What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Mark Fleming analyzed housing market trends using information from the Federal Housing Finance Agency and S&P CoreLogic. Reports indicate that while national home prices continued to grow in August, rising borrowing costs are straining affordability. First American data showed real house prices fell 1.3% year-over-year in August 2026, even as average 30-year fixed rates climbed to 6.67%.
