US home sales rose in September, but slowed from a year earlier as mortgage rates, prices rose
Home sales in the U.S. increased in September compared to August, but dropped compared to the same month last year. Mortgage rates have risen significantly in recent months, and home prices have also gone up, making it harder for people to afford to buy homes. Purchase applications for mortgages have declined for six straight weeks and recently hit a fresh low. The housing market remains sluggish as these higher costs keep potential buyers away.
