Mortgage rates have hit a 20-year record high, but buyers are still eager to purchase homes in South Bend, Indiana. 'People want to buy a house even though the interest rates are up right now,' said Jan Lazzara, a real estate agent who has worked in St. Joseph County for more than two decades. 'As long as we're not overpriced, we're seeing multiple offers.'
