Do you think interest rates will continue to go up?

6.5% of US homes for sale had a price drop

A recent report from Redfin said more home sellers are dropping their asking price. During the four weeks ending September 24, 6.5% of US homes for sale had a price drop, an uptick from 5.8% in August.

"It's still tough to win a home for under asking price, but sellers have come to terms with the fact that 7%-plus mortgage rates are giving buyers cold feet and that homes aren't as likely to attract multiple offers," Redfin said.

97,197 Southern California homes sold during the first seven months of 2023, the lowest January-to-July total on record.

This year's sales tally is 41% lower than during the pandemic boom two years ago.
