AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoBuyer Demand: U.S. pending home sales fell 7.3% in September from August and 11.3% year over year, reaching their lowest level since at least 2001. A sharp rise in mortgage rates—near 7.5% during the month—helped push buyers to the sidelines; the latest 30-year average is 7.19%. Market Pressure: Builder confidence sank to a 14-year low as cancellations rose and sellers cut prices to attract cautious buyers. Affordable Housing: A federal rule change could make manufactured homes cheaper and easier to build as multi-unit housing, but about 30 states may need to update regulations before the new supply can take hold.
