In the national outlook, Lawrence Yun, National Association of REALTORS® chief economist stated: “The back-and-forth in monthly home sales activity, driven by mild fluctuations in mortgage rates, shows how sensitive home buyers are to affordability conditions. However, job gains—more than half a million since the beginning of the year—will continue to provide support for the housing market.”
