Interest rates on mortgages have gone up one full point over the last six months (to about 6.5% on 30 yr. fixed), possibly in anticipation of this increase. Still selling like gangbusters, just longer marketing time and slightly slower price appreciation.

Mortgage rates typically are priced off treasury notes I believe, which have already been rising over the last 3-4 months.
