  • Prior month +2.0% (revised to +1.8%)

Details

  • Home sales index 79.0 versus 77.4 last month (revised to 77.3)
  • Sales 6.9% vs 5.4% year on year prior

This is the fourth-consecutive month of increases and buyers give up waiting for lower rates. In December though, US 30-year fixed rates rose above 7% and that's been a big problem in the past.

Buyers are no longer waiting for or expecting mortgage rates to fall substantially."
