Existing-home sales decline across most U.S. regions; rising mortgage rates and limited inventory dampen buyer optimism.

30-year mortgage rate could hit 8% amid federal reserve rate hikes; home inventory dips to historic lows.

Mortgage payments on a typical home rise by 11.6% year-over-year.

Despite monthly gains, all regions report year-over-year transaction declines; housing market recovery stagnates amid lack of supply.

‘First-half of the year was a downer,’ as sales fell 23%.
