Housing supply remains tight, with existing home inventory far below pre-pandemic levels, limiting demand recovery.
Economists warn the drop may be temporary, driven more by market volatility than strong economic data.
Mortgage applications jumped about 22% year-over-year, suggesting lower rates are nudging hesitant buyers.
The average forecast across major agencies is roughly 6.2% for 2026.
