If you’ve been wondering whether buyers are still in the market, here’s your answer: yes, and they’re back with a vengeance. In fact, online searches for “homes for sale” are the highest they’ve been in two years. That surge began even before last week’s mortgage rate drop. For reference, rates slipped to 6.55% on August 7, and then again to 6.53% on August 13, according to Mortgage News Daily.
