美国7月二手房销售降至三个月低点，高企的房价和抵押贷款利率持续拖累房地产市场。
据美国全国地产经纪商协会（NAR）周二公布的数据，7月二手房销售下降1.7%，折合年率为406万套。与彭博调查经济学家的预估中值一致。
销售数据疲软反映出房地产市场依然低迷。今年以来，依然高企的房价和上升的借贷成本导致许多潜在购房者继续持观望态度。自2022年底以来，二手房销售一直徘徊在接近400万套的年化水平，等待能够推动持续复苏的催化因素。
“尽管过去几个月抵押贷款利率不断上升，房屋销售一直保持惊人的稳定，”NAR首席经济学家Lawrence Yun在声明中表示。他还表示：“毫无疑问，如果平均抵押贷款利率回落至接近6%，房地产市场将会十分活跃。”
近几个月来，住房融资成本和房价走势均对购房者不利。自2月底伊朗战争爆发以来，30年期抵押贷款利率持续攀升，近期升至一年高点6.81%。
7月售价中值同比上涨2%，至43.41万美元，为有记录以来7月最高水平，也延续了自2023年夏季开始的房价同比上涨趋势。
