plan to live in a place, buying is better than renting because renting throws money away and buying builds equity; young buyers are struggling but homeownership remains a path to economic security.

The David Lin Report
US home prices still falling.
The lock-in effect keeps many 3% mortgage holders from selling, but there are not enough buyers willing or able to take on 7%+ rates, so the imbalance between sellers and buyers pushes US home prices down.

High mortgage rates hurt US housing market
High borrowing costs are hurting the US housing market: the 30-year fixed mortgage rate is holding at 7.4% near three-year highs, home purchases have fallen for a sixth straight week, pending sales are near 12-year lows, price gains are slowing, and sellers are cutting asking prices to generate activity. Gopal stresses that the sharp increase in rates, rather than the level itself, has caused much of the slowdown; a steady 6.5% rate would likely have been manageable given income growth.
