Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Interest rates on mortgage loans can affect the affordability of homes, and therefore can shift demand for new houses. If interest rates are low, more people may be able to afford a mortgage and demand for new houses may increase. On the other hand, if interest rates are high, fewer people may be able to afford a mortgage and demand for new houses may decrease. Factors A and B may affect the supply of new houses, but not demand. The price of new houses (C) is not a demand shifter, but rather the price that is influenced by the interaction of demand and supply.
