Pending home sales slumped in April — this means less homes were under contract this past month... #slowspringbuyingseason

Mortgage rates topped 7% again this week, not great for homebuyers who are looking for some affordability.

average 30 year mortgage rate this week: - 6.99%, down from 7.03% last week - demand for buying a home still very low...mortgage application dropped again. - why? high rate, high home prices

Home prices declined in some "pandemic boomtowns," including Austin, San Antonio, Dallas, Tampa... to name a few. Experts said this is because - rising new home inventory - more homeowners are selling because home insurance is too $$$ - fewer Americans moving to these cities

Existing home sales - or basically number of home sales - declined again in May. Highlights from here: 1. Spring recovery didnt happen 2. Prices are still high, so are mortgage rates 3. Inventory is growing though..

First-time buyers represented 31% of buyers, down from 33% in April 2024 but up from 28% in May 2023. 28% of buyers had all-cash sales, flat from one month ago but up from 25% one year ago. nar.realtor/research-and-s…
