Summary · why it matters

Zillow data shows that home sales in June rose 6% compared to a year ago, indicating buyers remained active this spring despite elevated mortgage rates. Many buyers and sellers have accepted rates around 6.5% and are moving forward with plans driven by life events such as new jobs or growing families. Affordability has seen slight improvement as rates have edged down from the 6.7% to 6.8% range last spring, and home price growth remains slow. Looking ahead, housing economists are watching the labor market closely, as any weakening could lower mortgage rates but also dampen buyer confidence, while steady wage growth and even modest rate declines could provide tailwinds.
