What happened
The housing market is experiencing a nationwide bust, with pending home sales plunging 5.4% in June from May, according to the National Association of Realtors. Amid high supply of existing homes, industry groups have launched the 'Let America Build' campaign to address housing supply and affordability issues. This campaign is tied to the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act.
