Mortgage rates are going back up… but buyers are still coming back

From the New Door Realty video archive, originally published April 30, 2026. Market figures, listing status, and event details reflect the original video date.

Rates are back in the mid-6% range — and normally that slows everything down.

But instead, buyer activity is picking up: more searches more showings more contracts

Why? Because buyers are starting to accept that higher rates are the new normal… and waiting hasn’t really made things cheaper. Prices are still holding — and people don’t want to miss the next wave again.

Connecticut twist: with inventory already tight, more buyer activity = competition comes back fast.

DM “COMING BACK” and I’ll show you how to move before it gets more competitive.
