The results were revealing. Of the buyers who answered the poll, 40 percent said that they would be putting their search on hold, while another 38 percent said that they would keep looking, but lower their budget. Only 21 percent said that the increase in rates was not changing their buying plans at all.
Long-term mortgage rates have soared in recent months, jumping from 3.92% in February to 5.25% last week.
