Housing Bust Approaches It's Fourth Year!!!
Buyers are also worried about the job market and turned off by still-high home prices, making them hesitant to commit to a purchase, agents say.
Home sales were flat in April, dealing a substantial blow to a housing industry that was counting on a strong spring season to emerge from an extended slump.
Real-estate agents and mortgage lenders are now bracing for another slow year of home sales.
The market has been stuck in a rut for more than three years, slumping after mortgage rates started to climb in 2022.
This spring selling season is now looking like a repeat of the past three that were largely busts.
