byu/McFatty7 inREBubble
Pending U.S. home sales fell 1% year over year as mortgage rates ticked up after nine straight weeks of declines. Some would-be buyers are hesitant due to economic uncertainty, including jitters about potential layoffs and the government shutdown.
Pending U.S. home sales fell roughly 1% from a year earlier during the four weeks ending September 28, the biggest decline in nearly five months. On a local level, pending sales fell in 30 of the 50 largest U.S. metro areas, led by Houston (-15.4% year over year), Denver (-12.3%) and Las Vegas (-11.2%).
