Goldman Sachs has repeatedly raised its interest rate expectations, and this forecast continues its cautious assessment of inflation persistence and the Federal Reserve's path.
In terms of capital flow, the high interest rate environment continues to suppress housing demand, with resources shifting towards cash buyers and investment properties, motivated by the need to hedge against the risks of a cooling housing market, reflecting the long-term impact of macro policies on the real estate cycle.
Similar to the impact of the high interest rate cycle from 2022-2023 on the U.S. housing market, the U.S. is currently transitioning from an overheated housing market to a slow adjustment phase under normalized high interest rates.
This essentially relates to regulatory changes and capital concentration: maintaining high interest rates is fundamentally driven by prioritizing inflation control over stimulating demand, which shifts pricing power towards cash holders or high-credit buyers and reshapes the real estate financing structure.
