Why Lower Rates Mean More Buyers (And More Competition)

Why Lower Rates Mean More Buyers (And More Competition)

Whenever mortgage rates drop, one thing always happens: more buyers jump into the market. Lower rates = lower payments, and suddenly more people can qualify for homes they couldn’t afford before.

That’s what’s happening right now in Southern California. Interest rates have dropped, which is great news—but it also means competition is heating up. More buyers means homes are selling faster, often with multiple offers. And when homes get multiple offers, prices rise.

This is especially true for manufactured and mobile homes, where affordability is the main draw. They’re already limited in supply, and as more buyers compete for the same properties, the scarcity grows even sharper.

Waiting to act could mean paying more or losing the exact home you had your eye on. Buyers who are ready with financing in place are the ones winning in this market.
