美国的房屋销售在6月创下两年低点, US home sales hit a two-year low in June, driven down by rising mortgage rates and prices.

美国的房屋销售在6月下降了2.7%,达到了2021年9月以来的最低速度,原因是抵押贷款利率高,销售中位价格创历史新高,为435 300美元。 US home sales fell 2.7% in June, reaching their lowest pace since September 2021, due to high mortgage rates and record-high median sales prices of $435,300. 全国房地产商协会报告说,现有的房屋销售量下降到按季节调整的393万个单位的年率。 The National Association of Realtors reported that existing home sales declined to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 3.93 million units. 尽管有更多的住房被列入名单出售,但库存仍然低于人口大流行前的水平,导致价格上升。 Despite more homes being listed for sale, the inventory still falls short of pre-pandemic levels, driving prices up. 高按揭利率正在降低自有住房的可负担性,特别是对于第一次买主而言,6月,第一次买主仅占住房销售的30%。 High mortgage rates are making homeownership less affordable, particularly for first-time buyers, who made up only 30% of home sales in June.
