This press release details newly published housing market figures showing home sales falling to their lowest level in 14 months, even as inventory swells to nearly a seven-year high. The disconnect points to weakening buyer demand rather than a shortage of available properties.
Compounding affordability concerns, a separate statement referenced in this release confirms home-insurance premiums have reached record highs, driven by insurers repricing risk after a string of hurricanes, storms, and wildfires.
Together, these releases paint a picture of a housing sector under dual pressure from softer demand and rising carrying costs, a dynamic likely to weigh on transaction volumes through the remainder of the year.
