Why?! Because nobody is buying houses right now. Why would someone get out of a mortgage where they are locked in at a low interest rate only to get locked in with a very high and shitty interest rate?

That's solved if prices fall enough, which they need to.

So you think the historically normal interest rate is what’s hurting buyers and not the massively inflated market prices themselves?
That's where this circle's back to every time. Lower interest rates in order to inflate the value of housing.
Now there is this new NPC talking point about the federal debt, but we all know where that's coming from and again, that's a spending issue that needs to be resolved with spending less and fixing our debt issues that way

You are such a pathetic person....let me guess, biden led the biggest economic turnaround in history after the country was shut down.
How does it feel being a pathetic, gay, beta. You know good and damn well why covid was started as it was the only way to keep trump out in 2020...by mail in cheating.

Good. Hopefully this pushed more pressure on the market dramatically lowering the prices of homes. Houses aren't being sold because the total cost of Price Plus interest is too high. Interest can remain where it is and total cost are lowered by dramatically decreasing the value and selling prices of homes.

Well everyone says that people can't afford their houses. So eventually there's going to be market pressure, terminations, and other market forces that are going to cause people to have to take some losses on real estate and then this will start the market losing confidence in the value of housing prices, which is going to really escalate the slashing of these overrated home values

Because they cost too much.
Increase demand and guess what happens?

The economy seems to be doing fine, and unemployment is low
Now imagine yourself as a newly married 23 year old with a kid on the way looking to buy their first home.

See, that’s the neato thing about economics. When the demand for something drops at a certain price, the seller has to adjust or else they get to keep it.

The far more salient question is, why shouldn't we lower them.
Rates are a means to an end, not the end itself.
The Fed's Congressional Mandate: 1) Full employment with, 2) price stability.
Notice the mandate does not say, "Help congress reduce its spending on the national debt."
Nor does it say, "Because the incumbent President wants lower rates."

Are housing prices just supposed to increase until the end of time?

Existing home inventory is way down ... even with asking prices dropping dramatically. Older homeowners are less inclined to sell our mortgage free homes.
Additionally, new home builders have cut way back because of less demand .... which is the result of higher rates.
New home cash buyers, retiring and moving South .... are dropping because they cannot sell their existing homes in rhe Northeast and Midwest.
Yes, there is a market crisis.
Furthermore, municipal and county governments have slowed infrastructure upgrades and expansion because of high rates. Thus forcing them to limit building permits in fear of overloading existing infrastructure. Water, sewage, roads, etc.
