We're also seeing supply constrict though at least in my local market - people are staying put because unless they're throwing up a cash offer, they would also be jumping into 7.5%+ rates. This is exacerbated in markets where secondary homes abound but does present a good buying opportunity if you can afford a year or two of pain before refinancing. A year or two ago anyone looking to finance a purchase was beaten by cash offers.
