AP AUDIO: US home sales flat in April as weak spring buying season continues.
U.S. residential sales remained stagnant in April, signaling ongoing weakness in the housing sector during historically strong sales periods. Median home prices, however, reached a record $417,700, reflecting sustained demand despite elevated costs. The market's struggle with affordability persists amid limited inventory and fluctuating mortgage rates, which have recently climbed above pre-pandemic lows. Inventory levels remain critically low, contributing to prolonged listing times and competitive bidding in many regions. Experts note that without significant increases in new home construction, recovery toward balanced market conditions will be gradual.
