Buyers are stuck by high rates and affordability hurdles, while sellers hold tight with rock-bottom past rates. Agents report sluggish activity, especially in places like Las Vegas, as first-time buyers face rising costs and stricter lending. Despite optimistic economic signals, real-world struggles persist — and with the Fed still in the picture, the stalemate may last.
