Sky-high mortgage rates leave homes unaffordable for more buyers, sending new home sales tumbling

Published Thu, 28 Nov 2024 10:34:09 GMT

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Sales of new U.S. homes hit a 5-month low last month as sky-high mortgage rates continue to strain prospective homebuyers’ ability to afford a dwelling.The pace slowed 8.7% in August from the previous month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 675,000 properties, the Department of Commerce reported this week. Economists polled by FactSet had expected the annual pace to reach 700,000 homes.“Homebuilders are still benefiting from very low inventory of existing homes for sale, which has driven more buyers to consider new construction, but with mortgage rates elevated and home prices high, affordability is a growing concern for homebuyers,” said Lisa Sturtevant, chief economist at Bright MLS.Mortgage rates are near a 23-year high, forcing many would-be buyers to the sidelines. The average rate on a 30-year mortgage moved above 7% in August for the first time since November and has stayed above that threshold since then, according to mortgage buyer Fredd...

SUPREME COURT NOTEBOOK: From bananas to baby socks, lawyers stick to routines before arguments

Published Thu, 28 Nov 2024 10:34:09 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration’s top Supreme Court lawyer eats a bunch of bananas. Other advocates play music to psych themselves up. Some rub the feet on John Marshall’s statue a floor below the courtroom.The Supreme Court, which begins its new term on Monday, is awash in ritual. So it’s no surprise that the lawyers have a few regular, if occasionally eccentric, observances of their own.Arguing at the court can be both intimate and intimidating. Lawyers stand at a lectern that’s surprisingly close to the bench. They can spend an hour or more responding to questions from the nine justices.Advocates have many ways of getting ready, and some who have argued many cases have developed their own routines or lucky charms that they employ for a variety of reasons — out of a sense of comfort or, perhaps, because their first argument went well and no one likes to mess with a good thing.Before each of his 50 Supreme Court arguments, Neal Katyal talked to his thre...

We have to win. It’s the perfect situation (to face the haka). I am dreaming of this moment.”Aside from Namibia, Los Teros really targeted Italy in Pool A, and put months of planning into taking down the Six Nations wooden-spooner.
