The sudden surge in mortgage rates has reduced homebuyers’ budgets in many markets, forcing sellers to reset their price expectations.

Price drops are becoming increasingly common, particularly in relatively affordable places that have seen home values surge as people moved in from expensive coastal areas. In Boise, ID, where home prices are up 62% in the past two years, 41% of home-sellers dropped their price in April, the largest share among the 108 metropolitan divisions included in Redfin’s analysis. That’s up from 10% a year ago. Cape Coral, FL (33%), New Orleans (32%), Baton Rouge, LA (31%) and Sacramento (30%) rounded out the five markets that are driving the national rate of price drops to its highest level since October 2019.
