Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Mortgage rates have risen sharply, moving from 6.7% in early September to 7.4% last week, following interest rate increases by the FED. This environment is causing potential buyers to delay purchases, leading experts to expect further declines in existing home sales.
