🏠 U.S. HOMEBUYERS BACK OUT AT HIGHEST RATE SINCE 2023: About 14% of U.S. home-purchase agreements fell through in July, the highest share since November 2023, according to Redfin. Cancellations were highest in Atlanta at 19.8%, followed by Houston at 19.6%, San Antonio at 18.7% and Las Vegas at 18.6%. Redfin says there were 51.3% more sellers than buyers nationwide, giving buyers more leverage to walk away over inspections, low appraisals or rejected concessions, while high home prices and mortgage rates continue to strain affordability.
