Online resources: Summary: Predicts that rising interest rates will have a delayed impact on house prices; buyer confidence will be affected more than housing affordability in the short term. Even if interest rates rise over 5% this is not seen as a trigger for a general collapse in house prices. The market is still on course for a softish landing with a shift to single digit house price growth taking place over the next 12-18 months. However, if interest rates peak below current market expectations, and fall back more rapidly than anticipated, then double digit house price growth could well be sustained into and over 2005.
