Last December, real-estate experts predicted that mortgage rates would rise, pushing the number of home sales down in 2004. If their prediction had proved true, it would have meant that stories like the one real-estate executive Dan Givens tells would be tales of the past.

Givens' tale concerned the sale of a neglected, nearly century-old North Seattle house. Its foundation sagged; its siding was bad. And that was just the start of its problems. Anyone brave enough to buy this money pit was probably looking at spending "a couple of hundred thousand dollars" to bring it up to shape, said Givens, a Windermere manager.
As the home went on the market, agents speculated that it might fetch about $400,000. Nineteen offers later, the sad old house sold for $509,000.
