A new report by Redfin reveals that home cancelations have hit their highest numbers since the beginning of the pandemic. Nationally, 60,000 housing deals were canceled by buyers in June because of higher interest rates. That’s equivalent to 14.9% of the number of homes that were put under contract during that month.
Right now, the housing market is cooling since interest rates have reached nearly 5% in recent weeks.
