Experts suggest this defies typical market responses to higher borrowing costs. The sustained sales activity points to underlying factors supporting the housing sector. This trend challenges expectations of a significant slowdown in property transactions. The market’s performance suggests a degree of insulation from the impact of increased interest rates.
