From Today's Report:

"...'Home sales increased in October even with the government shutdown due to homebuyers taking advantage of lower mortgage rates,' said NAR Chief Economist Dr. Lawrence Yun. 'First-time homebuyers are facing headwinds in the Northeast due to a lack of supply and in the West because of high home prices. First-time buyers fared better in the Midwest because of the plentiful supply of affordable houses and in the South because there is sufficient inventory.'

'Rents are decelerating which will reduce inflation and encourage the Federal Reserve to continue cutting rates and pulling back their quantitative tightening,' Yun added. 'This will help bring more homebuyers into the market since the Fed rate has an indirect impact on mortgage rates.'..."
