NYT article here.

I see the median price in Norfolk county is about $400k so I think that means we can assume that Wellesley, as an example, would probably be about median (15% drop). According to the article interest rates from private market are about 1% higher. Does that apply to the whole loan or just the 15%? Do GSEs still allow you to get another loan on top of the one they're giving?

In the town of Wellesley, the median sales price is $800k. Assuming a 1% rise in interest rates equates to a 10% drop in home prices, will we get a 10% drop on these homes or 1.5%? Even if the latter, the drop might be larger as people may be unwilling to take on second loans or they may not be as available. I also wonder if that 1% spread will widen as demand for those loans increases.
