Slowing Housing Market 

iStock-1830334258According to the Home Improvement Research Institute (HIRI), the building products market is estimated to decline by 1.8 percent this year. This is at least partially a result of a 10 percent slowdown in single family housing starts compared to 2022 – which was always a likely outcome considering mortgage rates on Feb. 21, 2022, hover between and 6.6 percent for a 15-year fixed loan and 7.3 percent for a 30-year loan. The housing market is expected to experience slower sales until rates begin to fall once more.
