September 2024 Economist Snapshot: Fed rate cuts bring limited relief to the U.S. housing affordability crisis
Affordability and low inventory are continuing to create pain points for the housing market. According to newly released data from the National Association of REALTORS (NAR), pending home sales are at their lowest level since the Great Financial Crisis. Existing-home sales for August dropped 4.2 percent from a year ago to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 3.86 million. Although the Fed has kicked off its rate-cutting cycle with a 50-basis-point reduction at its September 18 meeting, high interest rates are still a big hurdle for homebuyers and housing developers.
