最新报道:June home sales fell 3.3% month-over-month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.16 million units, marking the third consecutive monthly decline, according to the National Association of Realtors. Despite slowing sales, the median existing-home price climbed 5.8% year-over-year to a record $419,300, as tight inventory continues to pressure buyers. NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun noted that rising mortgage rates above 7% and limited housing supply are creating "the least affordable market in 40 years," with first-time buyers accounting for just 28% of transactions. Regional declines were led by the Northeast (-8.3%) and West (-4.9%), while the South saw a modest 1.2% drop.
