        "text": "Interest rate changes directly impact borrowing costs for luxury home buyers. Higher rates can reduce purchasing power or shift buyers towards properties with more competitive pricing. For sellers, rising rates might lead to a smaller pool of qualified buyers or longer market times. However, in the luxury segment, cash buyers are common, somewhat mitigating the impact of interest rate fluctuations. It's a practical tradeoff for buyers to weigh potential savings on interest versus waiting for market shifts, while sellers might need to adjust pricing expectations.",
