The Zhitong Finance App learned that as US mortgage interest rates break through 7% again, the US real estate market is being severely impacted. According to the latest data from the real estate brokerage firm Redfin, the number of contracts for sale of existing homes in the US plummeted 4% month-on-month in September, the biggest drop in more than three years and one of the lowest levels in nearly 12 years. Meanwhile, the supply of homes for sale climbed to its highest level since March 2020, reflecting that high interest rates are continuing to weaken demand for home purchases and increase downward pressure on the US real estate market.
